The mercantile firm of Hall & Garton, of Tocsin, is still figuring on the starting of a new bank in that place, although the company has not been organized yet nor the stock sold. The fact that other towns of the county are starting banks has been an incentive to he people of Tocsin to get busy and keep the money in that vicinity.
