JONESBOROBANKING ANDTRUSTC Co
Annual Meeting of the Stockholders
and Directors.

The sixth annual meeting of the
stockholders of the JonesIoro Banking
and Trust Company was held Tuesday
i'll the bank building. The meeting
was largely attended. The reports of
the officers showed the bank to be
i'll a most prosperous ard lourishing
condition, owing to the careful and con-
servative methods of its efficient board
of directors and officers, who are all
men of fine business ability. The old
board of directors were re elected
Messrs. j. d. Cox, L. A. Shipley, w. &.
Mathes, j. S. Mathes, s.. j. kirkpatrick,
M. 5. Elsea, |. f. Reeves, A. p. Mathes,
c. H. Diehl, A. S. n. Dobson, E. H.
Bachman, with the addition of j. w.
Hoss and VIM. E. Bullock, of the En-
breeville Company. A s%emi-annual
dividend of five per cent. was declared,
and the balance of the net earnings
were added to the reserve fund. A
committee composed of A. S. N. Dob
son, f. Ii. Bachman and j. w. Hoss
was appointed for the purpose of con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY and feasibility
of increasing the capital stock of the
bank to So 900 or 800, 900, and to re-
port at a future meeting the method to
be employed, if they decide to recon-
mend such action. The stockholders
were unanimous in the opinion that
the stock should be increased, and it
will in all probability be done in the
neal future.
After the stockholders meeting adj
journed the directors met and re elected
The old board of officers, consisting of
j. ID. Cox, president w. G.. Mathes,
vice president K. A. Shipley, cashier {;
I. j. Peoples, asst. cashier S. j. Kirk
patrick, attorney. This is one of the
Oldest banks in the county, and has
been eminently successful in all lis en-
terprises. Both stockholders and de-
positors are very much pleased with
the conductO of the bank, and everything
points to still greater results in the flu
ture. AT the close of the meeting the
board of directors and stockholders
were entertained by the officers of the
bank at a sumptuous dinner at the
JOnesboro Inn.

FALL BRANCH.

A few days ago our town was visited
by a very expert ventriloquist and ac-
tor in l~egerdemain, and gave satisfac-
ton to those who were present. He
caused some excitement among the
young folks, particularly the ladies, as
which should win the prize for beauty,
The honor fell to Miss Bette Draper.
In addition to the entertainment he de-
livered n temperance lecture, which
was the browning excellence of the ex-
e~rcises.
Mrs. Tom Keeper, of Limestone, is
visiting relatives and friends in this
place,
A, D. Wexler was in Jonesboro Mon
day on business.
Miss Opie Sherfey returned from
Hawkins County last Friday, She re-
ports a nice visit.
Miss Sallie Duncan, of Meadowbrook,
is visiting in town this week.
George Davis, of Greene County, was
in town last Wednesday on business.
Miss Fannie Seaver went over to
Hawkins last Friday to spend a while
with her brother.
Some of u young folks had better
be more careful with their letters or
we might find out who their sweet
hearts are. We only give a few hints.
Several drummers have been in town
during the past two weeks.
Some of u girls concluded they
would go fishing a few days ago, but
their fishing has been very dear to
some of them, as they have been laid
up with sore throats. Girls, when you
go fishing you should keep out of the
water.
Doctors Britton and Kinchelo, of
Hawkins, passed through our town last
Wednesday.
Miss Rowie Sherfey spent last Satur-
day and Sunday with relatives at Har-
mony.
A. L. Morgan went to Jonesboro last
Monday on business.

Just now the Democratic editors are
reading the riot act to Democratic Con-
gressmen for the disposition they show
to spend the peoples money. Whatdo
Democratic editors expect What is
the use of talking about promises of re-
trenchment and reform? Say the Dem
ocratic candidates did promise to cut
down expenses and were elected on those
promises. Don't Democratic editors
know that such promises apply only to
the expenditures in other districts?
Don't they know the finest way in the
world for a Democratic Congressman
TO get solid with his constituents is to
tell them, when he is running, how
much of the Governments money he
will a V for them, and when he is
elected how much of it he will spend
for them? If they don't, they ought to.
Take the present Congress for instance.
A majority composed largely of men
who were never in Congress before,
with records to make, whatmore could
be expected of them than that they
should show their love for the people
who elected them than by securing
large slices from the Government pie
for the districts which heretofore had
gone hungry because their Representa-
tives had been neglectful or stingy?
Nothing. So when it came to voting
appropriations, these amateurs atlegis-
lation took counsel together and agreed
among themselves that Podunk should
have something and Bungtown should
have something and Slimville should
have something, and the way to get it
was for each to scratch the others back
and get it. They are bound to have it,
too, for the most OF them want to com
back, and money talks-particularly
Government money. Mr.. Holman may
yell a lung loose and weep a tubful of
tears-over appropriations for other dis
tricts than his own-but the Democrats
are needing the cash and they are going
to have it, even if they have to make a
Trillion Congress to get it. Nothing
can check it except a Republican Con-
gress.

