waters run still' when one con-
siders what a surprise the mar
riage of Mr.. Frank S. Percy is
to most of his friends and the
public in general. So quiet and
so attentive to business as he is
and not going much into society,
few dreamed his life choice al
ready made. But such was the
case. He was married Monday |
afternoon in New Orleans to
Miss Naomie Imelda Fisher of
that city. The wedding was a
quiet one at the family home, in
consOnance with their tastes,
and on the following day they
came up on the L. R. & N. train
to their home at Retreat planta-
ton, near Weyanoke post-office.
Mr.. Percy is a progressive
planter and country merchant,
and one of the very best citizens
and gentlemen the younger gen
GRAFTON is producing. Heis we'll
worthy the attractive and accom-
plished bride he has won, and
since to be a good son and
brother is the forecast of a good
husband, it can be safely assum-
ed that he will do his part to
wrest from the future, comfort
and happiness for his own.
The True Democrat extends
heartiest good wishes that he
may fully realize his every hope.
With the compliments of Mrs.
w. P. S. Ventress and Mrs.
George Argue of Woodville came

Bank Failures.

One mistake was made by the
State National Bank under Mr..
Adler. 1t tried to build too fast
it tried to play part in poll
tics for the influencing of de-
posits.
Go down the list of bank fail
ures in these United States and
you will find that those which fail
are the political banks; those that
make the greatest success are
built on the policy of extending
proper credits to all customers.
The bank that discounts the
notes of politicians because they
are supposed to pay their debts
with the deposits Of courts and
trust funds, of city or State, or
Federal government, must nee
essarily accumulate a wad of bad
paper. 1t may build over-fast,
but it's foundation is not secure.
