Greenville and purchased fine Colt s
pistol and farming implements, and
ordered the goods shipped to Cotton

then purchase, signing the name of
I. c. Baird to The paper. Later the
young( man went to the bookkeeper
and gHve another check, with the
same name attached, for $40. He
aroused the suspicious of the cashier,
who, upon inquiry, found he was T.
C. Baird. Marshal Hebron was sum-
moned, and the ySspg man arrested.

Claims for Tax Refunds.

The attorney generals Office has
been very busily engaged examining
and approving claims for refunds on
account Of erroneous tax payents In
% the state treasury and where prop
erty has been enormously sold for
taxes.
| The legislature has made an appro-
nriation Of $4,000 for the next two
years to be used in making these re-
funds, and Immediately after the pas
aage of the act the claims commenced
80 pile in the auditors and land COM
nissioners office. Claims on errone-
Gus land sales are paid by the land
commissioner, with the approval Of
the attorney general, while tax pay
ments wrongfully made are refunded
through the auditors office, with the
attorney generals approval. All Of
these claims are given very careful
scrutiny before authorization is made
and the batch thus far received by
the attorney general is very much
larger than usual.

Bank Merger.

Plans are being discussed for the
consolidation Of three of the largest
banking institutions of Jackson, and
the formation thereby of new bank
with a capital stock Of $1,000,0CO.
I The matter has not yet assumed q
firmative shape, but it is being quite
generally discussed among the officers,
directors and stock holders Of the
three institutions and it is not i'm
probable that it will ultimately be
brought about.
Consideration of the matter has been
in progress for the past ten days, and
in many quarters it is viewed with
much favor. Its accomplishment,
however, if eventually brought about,
will require several months, for it
would be impossible to consummate
such a deal within short time, ow-
ing to the numerous details involved,
the liquidation Of the affairs Of the
three institutions involved, the selec,
ton Of new officers, etc.
