A WELL BALANCED BANK
In the annexed statement you
will find a true report of every item
on our books. „
Many bank statements con-
tain items known as 'Tillers'',
which are used to make a "Show-
ing." They are both misleading
and difficult to digest.
The following statement of
"The Old Reliable"
Is not only worth reading, but
offers much food for thought and is
easily digested. It meeLs every
requirement of the Banking and
Pure Food laws, and contains no
foreign matter or impurities.
Study and compare it with all
the Bank Statements you can get.
It will bear the closest inspection
of the most cautious depositor.
When you have business in our
line come aud see us.

STATE BANKINC LAW
A State Bank at C'oalgate, Ok la., was closed
on the l21st of May, for gross violation of the State
Banking law and in exactly 42 minutes after it was
closed the State Bank Commissioner began to pay
the depositors in full under the new Guaranty Law.
This shows the benefit to be derived when yuu
do business with a bank organized under this new
law.
Deposits in this bank are protected ag.;inst loss
by the depositors guarantee fund and money placed
with us is absolutely SECURE.
It costs you nothing to place your money in a
bank like this and you take no chances.

An Awful Rain
The rain, which began falling Fri
day afternoon and continued until j
Sunday tin ruing was the heaviest
raiu fall since '00, when we were
visited by a down pour.
Shoto, the creek which ruus
through the city, was not latga
•nougli to carry oir the water, conse-
quently it ran down the streets in
one large stream, removing the cros-
sings, but damaging very little.
The water ran iu some of the store
buildings, however scarcely auy
Ihing was damaged.
All the creeks iu the southern part
of the county wtre oveiflown, aud
the cm ps iu the bi 11 ms were bud y
dauiagid, but owing to the earliness
i I the sea-on, must cmps can In le
