Description

OCR text is heavily corrupted but contains phrase indicating the First National Bank, Gainesville, was entirely suspended. No explicit mention of a depositor run or of permanent failure or receivership in the provided excerpt. I therefore classify as a suspension with no reported run and (uncertain) likely temporary suspension; selected suspension_reopening as the most plausible category. Date taken from the newspaper publication (1888-10-21).
