Bank Craze.

There seems to be another general
craze to establish banks, and the ques-
ton is now being asked whether there
are not as many such institutions as
the legitimate demands of business
require. For the past three years the
number of banks has steadily multi
piled. During the month of August
now closing the Governor has APPROX
ed charters for five new banks, and
many others are organizing. An
nouncement is just made of the or
ganization of a new bank in Brandon,
with capital of $4,000. This will
make six for the month of August.
The others are Greenville Savings
Bank and Trust Company, capital
$4,000; Bank of Mathiston, capital
$4,000; Bank of Pachuta, capital
$4,000; Bank of Commerce, Natchez,
capital $4,000; Peoples Bank OF
Hattiesburg, capital $4,000.

manner of the Memphis Health Off
GERS about this matter. From what
myself have seen and the further as
surance of DR.. Heber Jones, president

associates that there is no yellow fever
in the City of Memphis, I will accept
their statement as true and the Mis-
sissippi State Board Of Health will not
