Total deposits at the Citizens State Bank of Scobey at year’s end were at a record- breaking high mark of more than 4 1/4 million dollars. Cashier P. B. Murphy stated its deposits have increased $400,000 since the first of the year.

Flaxville’s bank, according to J. J. Goehring, shows deposits up about $200,000 since the first of the year with deposits in a single day running as high as $60,000.