LAST Saturday Hon. James G. Blaine
rendered his resignation as o member
of President Harrison's Cabinet, and
it was accepted. 1t is needless to spec
ulate upon the probable reasons for SO
important a step; but, Judging from
the readiness with which the President
concurred in Mr.. Blaine's desire that
official relations between them should
cease, there was an unpleasant state of
affairs the knowledge of which was
not generally known. 1t has been pref
ty generally known for some time that
a degree of jealousy had been stirred
up between the President and his Sec
rotary of State, for which perhaps that
modern and expensive luxury known
rs fool friends" is largely responsible,
over the adjustment of the Boring Sea
matter. Then, too, it is held that one
of the distinguished parties feels that
due credit for the plan of reciprocal
trade has not been properly placed.
Whatever causes may have led up to
the act may not be known, but James
Il. Blaine is to day a plain, untitled
citizen of the Republic. How long he
shall remain SO time will tell.

the shells fell into the water with n
half Il dozen feet of the schooner. The
explosion was terrific and drove vol
umes of water and fragments of the
shell over the vessels decks. One of
the schooner's sailors Immediately ran
up the American colors to her mast
head. The course of the shells was at
once changed so as to bring that vessels
out of range.
The American flag, it may be seen ,
was promptly respected by the revolu-
tionists. They concluded, without any

ness sake let us try and elect for once

Legislature was a travesty upon alegis-
lative body of which the whole State is
heartily ashamed. Yet it was about as

Immediately preceded it, and hal is

In each Legislature there were some

We have been having plenty of rain
the past week, and some of our farmers
fear that it is detrimental to the wheat,
while Others say it is producing grass
too fast in their corn.
Samuel Kinchelo received his new
saw mill last week and is now doing a
good business.
We are glad to note that our genial
friend, Frank Lyon, MD. is back at
Locust Mt, ready to minister medicine
to those who need it.
r. G. Hartman was through this sec
ton Saturday.

Harry Haws, of Jonesboro, passed

though it has been rumored that some
little dissatisfaction has existed in re-
gard to Hawkins for Sheriff, but we

As our side of the county has no one in

If nominated, would meet the approval
of all the Republican voters of this sec
ton, and that is Calvin r. Jones. He
is well known to the voters of the
countyas a good Republican and citizen
in every respect. We earnestly solicit
Mr.. Jones to come to the front.

Foreign Jealousy of Our Navy.

The announcement that hereafter
American naval architects will not be
permitted to visit foreign dockyards in
which war ships are built is an indica-
ton that European governments recog-
nize the growing might of the United
States as a naval power. SO long as
we had no navy of W and made
no effort to build any, American naval
officers were freely allowed to inspect
the shipyards of France and England.
Now, however, a different state of af-
fairs exist, and the naval authorities of
these countries are evidently anxious
to keep the United States from learning
secrets connected with the latest i'm
provements in the implements of ocean
warfare. .
Fortunately there is no longer need
for III naval constructors to take les
SON abroad. The Republican policy
of developing the plants needed for the
manufacture of guns and armor and
the building of the finest ships afloat,
has resulted not only in giving us the
beginning of a superb navy, but in ed
ucating a number of the most expert
naval designers and constructors in the
world. Americans do not need to go
to foreigners for instruction in the
science of ship building, They can
learn how to create the most formid-
able war ships from domestic material
here at home.

How would this look as an epitaph
on the tomb of the defunct Mckinley
prices liar: The largest dry goods job
bling house in New York reports that
all kinds of goods sold in the domestic
department, which embraces tickings,
denims, stripes, blue and brown, shirt
ings, cambria, cotton flannels, corset,
jeans, checks and many other classes of
goods in common use, were selling on
January 25 at an average of 9.51 per
cent. lower in price than in January,
1890, bfore the Mckinley law passed.
Printed calicoes of all kinds, including
shirtings, indigoes, turkey reds and
similar fabrics, also ginghams, averaged
lit per cent. less in January last than
in January before the enactment of
the Mckinley tariff. That is how the
new law has taxed the clothing of the
poor.

Sugar Bounty in the South.

Relying upon the continuance of the

the Mckinley law, the cane growers
have planted a large acreage, and by
the adoption of the most approved ma.
chinery they will make a serious effort
to greatly develop the production of SUI.
gar. Realizing that the bounty is not
only likely to build up the cane indus
dustry, but establish a very profitable
beet sugar industry as well, the Lower
House of Congress seems to be less dis
posed to attack the bounty clause,
while, as long as the Senate remains
in Republican hands it is not probable
that a change in one of the essential
features of the Mckinley act will be
permitted.-New Orleans Picayune.
The New Orleans Picayune is ordi-
narily q strong tariff reform newspa-
per, staunch in its allegiance to the
Dmocratic party and to Democratic
leaders. Yet here we have it calmly
asserting that it relies upon the votes
of Republican protectionists in the
United States Senate for the c%ontinu-
nee of the sugar bounty, which the
Picayune, despite its tariff reform lean
ings, has always favored. And this
paper will probably go on supporting,
and the State of Louisiana go on elect
ing, representatives to Congress and the
Senate pledged to the abolition of our
tariff system. Economist.

THE Republican National Convention
is now in session in Minneapolis. The
attendance is something remarkable.
President Harrison's friends are pres
ent in force, and previous to the an
nouncement of Blaine's resignation,
were very sanguine of the result. The
friends of Blaine were perhaps less de-
monstrative but full of vigor and de-
termination, feeling that they repre-
sented THE PEOPLE, and that their lead
or was the undoubted choice of the
great mass of the Republicans of the
country, and when the report of the
resignation was heard it added fuel to
the s%mouldering fires that burst forth on
every side, and the fact was soon dis
closed that many supposed Harrison
delegates only hesitated to learn that
Mr.. Blaine would be put in nomination
before declaring for him. The fight is
on, the lines are being drawn, and
while a single ballot may determine, it
may be a prolonged contest. We shall
await patiently the result, and hold our
columns open to the last moment that
the action of the convention may be
given to our readers at the earliest pos
sible moment.
WEDNEsDAY-In the temporary Or
ganization the Blaine men were victo-
riOus, electing j. S. Fassett, of New
York, Chairman. An unexpected turn
was given to the compexion of the Ten
nessee delegation in the selection of A.
M. Hughes, jr., the candidate of the
