GRANGE NATIONAL BANKS. Grange National Bankere' Association of America Recently Organized. , Ou Oct. l'J u convention was hold at i "*Villiauisport, Pa„ which is the first j of its kind and deserves more than , casual attention. It was the meeting for the organization of what has been j styled as the Grange National Bank- j evs' Association of America. Its oh- , jeet Is to extend the system of grange j national banks which has been so sue- ! cessful in Pennsylvania to other states | in the Union where the grange is or- j ganlzed. There are now fourteen j grange banks in Pennsylvania, and they sent seventy-five representatives j to the Williamsport meeting. John 0. | Mr Henry of Beutou was elected presi- j dent of the association and K. It. I>or selt of Mansfield was elected secretary, j .Mr. McHeury said that thus far they j have in fourteen banks a total number • of.:.100 stockholders, 305 directors and ] otJicera, with sß6i!,<)oo of money in- j vc tod, aud iu every instance the hold- | hig control of these organizations lies ; entirely with grange Patrons. He also remarked that the movement is not antagonistic to other banking institu- ; tioiis, ami that this is true is shown j from the fact that while the deposits have exceeded their expectations yet j the older banks have likewise met with a continuous growth in deposits. This may seem strange, but It seems to indi cate. says the Financial Age, that the ! farming community had been averse to ' depositing money in banks and has j boon hoarding it in different places. . If the grange bank movement succeeds I In coaxing these funds from their hid- i ing places a benefit national in its 1 character will be accomplished.

The Grange National bank of Tioga j county, I'a., has been open seven j vnonths and carries deposits of over i 8)00,000. NATIONAL GRANGE.
