TO PAY DIVIDEND ON DEFUNCT BANK Clerk of the Circuit Court Sam M. Blake will go to Bessemer Monday to pay off the last dividend of the defunct Bessemer Savings bank. In order to save the depositors unnecessary trouble Mr. Blake will go to Bessemer and remain there all Monday rather than have the depositors come to Birmingham. The dividend runs from 1 cent up to good round sums. The payments will be made in the office of the receiver at Bessemer, George H. Stevenson.
