China where he would join Chong Fob
in making reed baskets and living off two

Liquor Troubles Of Other Counties.
Biloxi Herald.

oilO1l
There has been some talk about liquor
law violations on the Coast; theorists
build mental Utopias; officers talk OF
the inertia of the people, and the peo-
pie say it is up to the officers, and the
truth of the matter is that nobody OBJ
iects to getting little of the oh-be-
joyful now and then.
1t is interesting to note that Warren
county is having reform upheaval; a
circuit Judge has begged grand jury
to indict illicit liquor dealers; jack
son newspaper has laughed at the idea
of a conviction for the illicit sale of
liquor in Warren county, (which is in
vicksburg, and Vicksburg is law unto
itself, principality in its own right,
and is in favor of whisky selling by a
ratio of something like nine to one".
Doubtless the little wave of agitation
will soon be forgotten. Agitation of
such matters is bound to occur once in
a while, but it seems to us that the crux
of the matter is being overlooked.
Granted that whisky is the greatest
curse of man; the cause Of his divorce
ment from saints and angels; still we
maintain that law should be the crys-
tallization of the sentim ent of people,
and the sentiment of the people of sew
eral Mississippi counties is against pro-
hibition; therefore we say that local
option is the only fair and equitable
policy for the State of Mississippi.

MERCHANTS BANK
DECLARES DIVIDEND
OF Five Per Cent. For the
Past Six Months-Surplus
Reserve Now Exceeds the
Amount of Capital Stock
Annual Meeting For
Election of Officers to Be
Held January Il.

At the December meeting of the Mer-
chants Bank, held few evenings since
at the banking house of that institution,
the directors reviewed the years work
and found results that were extremely
gratifying, which will prove good news
to the stockholders and outside patrons
as we'll.
The net earnings for the year will on
December 81, from present figures OBJ
tainable, will exceed all previous years,
thus proving a record-breaker, for have
not the earnings of each year during
the seven years of the banks existence
broken the record of all previous years ?
The surplus now exceeds the capital,
doubling the cash value of each share
Of stock, besides net semi-annual
dividend of 5 per cent was ordered paid.
Dividend checks will be paid the
stockholders on January tst, forming
most acceptable New Years gift. The
Merchants Bank, ever since its organi-
zation, has paid to it's stockholders a
10 per cent. dividend, with liberal
share Of earnings passed to the surplus
fund, until row, as stated above, the
surplus has exceeded the capital. The
bank will, no doubt, pay to its stock
holders larger dividend than 10 per
cent. next year, thus investors will re-
ceive bigger returns from their money
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Merchants Bank will be held
on the evening Of Wednesday, January
IL, 1912, when a new Board of Direct
ors will be elected for the ensuing year.
Handsome calendars, for the friends
and patrons of the bank, have been re-
| ceived, and cards assigning each to the
public will shortly be mailed. Each
card will entitle the holder to a copy of
the calendar, with the compliments OF
the Merchants Renk.
The year t9i1Vwill GO down in the
history of the Merchants Bank as one
| of its most successful. It's management
has been along broad and liberal lines
consistent with good banking. and the
lions share of tho credit for the bank
success is due to the cashier, Geo. r.
Rea, who is untiring in his efforts,
which are at all times constructive.
Courteous to all, and man of ability
and of doing, he has the good will,
friendship and confidence of all with
whom he has dealings and comes in
contact.
The success of our local banks must
necessarily mirror the growth and ad-
vancement of Bay ST. Louis.
