Notice to Road Overseers.
Numerous complaints have
been made to me by the citizens
over the county to the effect that
the road overseers were neglect
ing theii duty in not working
the public roads as is required
by law, and I take this means to
address a public letter to the
road overseers to this effect so
that all road overseers who bare
foiled to do their duty as is re-
quired by law are violating the
law, and I trust that these who
have been negligent in this mat-
ter will at onee perform your
W. duty in this matter and save any
troubte in our courta. The law
gives each road overseer $1.50
per day for his services for a
period of not to exceed twenty-
five daya in any year, ana if each
road overseer will perform his
duty, working the twenty-five
days in each year as is provided
by law, we should have better
roads and no complaints from

SAFETY FIRST
Liberality Hext
Both are essential to successful
banking. We tried to give our
customers the benefit of the Depos-
itors Guaranty Fund of State of
Oklahoma, but under the Attorney
General's ruling we were compelled
to withdraw from our agreement
with the State Board. The fact
that we were under the Guaranty
Law should be sufficient proof to
you that we are absolutely safe or
we could not hare undergone the
rigid examination that it required
to come under that law.
We always try to be liberal to
our customers and will always ex-
tend to them any accommodation
that is within our power upon the
most liberal terms to be had.
