CITIZENS BANK STILL CLOSED BECKLEY INSTITUTION SOLVENT, BUT CANNOT RAISE MONEY. The Citizen Bank of Beckley, which closed its doors Tuesday, is still in the hands of Commissioner Matthews. The bank had on deposit about $260,000 and in the effort to accommodate its customers its funds were loaned pretty close. A little run last week brought its available cash below the legal reserve and the cashier went to Richmond Sunday where he got enough cash, as he thought, to tide them over. Rumors of his absence got afloat, however, wild stories were circulat and on Monday the run was renewed. The directors are trying to arrange matters so that the bank may resume. The First National Bank had a small run, but it was able to meet it, and all danger is past so far as it is concerned. Its deposits amount to over $600,000, and it is regarded as one of the strongest institutions in the state.
