GRENADA TRUST & BANKING COMPANY
Most Gratifying Showing Made Splendid Body of
Men Directing.

The stock holders of the Grenada
t. ust & Banking Co. held their regu-
lar annual meeting Jan. II and found
that the bank had the most successful
and prosperous year since its organi-
zation in 1903. The number of deposi-
tors, amount of depoits and the profits
were all greater than in any preceding
year.
This bank has been one of the most
successful institutions organized il the
state. They have just passed their
eighth year and with dividend of II
per cent this year, will have paid the
stockholders 80 per cent on their hold
ngs, paid for the building and fixtures
and built up surplus account that
holds the price of the stock above two

The earnings of the bank for the
past Year We're % per cent net.
The bank has been doubly audited
each year, by the directors at their
month ly meetings and by Edward S.
Elliott a. Co., expert accountants of
Memphis, at the end of the yer, and
the business of the past year will be
done in a like manner.
The stockholders unanimously elected
the following directors to serve the
ensuing year: w. F. Martin, J. P.
Broadstreet, r. Doak, A. Gerard, Jno.
S. King, A. S. Bell, r. H. Stokes, J. j.
Hardy and Cowles Horton.
The directors elected the same Off
GERS, being w. F. Martin, president, J.
P. Broadstreet, vice president, and H.
j. Ray cashier.
For his capable management and
courteous manner in handling the
banks business, H. J. Ray, the cash
ier, was presented with a handsome
cut glass water set.
Regardless of how substantial and
how well managed banking institu-
ton may be, it is difficult to separate
business from the personal side of the
concern. In other words, it is the de-
pertinent and the worth of the indi-
vidual that makes for success in any
corporation or business organization. 1t
is the man or men behind a proposition
that causes the public to make their
estimate OF its safety, its honesty or
it's sincerity. The Grenada Trust &
Banking Co. has been wise in the Sc
lection of it's officers. w. F. Martin,
who has been president for several
years, is one of the county's most reli-
able and worthy citizens and is busi-
ness man that will do what he prom
ises. H. ]. Ray, the cashier, is direct

In the passing away of Mrs. A. P.
Sanders which occurred at her home in
this city on January II, there went to
the beyond the soul of a quiet. unos-
tentatious character, yet one trusting
in the promises of Risen Lord. She
was 79 years old She had been in a
low state of health for years, but dur
ing all this time she was steadfast in
her religious devotions. Her final i'll
ness was but brief, and those who are
left behind feel that her spirit now
basks in the sunshine of a heavenly
home. M

The FATHER OF EIGHT SONS is
A WATSON FRIEND.

Dear Sir and Friend: I have
been reader of your Jeffersonian
for two years and can truthfully say
that l like the paper better and ad-
mire you more all the time. Now,
Mr.. Watson, I'm only little fellow
down here in Arkansas and have
only eight boys, but the God of
Heaven being my judge, [ had
rather see them laid beneath the sod
of the valley than see them bow to
the dictates of that awful monster.
the Devil on earth, the Pope OF
Rome.
l hope you will come out of your
little trouble all right and be spared
many years yet to fight the good
light for the cause Of humanity that
you have begun; and will say right
here, if they make you pay a fine I'll
donate some to the payment of it.
Just give it to them, right and left.

seen marching under the banner OF
liberty, led by such men as Watson,
Clark, Underwood, Scarborough and
other distinguished men of this type.
Our own country and home are
being tfampled under the feet Of
Rome. 1t is no longer a question
about Rome ruling our United
States; the important question now
is, How shall we exterpate these
thieves and reclaim our liberty?
Mr.. Watson, we feel sure you are
able and willing to push and press
this movement suggested by Mr..
Scarborough; it is so essential in re-
deeming our God-given liberty, won
by our fathers to be handed down
to this generation, but alas, we are
robbed. Much honor and gratitude
to you for sounding the alarm and
fearlessly exposing the corrupt creed
of Rome.
In conclusion, let me remark, fear
less of any effort to contradict that
Rome successfully rules both the old
political parties.
Truly yours to the end,

