BRANDON'S NEW BANK.

Jackson News: Word reaches here
from Brandon that a movement is on
foot to establish new bank at that
place, and practically all the stock
has been subscribed. The institution
will be capitalized at $40, 900, and will
begin business as soon as the charter
is approved by the governor. A num-
Der of we'll known gentlemen are
behind the enterprise, among them
being DR.. P. P. Walker, H. A. Bu-
sick, Dr.. B. Berry, M. E. Ward, W.
B. Collier and G.. W. White.
-Four years ago nearly all the bank
ing business of Brandon was handled
through jackson, and duller town,
from business standpoint, could
hardly be imagined. A banking in
stitution was launched by Hon. s..
L. McLaurin, and has met with re-
markable success, declaring large div
idends each year, and substantial
business and commercial growth has
been shown by the community.
The growth of the banking industry
in Mississippi during the east few
years is a never ceasing marvel.
Since the first of January Of the
present year more than $4,000, 900
has been invested in the capital
stocK of new banking institutions in
the state, and a week rarely passes
that the charters Of three or four
new banks are not presented to the
governor for approval.

THE ORATORICAL CONTEST.

The Rankin county oratorical con-
test at johnson Hall Saturday, August
26, was success.
The appointment Of an executive
committee having been omitted by
the association, the contest was
managed by Prof. J. R. East j. I.
Covington and Supt. S. r. Myers.
At 1920 O'Clock Prof. Covington
called the house to order and announc-
ed that Rev. J. S. Purcell, Col. VIM !.
Walker and Miss Kate May had been
selected judges, and that they would
render their decision as soon after ad-
journment as possible. After a
fervent prayer offered by Rev. Mr..
Purcell, the program was taken up,
the first recitation being by Miss An
ME Patrick, the second by Miss
Georgia Baker and the third by Miss
Kate Steen, which completed the
program for the morning, there being
only three contestants.
Dinner was spread and everybody
given cordial invitation to partake.
In the afternoon declamations were
made by John Cunningham, Wylie
Alliston, Cole Burns, Wade Patrick,
Willis Pope, jr., and Mr.. Williams.
All Of the boys and girls did ex-
ceedingly we'll, and it was not an easy
matter for the judges to make their
decision. In fact, all three differed
as to who were entitled to the medals
A decision had to be made, however,
as they could not agree to disagree
Finally the following decisions were
made and Col. Walker, in few
choice words delivered the medals to
Miss Annie Patrick and Cole Burns.
The program was interpreted with
violin music faultlessly rendered by
John Pierce, John Cooper and Roy
Myers.
The day was greatly enjoyed by all
present, and the only regret was that
there was not a medal for all of the
contestants.

QUARANTINE TIGHTENED

Immediately upon official recent
OF the news Of the existence Of yellow
FEVER at Vicksburg our board Of mavor
ana aldeamen held meeting and de.
clared strict quarantine against
every point outside Of Rankin county.
Allowing no one to enter the town
from another county without special
permit from the Mayor. Senator A.
:. McLaurln, Maj. Pat Henry and W
>. May were appointed committee to
take charge of and supervise a volun.
tary guard to enforce the ordinance
provided 1T becomes necessary. At
present H. L. McCaskill has charge Of
the situation, and lis succeeding very
well in enforcing the law. A great
number Of people have arrived at the
depot with Brandon as their destina-
tion, but none Of them have been Der.
mltted to enter.
The situation is grave one and de-
mands the hearty support of every
man, woman and child in the town.
We must keep the fever out of Bran
don it possible, and the only way to
DO 1t is to go to work before it is too
late.
The board also passed curfew law,
requiring that the streets be clear by
$50 O'Clock every night, no exceptions
except physicians, druggists and par
ties either for medicines or doctor.
The board is taking every precau
ton and with the hearty cooperation
OF the citizens there is no doubt but
what we will avert the yellow
scourage.
Following are the proceedings Of
the board:
On motion it was ordered that the
masonic hall bell be sounded at half past
eight o'clock every night, and after that
time all citizens repair to their homes and
that no person be allowed on the streets,
except physicians, druggists and persons
gong Tor physicians or medicines or on
other. very urgent business, and the
marshall or other quarantine officers.
1t IS further ordered by the board that,
owing to the existence of yellow fever in
Vioksburg and other points in the state,
no person or persons, living outside of
RANKIN county, be permitted to enter the
town of Brandon, without special per-
init from the mayor of said town.
VOLUNTEER GUARDS CALLED
FOR AND COMMITTEE APPOINT.
ED.
Owing to the fact that there is not
sufficient funds in the Treasury to paw
quarantine guards from now until the
danger of yellow fever is over, the board
deems it advisable to call for volunteer
guards and senator A. j. McLaurin, Mai.
P. Henry and Wayne S. May be and are
hereby appointed a committee to take
charge of said volunteer guards and to do
and act as they think best for the safety
of the town.

TRIBUTE TO CHAs. McLAURIN

TRIBUTE TO CHAS. McLAURIN.
Chas. McLaurin was born in 1851,
and died August 10, 1905. He was
reared, and lived most of his life here
in Fannin. There is little need for
the writer to tell who he was, for his
family is one of Mississippi's land
marks. The name McLaurin is knoW n
far and near and his tragical death
has brought sorrow to many homes.
We know, and try to feel that God
does best in all things-but oh when
we see our loved ones tori away in an
awful tragedy like this, our hearts
seem paralyzed.
In 1878 Mr.. McLaurin was married
to Miss Dora Hoy, and never did man
lead to the altar purer, sweeter,
more amlable girl than she, and one
who proved truer to every trust. For
twenty seven long years she has been
his faithful wife, and while he had
has faults, he loved her, and she and
her four girls will miss his care and
protection. May they blot from their
memory every bitter thought, and
know, and realize, that Gods hand
struck the cruel blow, and that He
will not leave them comfortless.
From the depths Of our aching heart
we offer them our sympathy.
A FRIEND.
