CITIZENS BANK - CAMPTI 1912

The stockholders of the Citizens bank held their annual meeting last night in
the spacious bank rooms. The bank is in a flourishing condition, showing the
net earnings for the year 1912 something over 18 per cent on the capital
stock. Deposits are over $72,000.00 being larger than any bank has ever had
here. A 10 per cent dividend was declared and all other profits put to surplus
funds.

The citizens bank has been in existence only 24 months and it bids fair to the
leading bank in this section.

Mr. T.K. Giddens, who has been president during this time did not wish re-
election owing to his vast personal business as he felt unable to give the
bank the time he wished. He has made an able and efficient president and has
left nothing undone to make a success of the Citizens Bank and his resignation
was regretfully received.

The following officers were elected:
L.E. Thomas of Shreveport, President: I. Raphiel Vice President; C.E.
Redhimer, Cashier; L.E. Thomas, M.M. Fischer, T.K. Giddens, F.G. Gallaspy,
C.E. Redhimer, J.R. Weaver, W.H. Huchabay, and I. Raphiel, Directors
