HOW STRANGE,
HOW STRANGE!

There is a revolution in progress
among the people of the United
States on account of the high prices
of the necessaries of life, and boycotts
have been instituted in many large
cities. Yet how strange it is that peo-
pie who want and need pianos, and
really intend buying pianos, hesitate
to purchase when fine instruments
are offered at cut prices, lower per-
haps than has ever been known in
the city Of Hattiesburg. The remod-
cling sale of E. E. Forbes Piano Co.,
at their new store, Pine St., west of
Main, is where this price-cutting is
taking place. Anyone who wants a
piano, and doesn't investigate prices
at this sale, is assuredly most unwise
Only small cash payment required
balance on easy payments.

Representative Yates has intro.
duced bill providing for the calling
of constitutions convention. Mr..
Yates is one OF the South Mississippi
legislators and he is but seeking to
incorporate into the law the wishes of
his constituency with reference to in
creasing representation in the legis.

Mississippi's complaint would be

SURE SIGN OF PROSPERITY.

With deposits of $1,343,37OO3, as
shown by statement published in this
issue Of The News, the First National
Bank of Commerce makes the largest
deposit showing ever placed before
the public by this institution.
In August, 1908 The First National
Bank Of Hattiesburg and The National
Bank Of Commerce were merged. That
was eighteen months ago. The panic
was on in full force and the banks
were making an uphill fight of it, but
were pursuing the broad policy that the
future welfare of the banks depended
on the welfare of the industrial and
mercantile enterprises of the town,
and that these enterprises, struggling
through the hard times. must be
nursed and fostered and given as
great financial assistance as good

The unusual feature is that the old
stockholders of the institution have
determined that all the depositors
and other creditors shall be paid 100
cents on the dollar, even at the sacri-
fee of their old stock, and to sub
scribe new stock and solicit others
to do SO, to an amount sufficient to
place the institution on a sound basis
and to maintain it's integrity in the
community.
Practically all of the stock in the
institution is owned by Louisville and
Winston county people, and nearly
200 shares of the stock has already
consented to the reorganization, not
withstanding the auditor who was
placed in charge has not yet complet-
ed his work of checking up the books,
and the stockholders know practically
nothing about the financial condition
of it.

The wisdom of this course has been
demonstrated. The great majority of
the enterprises of the town have
reached sound footing and are able
to stand alone to large extent. To
the banks belong the credit-and now
that the hard fight is over and the
banks have reached that point where
they are really looking for invest

The National Bank of Commerce
has borne it's share in the fight pro-

a strain so great, the officers Of the
institution might well congratulate
themselves had they been able to
weather the storm without loss Of re-

should be their satisfaction when it Is
shown that the bank has not only
held its own but has gone forward,
step by step, to greater strength and
influence and usefulness, and today
has $30O,528.1S more deposits than
at the time the two banks were con-

News From the Tripod

twenty-five miles to pay their re
spects to the preachers reputation
for eloquence, he had taken special
pains to reprimand and offend them
His prompt explanation that he had
not known them was not accepted
with good grace. His belated attempt
to draw a line of distinction between
an excursion and a special car was
not a success.
But why should they feel offended
even if the preacher had been aware
of their identity?
And why should the preacher feel
called upon to explain?
Why aimlessly shoot sermons into
the air?
Why not aim right at the spot and
hit hard at the right time?
If Sunday excursions are wrong,
why not say so, knowingly and in
tentionally, to guilty ones caught in
the act?
Why should people go twenty-five
miles to hear distinguished preach.
er and then expect him to talk on the
sins of other people and not on
theirs?

going people want the minister to
scandalize the doings of other folk

their own cases?-Memphis News
