The “FROG” and a BIG_BANK
The morning’s fog was heavy. Little son came in and said:
“Mama, heaps er spider-webs this mornin’ on the trees!”
“No more webs than usual, son, but the heavy fog settled on
them and you see the fog more than the web.”
“Mama, where do the ‘frog’ come from?”
But this bank HAS MORE STRENGTH as the days go by—
it has always been a mighty strong bank—but WE GROW
STRONGER day by day. You see our steady increase of de
posits, don’t you?
These very large deposits are the FOG THAT SHOWS UP
THE PRESENCE OF UNDOUBTED SUPERIOR STRENGTH.
The fog advertised the presence of the webs.
Largest deposits advertise our greater strength. _
The Exchange National Bank
Deposits running over the Half-Million Dollar Mark.

Hocking Owned By
Foe, Says England
Washington, Nov. 11.—Ambassador Page, at London, cabled
the State Department to-day that the British Foreign Office has
informed him that the steamer Hocking, which was seized by a
prize crew from a British warship and taken to Halifax while
flying the Ameriecan flag, is being held because it is “enemy own
ed.”
The State Department will now call ‘upon the ‘owners of the
vessels—the American Trans-Atlantic Steamship Company -to prove
that the vessell is owned by American interest. If that is proved
a demand will be made upon Great Britain to release the vessel at
once.
Schoolmates ‘Meet
- B. T. Strickland, who was
raised upin N. Georgia met up
with one of his old school mates,
Frank Sherman, a travelling
man, of Rosswell, who tells a
good story on Ben. Whilst at
school, the boys up around Ross
well would bring along either an
apple or a peach, according to
the season, for their lunch, and
B. T. so Frank tells on him,
would pick out the smallest boy
with the biggest peach and pro
ceed to tell him a story and peal
his peach, then slowly eating it,

him.
