BANK DEPOSITORS
CONTINUE TO SIGN
Approximately 80 Percent of

In < riatiN
Depositors of the closed First Na
tional Bank of Henderson continue to
sign the agreement offered them
whereby the bank can be reopened
for business, and to date approxi
mately 80 percent of them have
agreed to the plan. It was learned
today. It was also stated that ap
proximately 7r. percent of the required
new capital of SIOO,OOO and 520.00 Q sur
plus had been signed by stockholcfc
ers of the bank.
While committees have been call
ing on stockholders, no organized
campaign by visitation has been made
to reach the depositors. It is hoped
that all or moat of the depositors will
come in and sitrd or mail in their
agreements without the necessity of
sending out committees.
The plan for the reorganization is
to raise a new capital of SIOO,OOO with
an added surplus of $20,000. This
would make it possible to pay off in
cash when the hank reopens all de
positors with S2O or less on deposit
and pay ten percent to all depositors,
big and little, it is said.
Stockholders have been asked to
make their arrangements, so that the
bank can reopen after May 15. and
those in charge of the effort are still
hopeful that they can bring the plan
into operation by that time. Mean
while. they are appealing to all stock
holders and depositors to give their
cooperation of the plan.

Several Applications Filed Saturday, Last Day; Some
Who Have Received Checks in Quandary In Lack of
Tobacco Plants; Should See Loan Agent
The time-limit having expired last
Saturday for the filing of applica
tions for government seed loans, it
was announced here today by J. W.
Sanders, county farm agent, and R.
IL Sheppard, government farm loan
agent, that approximately 700 appli
cations had been made in this coun
ty for an aggregate amount of ap
proximately $85,000. Most of the loans,
it was said, have fcjeen approved, and
all or a part of the money sent to
the borrowers.
It was said that the total was about
evenly divided as between white and
colored farmers. .
Mr. Sheppard said that a number
of farmers who had already received
their checks were rather in a quan

promises to raise a stipulated amount
of tobacco and now find themselves
without plants due to the presence ot

without plants and with little prospect
of being able to get them anywhere.
All such growers, he said, ought to
confer with him at once to obtain an
adjustment so that they may use the
money furnished to them and at the
same time proceed with their crop.
Mr. Sheppard aiso stated that a De
.partment of Agriculture rule with
farm loans is that when a part of the
money is sent to the applicant, a card
is also sent on which information is
to he furnished as to how the first
installment of the money has been
used. The remainder of the loan ask
ed for, even though approved, will not
be sent until that card is returned to
the Department of Agriculture, and
then not until the applicant has con

information furnished. He urged all
such growers to send in the cards and
