TO START ANOTHER BANK.

W. R. Lee, for the past two years a of the G. E. Murray department store, has severed his connection therewith and formed a partnership with B. F. Ferguson iu the real estate aud loan business, under the firm name of The Farmers Loan, Abstract and Safety Deposit Company. They have moved into new quarters in the Harris bank building, lately occupied by the Jasper Savings and Trust Co., and expect to also organize a bank and be ready to do a general banking business by April 1. The rooms they occupy were designed for banking rooms and are fitted with vault, safe and other banking fixtures. Mr, Lee still retains his stock in the Murray store but will not be in anywise connected therewith in the future. He thinks he will like the new business he has undertaken much better and will devote bis entire attention thereto. Mr; Ferguson is one of Jasper, county’s oldest real estate and loan agents and the new firm ought to make a good combination.
