The Rankin County Bank had
it's annual election for directors
last Tuesday. All the present
board were reelected, and again
chose H. A. Busick as President.
and M. E. Ward Cashier, R. P.
Walters was elected assistant
cashier. The net earnings for
the year was 1917 per cent
which was passed to the surplus
fund. The management has the
confidence of it's patrons and
while the year past has been a
tight one in a business way it's
stockholders have received more
than a legal rate of interest would
have brought them, and a safer
investment than in almost any
other business would be.
Notwithstanding that there
has been a financial crisis in the
country, which is about over and
money is now moving. Cotton

will pay cash for cotton now, so

IN MEM0RIAM.

Miss Jessie Brantley, the de-
ceased daughter of Mr.. Jim
Brantley. was born Feb. 10, 1892,
and died at the home of her par
ents near Rosston, Arkansas,
the 18th day of April, 1908.
Jessie's suffering was beyond
human comprehension, yet she
bore it with great patience. 1t
is truly said that " death loves a
shining mark. " Those who
seem indispensable to the better
ment of the world, and whose
future seems full of promises,
whose life seems one glad song,
whose winning ways make
friends by the score, and binds
the chords of friendship closest,
are the first to go. She was
laid to rest in the Holly Springs
Cemetary. Rev. Jones conducted
the funeral services. We bow in
humble submission to the will
and judgment of our great Ruler
in removing our friend from her
labors here on earth. We realize
the fact that we have lost a true
and worthy friend, as a daughter
and a sister she is above re-
proach, none could have been
more faithful or more devoted
thon she. We are grieved to
know that her presence is gone,
and that her sweet voice is still
ed. but we should ever remem-
Der that our loss is her great
gain. Our heart felt sympathy
goout to the bereaved family and
in their loss of the loved one
who has gone on to await their
coming at the judgment bar of
God. Only a few minutes be-
fore she closed her eyes in death
she said that she felt better than
she ever did before. She has
gone to live with Jesus and with
| loved ones gone before, where
sickness cannot enter and sad
partings come no more.
One by one earth ties are broken,
AS we see one love decay,
And the hopes so fondly cherished.
Brighten but to pass away.

SEVENTH DISTRICT FIGHT.

The Seventh District Congress
ional contest has some very Pc
culiar features.
Mr.. Wallace and his friends
are claiming the nomination,
while Mr.. Goodwin claims that
there have been "high-handed
proceedings in denying him an
Office for which he received a
clean.cut majority.
1t is not a question, or should
not be, of committee rules or the
possession of a certificate of NOM
nation, but WHO GOT THE
MOST VOTES?
This is the only Democratic
way to settle it, the only way
that measures up to the standard
set by justice and party integ-
rity.
Vigorous charge and counter
charge are being made and the
outsider is not prepared to pass
judicial judgment upon the case.
As a principle, however, 40
committee should so far usurp
the powers of a convention as to
take from it the authority of de-
claring nomination.
While not charging either side
with Misrepresentation, it is
clearly evident that there is some
thing radically wrong in this
Seventh District situation that
must be adjusted if the party
would maintain its standing for
fair dealing. Arkansas Demo.

DEEP WATERWAYS PLANS.

BALTIMORE. Md, Nov. 17.-The
Atlantic Deep waterways association
which was formed for the purpose of
arousing public interest in the plan Of
constructing deep inland waterways
all the way from Boston to Key West
opened a three days session here to-
day. The attendance Is unusually
large and every state along the Allan
tic coast is represented, as well as
the gulf states and several other
states not contiguous to the sea or
any part of it. The principal matter
before the meeting is the discussion
of the plan suggested in a resolution
adopted by a meeting of the delegates
from the Atlantic seaboard states,
held in Philadelphia some time ago.
The plan recommended by the PhiIa-
deIphia conference contemplates the
opening of ship canals and deepening
of intervening rivers and approaches
from Norfolk, Va, southwark to Key
West, Fla, from Chesapeake bay to
Delaware bay, and from the Delaware
river to the Raritan river, and across
Cape Cod, alaas the lines approved by
congress as the most practical. 1t IS
proposed that the work shall be I'M
dertaken by the federal government
and that all the canals and waterways
shall be free. Many prominent men
are among the delegates and the list
of speakers includes Congressman ].
