GOOD PROSPECTS FOR BANK.
Institution at MendenhalI Will Reopen
 After a Time.

Jackson Miss, December 23.-(Spe- cial.)-It Is reported here that the stockholders and directors of the Bank of Mendenhall, which closed it's doors Friday, have reached the conclusion it will be possible for the institution to worry along under the management of the receivers named, and that in course of time 1t will be able to resume busi- ness on substantial basis. President z. D. Davis of the Capital National bank of this city, who was an officer in the Mendenhall bank, has been there In conference with the president of the Whitney National bank of New Orleans and the understanding is that they came to the conclusion the bank might work out of it's present troubles with a little assistance. it's collaterals being good.
 One of the worst features of the sus- pension is that the Simpson county court house may be delayed in com pletion, as the bank was financing the work. Architect A. J. Bryan of New Orleans is another interested party who has visited the scene, but it is said he has been assured the board of super visors will make arrangements to carry on the work.
