NEWPORT
THE NEWPORT BANKING CO. We are informed that a considerable
quantity of the bills of this institution are coming into the city for
collection, Gilmore & Co had a lot on Monday, which were redeemed on
presentation.
Yesterday Mr. Cook of the City Bank, which by the way, only allows its messenger to make collections of this kind for the accommodation of one or two Northern Banks, and as a matter of courtesy, made a second visit to the Institution yesterday with some $400 of its notes, which were promptly redeemed, while Mr. Cook himself was treated with the most flattering attention. The Sheriff of Campbell County gave him a wide berth, and he returned to this died unmolested, as a free born Briton should.
