PAGE TEN CDUNTBK-aag^ BLOOMINGTON. Special Correspondence to the Herald. We find the Fenuimoie Times slightly in error in the statement that the State Bank of Fennimore is the second in the county in matter of de posits. That distinction must be ac corded the Woodhouse & Bartley Bank of this village. According to the statements published last week the deposits of the Woodhouse & Bartley Bank exceed the State Bank 13,750 95, and so has the second place in the county in the matter of de posits. The total footings of the Fen nimore Bank exceed the home bank several thousand dollars, because the capital stock and surplus fund exceed the Bloomington institution’s some $30,000 The deposits of the Bloom ington State Bank are $73,89.84, mak ing a total of $640,397.82 for Bloom ington, in inland village of 650 people.
