A Valuable Gift
Christmas Days with all their good
cheer and pleasures are before us
again. The officers of this institu-
tion extend their best wishes for
you a very enjoyable Christmas.
A Suggestion
\
Why not present your child with
a bank account? No matter what
heritage you leave—your child will
some day be dependent on self. A
bank account will encourage habits
of thrift, saving and industry.

Rented One Place JO Years
A Proclamation By the President
G. M. Womack moved Monday
of last week from the E. K. Gunn
place five miles south of Deport
to the Sam Allen place at Hales-
boro, this being his first move
since 1890. He lived on the
Gunn place in the same house
for thirty years and has estab
lished a record for continuous
residence on ranted land that is
Whereas, by the Act of Con
Kress approved March 3, 1919,
the Fourteenth Decennial Census
of the United States is to be
taken, beginning on the second
day of January, 1920; and
Whereas, a correct enumer-
ation of the population every ten
years is required by the Consti
Forearm Split Open
John Icenburg, who resides on
the Rollins place, had his forearm
severely cut with an ax last
Thursday while butchering hogs,
His sixteen year old son was
, splitting open the head of the
hog, while Mr. Icenburg was
holding it. The end of the ax
handle struck a near by tree
which caused the miss lick*
Three stitches closed the wound.
Arm Broken At Elbow
George Thompson had the
misfortune to break his arm in
the rlbow while playing foot ball
last Friday. The attending phy-
sician does not think it will re-
sult in a stiff arm.

He rented the place for one year
and made a crop paying one
fourth rent of all crops and rent
ed again for another year, and
since then has said nothing of
moving until the place was sold
this yeajr. He continued to pav
one fourth rent up to his thirtith
crop which was customary at
the time he rented, and was never
changed with him, although
other renters pay one third and
one fourth. The writer wishes
him health, wealth and prosper-
ity in his new home. Hut it is
doubtful if he sleeps sound for
a few nights, and will always look
upon the Gunn place as his
home. _

r presentation of the several
States in the House of Represent-
atives; and
Whereas, it is of the utmost
importance to the interest of all
the people of the United States
that tliis Census should be a
complete and accurate report of
the population ar.d resources of
the Nation;
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow
Wilson, President of the United
States of America, do hereby de-
clare and make known that, un-
der the law aforesaid, it is the
duty of every person to answer
all questions on the census
schedules applying to him aud
I the family to which he belongs,
and to the farm occupied by
him or his family, and that any
person refusing to do so is sub
ject to penalty.
The sole purpose of the Cen-
sus is to secure general statisti-
cal information regarding the
population and resources of the
country and replies are required
from individuals only to permit
the compilation of such general
statistics. No person can be
harmed in any way by fu^oish
ing the information required.
The Census has nothing to do
with taxation, military or jury
service, with the compulsion of
school attendance, with the reg
ulation of immigration or with
the enforcement of any national,
state or local law or ordinance.
There need be no fear that any
disclosure will be made regard-
ing any individual person or his
affairs. For the due protection
of the rights and interests of the
persons furnishing information
every employee of the Census
Bureau is prohibited, under
heavy penalty, from disclosing
any information which may thus
come to his knowledge.
I, therefore, earnestly urge
upon all persons to answer
promptly, completely and accur-
ately all inquiries addressed to
them by the enumerators or
other employees of the Census
Bureau and thereby to contribute
their share toward making this
great and necessary public" un-
dertaking a success.
In Witness Whereof I have
hereunto set my hand and caus-
ed the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done in the District of Colum-
bia this tenth day of November,
in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and nine-
teen, and of the independence of
the United States the one hun-
dred and forty-fourth.
Woodrow Wilson.
The Bank
Of the Future
Must be willing to step aside from
the beaten paths of strictly banking
activities and to prove himself able
and willing to enter into the various
requirements of the community.
He must be first of all a business
man, versed in the needs of business;
far-visioned in judgement and alert
to the many opportunities for service
in extending the wealth of the com-
munity.
It is our earnest desire to so con-
duct this bank that it may prove a
real institution for service through-
out this vicinity.
