Postal Bank at Princeton Proves Drawing Card.

Princeton, Ind, Feb. 5.—“-The Princeton Postal Savings Bank has completed its first month of business, paving opened Jan. 3, and Postmaster Tichenor and Bank Clerk W. E. Simpson have made their monthly report to the government. While they can make public no part of the official report, they are more than pleased with the amount of business. There is scarcely an hour in the day that several depositors are not seen at the postal savings window, and while many of them are only adding to accounts, there are also many new deposits being started, Each week seems to have brought a little increasing briskness at the window, especially among women and children, who are large patronizers’of the savings cards and stamps by means of which they can save a dime at a time.. Many working men and boys, especially those of foreign birth, deposit regularly each pay day. Postmaster Tichenor continues to receive letters from out of town people containing money for deposit, ona .letter recently from a large city containing 8100, but he is compelled to return all such money, as dnly from regular patrons of the office can deposits be accepted at present. "If all the new postal banks are being as well patronized as the Princeton bank,” said Posctmaster Tichenor. today, "I feel sure the department will have no reason to doubt the ultimate success in this country.”
