Last Monday, Jan. 10, was another
one of the eventful days in the his
tory of Grenada Bank. The annual
gathering of the various officers, dir
ectorS, managers, friends and patrons
Of this well-known institution is
somewhat typical OF the pilgrimageS
of the ancient Hebrews to their sac
red city where they expected spiritual
reiuvenation. 1t was a feast time,
yet the more important duties of the
gathering held predominance in the
minds of all who were within the
confines of the holy city.
So it wonld seem with these annual
bank convocations. All appeared to be
in mlrthful frame or mind, yet the
important duties for which they came
together were met with exact and dis
tlnct minutenesS. 1t was an excellent
group of men. The face Of each one
betokened sturdy habits, rugged hon.
esty and an industrious and aSSiduouS
devotion to duty. President Thomas
is to be congratulated on having laid
his han4s on SO much excellent bank
material. The affairs Of the parent
bank as we'll as the thirteen branch
banks were all passed Under critical
review Conditions met the most ex
uberant expectations Of the stockhol-
ders. All the old officers and direct
ors were reelected. A semi annual
dividend Of per cent was declared
besides handsome amount was pass
ed to the already large surplus &C.

that the Grenada Bank is about the
third largest banking institution in
the state. After the days routine

The MOB CARRIED
ON TRAIN
Causes Suit By Widow
Against Railroad.
She Asks Fifty Thousand
Dollars Damages.

Says the VickSburg Post: A very
interesting case, the first of it's char
acter ever heard in the Uniteo States
was to have been tried at the present
term of the Federal court here, but
this morning it was postponed to the
July term.
The case is that Of Mrs. Annie
May Rogers against the VIckSburg,
Shreveport and Pacific railroad in
which the plaintiff asks for $50, ,c0e
damages because the defendant COM
pany transported mob which hung
husband Of plaintiff.
The unavoidable absence of a rail-
road station agent was the cause for a
| continuance. Mrs. Rogers and three
little children were in attendance.
| Her husband was lynched in Tallu-
! lab, La, in 1906 for the alleged kill
ing of a merchant named Brown, in
Girard, La.
1t is claimed that DR.. Frank \.
| Brown was the inStigator of the mob
which took Rogers life.
Rogers and brother Of DR.. Brown
were rival merchants in the town OF
Girard. Brown was killed and some
suspicion fell on Rogers. Rogers was
indicted, convicted. and the case was
carried to the supreme court. The
high tribunal reversed the case and
granted change of venue, sending
the case to Madison parish Tor the
second hearing.
At the second trial Of the case a
jury had been secured and all the evi.
dence had been submitted when the
trial judge received message that
two of his children had been poisoned.
The judge was called to his home
where one of his poisoned children
subsequently died. The Judge order
ed the jury discharged and the trial
came to an end.
The prisoner contended that he
had already been placed in jeopardy
ard that he was entitled TO be set
free.
Before this matter was settled, and
while Rogers was still in jail at Tai
lulah. DR.. Brown charted V. S. s.
P. special train to run from Monroe
to Delta. Part of the mob boarded
the train at Monroe and additions
were picked up at Girard aud Ray
vile, and when Tallulah was reached
the mob debarkcd and hanged Rog-
ers.
The widow claims in her declara-
tiOn that had the railroad com~
pany not furnished the train to the
mob the lynching could not have
taken place and damages in the sum
of $50, 600 are asked.

TWO COLORED CITIZENS
Gum StinsOn one, and Silas
Ransom Other

Among the good colored citizens of
Grenada county the Sentinel desires
to make mention Of old Uncle Gum
Stinsor, loy 10 years ole, who lives
about four miles from Grenada on the
Graysport road. He was born in Tai
bert county Georgia and came to Mis-
Sissippi in company with Mr. Sam
Elliott in 1856. He followed the
d. inies of the "Stars and Rars" for
fonr years as valet to his your g
master. Uncle Gum has proSpered
financially. He owns almost thsus-
and acres Of land unincumbered and
is Of the opinion that the negro who
applies himself industriously 10 Mis-
siSsippi will accumulate competency.
Another negro, however q much
younger one, that is worthy Of mem
tion is Silas Ransom, now mail car
rier ia the town tf Greenwood. Silas
was raised in this county and has
considerable property interest here
being son-in-law, Of Sam Smith,
&c ,ea. ed. Silas bought out the other
heirs of Sam Smith. He is a negro
far above the ordinary in in
tellieeDce. He says that the
pa.t few years have taught him a
great deal about the white people.
He states that the white people ac-
cord to the negro his dues, and that
if the negro does not succeed financi-
ally it is his own fault. Grenada
county has number CT worthy, re-
liable colored citizens in her midst.

After eight centuries Of Angliciza-

largely predominant in the island. In
his work dealing with Irish surnames,
Sir Robert Matteson says: "Of the
hundred more prominent surnames in
Ireland the percentage, according to
race, is as follows: Purely Irish, rs;
Celtic, other than purely Irish, 10; old
Norman Irish, 5; English, 8; uncer-
tain origin, A." That speaks volumes
for the virility and fecundity Of the
Irish people and their power of alb
sorption. Such a race never dies
When the paragrapher of this column
visited Youghall some years ago, he
found to his surprise that all the names
on signboards over the shops of the
old town were Enthusiastically Irish OF
the old stock. The names of the op-
pressors of the people in wars and
sieges, tc which Youghall had been
subjected; were conspicuously absent
and forgotten except in the local an
nails. Any other race than the Irish
would have been utterly destroyed in
the course of ages.
