MOST SUCCESSFUL CAREER
Grenada Bank Stands Pre.emi.
nent in Financial World.
ITS GROWTH STEADY AND SUBSTANTIAL
Five Per Cent Dividend Declared al
Semi-AnnuaI Meeting-Six Branch
Banking Houses.

The business of banking is old
and probably had it's origin at the
time of the deluge, for it was the dove
that brought the first green back
to Noah; and again we learn from the
good book that Pharaoh'S daughter
drew a little prophet" from the
rushes on the banks, while Moses him
self it was who gave Pharaoh check
on the Red Sea, which, by the way,
he could not pass. The business OF
banking in this advanced age, how
ever, is an altogether different propO-
sition, requiring careful management
and executive ability, sound and safe
investments, coupled with expert
enced financing and the confidence of
, the public.
among the numerous banks in the
State Grenada Bank is recognized as
one of the strongest institutions of its
character in Mississippi, and stand pre-
eminent in the financial world for its
integrity and business methods. Since
it's inception in 1890 it has enjoyed
most successful career, it's officers and
directors being held in the highest eS-
TEEN by all for their sterling business
qualifications and honesty. The Gre
NADIA Bank owns and controls six
branch banks in North Mississippi,
they being located at Ackerman, Eu-
pora, Louisville. Philadelphia, Bel
zoni and MoOrehead, the capital and
profits of which several concerns ag-
gregate more than 5000, 900. The
substantial growth of the institution
will doubtless be more fully appreci-
ated when it is known that when it
opened it's doors for business fourteen
years ago its capitalization was only
$50, 600, and that this amount has
been increased to $1,000
At the semi-annual meeting of the
board of directors, held on Tuesday,
after a careful and thorough examina-
ton of the banks business, divi-
dend of per cent was declared. De-
poSits showed an increase over last
year at the same time of SSS, 900,
while the total earnings showed an
increase of over 50, 900, (The dividends
paid by the bank during the last nine
years aggregate 1875 per cent-certain-
ly a most remarkable record
The Grenada Bank has been under
the same management since its incep-
ton, and it has proved itself most
capable. Messrs. ]. w. Grit1iS and j..
t. Thomas, cashier and president, re-
spectively, are considered to be eamong
the best experts on fnanciering in the
South, and to their knowledge, in a
large measure, is due the successful
career of the bank. G. W. Armstrong
is vice president, enjoys the reputation
of being a careful and conservative

COL. CAMERON LEAVES US.
Goes to Birmingham, Alabama. to Make
His Headquarters.

Col. FL. ID. Cameron, representing
the American Guild, fraternal in
surance society, and who during the
pas.a two years made his headquarters
in Grenada, has taken his departure
for Birmingham, Alabama, from
which place he will operate in the fu-
ture. 1t is with no inconsiderable
regret that the writer chronicles this
change of base, for in Col. Cameron he
recognizes that chivalrouS Southern
gentleman of ante bellum days Of
which the poets have always loved to
sing; a man of exceptional intelligence
with broad and liberal views on all
questions affecting the temporal or
spiritual well-being of the people; an
orthodox Democrat who possesses pro-
nounced opinions on all national is
sues, yet one who INDUCES not in
abuse of opposing party or partiSan: a
genial companion and Staunch friend;
and last, but by no means least, a
brave ex Confederate soldier who
fought amid a seething hell of shot
and shell for the upholding of cause
which he considered right and just.
During Col Cameron's residence in
Grenada he formed the acquaintance
of many of it's citizens, all of whom
regret his taking as sincerely as
does the writer. And that this friend
ship was mutual is evidenced by a
communication from the native Mis-
sissippian to the writer in which,
among other things he says:
''In leaving Grenada, made one of
the sacrifices of my life for business.
Poor, as I am, would rather be a
peddler in Grenada than a Prince in
most any other town. | have never
met a more liberal, congenial people
in my life, than / have in Grenada.
If / have any sins following me, hope
they will be attributed to my weak
ness and love of that dear people, than
to any purpose of wrong. Wherever |
90. and wherever my lot shall be
cast, and whatever may be my fual
wind up / shall always remember
Grenada kindly

