In noticing the stockholders meeting
of the Farmers bank & Trust Co. last
| week we inadvertently omitted to men
ton the report made by the branch of
this excellent institution at Saltillo.
The statement submitted by the Saith
10 branch made a very fine showing in
deed and reflects much credit upon, Mr..
R. B. McNiel, yice-president and Leo
nard Wesson, the cashier. The stock
holders were much pleased with the
business that came through the Saltlllo
! branch.
We acknowledge receipt of an invl-
tation to be present at the marriage OF
their daughter, Miss Delphina, to DR..
Frank Gullette, from Mr.. and Mrs. N.
Eifler, of Austin, Texas, on the 18th OF
January, and regret that we could not
be present at the interesting occasion.
DR.. Gullette was reared in this county
and is a young gentleman that is in
every way worthy of the hand of the
accomplished young lady whose heart
he has 1t is gratifying to his
many friends in Mississippi to know
that in addition to his splendid success
in his profession he has embarked on
the sea of matrimony and has the
brightest prospects for a life of unal-
Logged happiness and success We ex-
tend our heartiest best wishes.
