Critical Situation.

Mississippi's drouth continues to
increase in seriousness, and the sit
uation has now assumed very crit
ical phase.
More than forty days have now
passed without rain. The drouth
area covers practically the entire
State; only a few communities hav-
ing been favored with light showers
during the period.
The weekly report Of the weather
bureau issued April 20, while con-
servative in tone, takes a very dis
couraging view Of the outlook for
the farmers, and unless there is a
general rainfall within the present
week all crops will be from six weeks
to two months late.
In places where corn has sprout-
ed the stands are being rapidly
thinned out by the dry winds, and
nearly all vegetation is wearing a
sickly appearance. The fruit crop
is being greatly damaged by the
young fruit dropping from the trees,
and the yield of peaches will be
even shorter than last year if pres
ent prospects continue.
Cotton planting is still being
pushed, but termination is impossi-
Bile under existing climatic condi-
tinns.

At the meeting of the capitol COM
mission, TO be held on the first
Thursday in May, p, A. McGrath. a
well known citizen of Clarksdale,
will apply for the privilege of lead.
ing the parade on the occasion OF
the laying Of the cornerstone on the
Srd of June, with his bald eagle.
The eagle is said TO be one of the
largest in captivity, and would
doubtless attract much attention in
the parade.
1t is the intention of the commits
sion to provide special carriages for
the persons who are now living who
witnessed the laying of the corner
stone of the old State house in 1889,
eight of whom have been located.
On the night Of the grand ball
and reception to be held in the new
capitol building the various apart
ments viii be profusely decorated by
the contractors, Messrs. Wells n

sand dollars on flowers and deeora-
tive effects.

New Name desired.

The Pearl & Leaf Rivers Railroad
Company will shortly make applica-
ton to the railroad commission for
permission to change IFS corporate
name TO the Mississippi Central
Railroad Company" The present
name is found TO be entirely too To-
cal for the rapidly extending little
road, and a name more in conformi-
ty with its new dignity is desired.
The road now runs from Hatties-
burg, in Perry county, northward to
Blountyille, in Lawrence county,
and its ultimate purpose is to push
Oh to Monticello and thence to
Natchez.

Mississippi State News


Auditor Cole issued the statement
Of the standing of the State banks
In Mississippi, which makes a most
phenomenal showing. The figures
are simply amazing, and taken in
connection with the recent figures
prepared and given out by Secretary
of State Power make a wonderful
industrial showing that will prob
ably not be equaled in the country.
According to the statement pre-
pared by Mr.. Cole there is an in
crease of twenty-nine banks over the
statement of last year. This in
crease oi twenty-nine Is without TAX
ing into account that one bank went
into liquidation, two others consol-
idated with other banks and three
State banks became national banks.
Perhaps the most extraordinary
item in the statement given out is
the increase in actual cash deposits
in the various banks. This item
shows that there is nearly S5,000,-
600 more money on deposit this year
than there was last year.
The increase in capital paid is
1891, ,504.62. The increase in sur
plus is $2,S5S.99.
The increase in assets over last
year is nearly seven millions.
The Capital State Bank of jack
son, one of the banks at Clarksdale
and one at Laurel became national
banks. The Biloxi Savings Bank
consolidated, and the Oakland Bank
of Tallahatchie consolidated with
the Charleston Bank. The Mer-
chants Bank of Grenada went into
liquidation. There are a total Of
1853 State banks now doing business.

large number Of funerals were held
in 81. Louis Sunday. due to the fact