Had the Japs been able tD effect d landing of more men. il Is believed that the result of the fight would have been different. There is report. ac- cOrding to the eastern cores SpOadents, that 1SO0 Japanese soldiers have been killed and some add that this is be- licvcd to mean the sinking Of a trans port loaded with troops intended for landing near Port Arthur with the body that did land aud met with such terrible reverse.
 The Japanese are said to have fought like demons in the face Of such over whelming numbers as they me on the shore. The regimental commander led his troops in person, dashing ahead into the very jaws of death. with drawn sabre, his men following him and cheering as they ran tO meet the horde of Coe,ackS that bore down upon them and cut them to pieces. \ cor respondent says that the little brown men did not seem iu the least tO lear death and that notwithstanding their small number ant overwhelming num- Der Oi Russians. they dashed ahead d. if confident of victory. It wd> either this or they preferred to die fighting to being taken prisoners, for not d man ceased fighting till he was either mOrtally wounded, killed or diSarmed. The small remnant Of prisoners and the large death list stand as mute testimony to their gallantry.
 A World special from Tokio says the government has official confirmation of the sinking of three out of four cruisers of the Russian Nladivostock squadron, which entered the Straits of Tsu Gdru to attack HakOlatc.
 They were blown up by mines in passing the straits; and another re- port is that they were blown up by torpedo boats.
 News from St Petersburg states tbHt the government admits th3t five war ships have been blown up ahd 700 Rus sian sailors killed through the stupidity Of the commander of the crusier Boyarin. which was blown up by it's own torpedo boats. Six hundred Rus sians were frozen to death while marching over the ice on lake Boika..
 The following losses nave been sus- tained up the l1th.
 Janau-Four warships and two merchant vessels.
 Russia-Sixteeu warships and 29 merchantmen.
 Japan's two new warships have ar rived at Yokohama.

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST. The Big Bear Getting Decidedly the
 Worst of the First Rounds.

Tho war between Japan and Russia is progressing aJ furious rate. Japan has surprised the world by her eni- cheney and ability, and many eminent authorities are already predicting that she will win lu the end.
 on the 10th instant the Russian shore batteries at Port Arthur by mis- take. sunk three ~ their owd torpedo vessels. The loss of life is appa,l- ir.Iy great The ships were entering the harbor just before daybrcak: and the boats either failed to give their signals or they were misunderstood by the officers oI the Qualifications.
 Simultaneously. the big guns at the batteries belched forth with an al most deafeniug roar. pouring shot and shell into the hips siihOuCtted against the dim light Of the dawn. Another fuSliade followed and the vessels ca reened and iOuuderCd in the sea. In a moment one of the vessels had caught fire and the scene was illumi- nated with the flames that leaped up- ward. Then it was that the com mauder of the shore batteries discov- cred his mistake for flying from the toumost pinnacle Of the burning ship wa- the flag Of his own country.
 The other two vessels were in the meantime sinking and the greater part of their crews had jumped into

the water; some with improviscd raits and life-prescrver>: others panic stricken, without any means to buoy themselves until succor came it is es timated that over eighty were killed by shells. II is impossible to estimate the number that lost their lives by the sinking of the ships.
 \ dispatch from London dated the l6th tells of another tremendous vic tory of Japan al Port Arthur. The news is received from Ticu T-iu. It says the battle occurred sunday, re- porting eight Russian vessels sunk and ten captured, only one being felt. This is not official, however.
 \ dispatch from St. Petersburg gives the following account of the battle. At half-pa-t eleven the Japanese squadron of fifteen vessels began the ombardmeut of Port Ar thur. Our squadron and for;re-ses re piled. The battle lasted for forty minutes. The Japanese squadron could not well withstand the first fire of our fleet, and particularly of our fort, and began a rapid retirement.
 The Japanese flagship was seriously damaged and according to the testi- muny of an eye witness, five other Japanese ships were considerably in- iured. Our losses were six men killed and forty-five wounded The bonn Oardment did no damage tO the town" '"
 The steamer Wenchow. arriving from Port Arthur at Chee Foo reports that eleven Russian ships were struck by shells in the engagement. The whole fleet was injured. The vessels were taken into the harbor of Port Arthur depending for protection on her forts, which had been reinforced The captain of the Weuchow says that eleven ships must be repaired be- fore Russia can take the aggressive on sea.
 Detailed reports are coming in from the last Port Arthur engagement and it seems that it was fought Wedues- day instead of Tuesday, the reports received being dispatches that were filed in the far east on that day, and the first news of the fight getting out tO the world.
 The battle seems to have been draw-the Russians suffered on the sea and the Japanese on land The Japanese fleet attacked the Russians cut the harbOr and at the same time landed soldiers to the north Of Port Arthur to attack the Russian Qualifications and city from the rear. The Japanese troops were anuihilated by the Russian cos socks.
 The landing was affected between Port Arthur and Dalny. It seems to have been the plan Of the Japs to laui at this point and attack the city and Qualifications Of Port Arthur from the rear, after the ships out in the harbor had engaged the Russians. the land at tack to immediately follow the sea fight. The Russians intercepted the laps, however. and soon overpowered them.

Short Supply.

The American Metal Market, of New States imports and exports of copper for the year 1903, concludes its report in saying that in view of the present rate Of exports, the stock Of copper on hand in the United States is consider ably less than two months require ments.' Following are the figures furnished by the American Metal Mar ket: The following figures are as nearly correct as it is possible to get them and gives Us fair estimate of the actual supplies for 1903, in long tons:

This leaves Us a surplus of ll.34O tons for the year 1903 and whatever stock was on hand d year ago. Estimating the stock on hand January l, 1903, at 6j, GOO tons, we had on hand January l, 1904, stock of 76,340 tons, which, at the present rate of export. is considers bly, less than two months requirements l..
