Capital 1903 $100000. Surplius $10000.
The First National is .pre-eminently tlie BaiiK of the Frontier. Its stockholders belong here.
Its interests are those of our best and most progressive citizens. We offer to our customers present
and prosp active the advantages of the largest capital and surplus of any bank in this section and
of the safe and conservative banking methods which have resulted in the successful
building up of this bank in the past twelve years.
Its financial position is established and the energy experience and business ability
of the management will continue to be wholly directed to the maintenance and increase
of these advantages.
Our Aim In Business.
We desire to make the First National the Bank of the People. The
small depositor receives the same courteous treatment and considera-
tion that is extended to the largest within the limits of safe and con-
servative banking. Officers give personal attention to all details.
Directors meet regularly and frequently and keep closely in touch
with the current business. Every safeguard known to safe and suc-
cessful banking is availed of and our past success is the Lest criterion
by which to judge of the securit' of the future.
We Solicit The Patronage Of AH.
Our funds are protected in a fireproof vault and by the best safes
to be obtained; and are further covered by insurance against burglary
or daylight robbery. Our officers are under bond in the best surety
companies.
People who intrust their money to a bank have a right to know its
financial strength. We recognize this right and will cheerfully furnish
any depositor a statement of our condition any day in the year. Ab-
solute safety is the best thing we have to offer and upon this basis
your account is solicited. m

W. G. Hall one of the few rice
farmers who have raised a second j
crop said today that a late letter
from a brother at New Iberia La.
informed him that several frosts
and some thin ice had visited Louis
iana this season. But Louisiana is!
fit only for rice and other hardy
grains. The Brownsville country
produces better rice and all other
grains vegetables fruits and flow-
ers besides. There is no comparison
in the two sections of the country.
For fine jewelry of all kinds call
at Putegnat's drugstore.

erence to soil climate the seasons
