The Virginia and Mami Center Ball Wednesday and threshed the first job| State Bank Department Short. Jeffersan Ctty, Aug. 17.—It seems well settled that there is going to be a serious deficit in the state banking department. State Bank Commis- ‘sioner John E. Swanger said that he , estimated the fees will be $20,000 to $25,000 short of maintaining the de- partment until the close of next year. Mr. Swanger will call in all the eight bank examiners for a conference with Governor Hadley to see if some means can be devised for supporting the department until after the next legislature meets. The last legisla- ture failed to pass a law increasing the fees, and there is no other source from which the office can be support- ed. The only remedy in sight is for the employees to make arrangements with some bank to discount their salaries and expenses, and this may prove pretty costly. i Real Estate Transfers. | Warranty Deeds. | Hiram Vail to Wallace Ferrell west 1-2 lot 10 blk 64 Rich Hill $200.