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

night, and I heard many say that
they were very much disappointed
that your illness prevented your
going; they still have hopes of get
ting you to give them an appoint
ment in the near future, and no
doubt speech along the lines which
understand you were to speak
would open the eyes of many people
in the National City.
Governor Vardaman and Mr..
Flood, of Virginia, deserve much
credit for their defense of States
rights at Baltimore. Had Mr..
Bryan's attempt to GUST Ryan and
Belmont been accepted, States
rights would now be only fiction, as
far as the Democratic party is
concerned, and although other men
we're as bitterly opposed to Mr..
Bryan's attempt to dictate the affairs
of Virginia and New York, the ma
lority of the credit for the defeat of
that undemocratic resolution" goes
to Vardaman and Flood.
| trust that your recent illness
will not in any way impair your
health, and that you can succeed in
arousing the American people to the
fact that unless these Romanists are
stopped, and stopped now, America
will in the near future be thrown
into another French Revolution. -
Yours truly,
WILL H. STANFORD.

AMERICAN ASKS SOME
QUESTIONS.

Dear Sir: [ am writing to ask
why is it that the Protestant Ameri-
can people cater to and allow the
sworn representatives of a foreign
potentate to dictate and control our
leading party conventions? I par
tlcularly noticed that the Republic
cans at Chicago had their convention
opened by Catholic priest, a per-
son who is sworn as an enemy to our
form of government
The Democrats at Baltimore seem
to have called on a cardinal of that
polltlcaI church to start things
there. Pray tell us why is this2
Thls cardinal and this priest hate
many of our cherished institutions.
They hate our public schools. They
are sworn to extirpate our millions
OF Protestant people, and yet, our
party leaders, knowing this, allow
the Catholic representatives of Wall
street and Tammany Hall to push
forward on us these representatives
of an alien political church.
The press representatives also
seemed to be under their control in
that where they give the name of
the party who opens the convention
with devotional exercises, the priest
and cardinal are the only ones thew
give a title to, and the Catholic
Church is the only church that is
mentioned.
$50 be it, and so mought it be-
The people are noticing this more
and more, and the time is coming
when the American people will drive
these hypocritical traitors from this
country Respectfully yours,

SCARBOROUGH'S APPEAL SOUNDS
LIKE BUSINESS.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Having Just
finished reading in The Jeffersonian
the proposition of the Liberator
(Mr. Scarborough's paper), and
what it has to say concerning Ro-
manism, and the appeal to patriotic
and religious press, sounds like bust
ness. We people who have been
reading, studying, signing, gather
ing a little good and world of evil,
think it not too soon to begin this
work. If this prospectus had been
lined up 20 or 80 years ago it would
not have been too soon. A slap
thrashed against these old wolves
then would have lasted till now; it
would have knocked such old tyrants
as Bill Taft out Of the box today.
Yes, slap-down then, to these old
serpents, and today we would be

TELLING THE TRUTH HURTS
SOME
SOME.

Dear Sir: I have been a strong
admirer of you ever since the nine
ties, and you have my sympathy in
your recent trouble with the Roman
Catholics. [ am not surprised at
this, for you are telling the truth.
and it is what is hurting them. I,
like thousands Of others, am proud
we have man who has the brains
to be posted on these Roman Cath
Ollie schemes to control this Govern
ment and the backbone to tell it.
When I think of the way YOU are
now being treated my mind goes
back to the Bible story of Stephen,
who was stoned to death for telling
the truth. It is great consolation
to know that truth is mighty and
will prevail.
There are numbers of people who,
heretofore have been against you
politically, but now say you deserve
more credit for exposing the Roman
Catholics than any one living man.
and you have won their full conf
dence and sympathy Let the good
work go on, for you have the Lord
on your side and are bound to come
out victorious.

renew my subscription to The JEFF
fersonian for another year, can't do
without it. Yours very truly,

GLAD Il. Il. w. DIDN'T GO TO
BALTIMORE.

Dear Mr. Watson: was very
much disappointed at first that you
did not go to Baltimore, but, being
there myself and seeing how the
Democratic" leaders bowed to the
will of the Romanists, | was forced
to come to the conclusion that it was
best that you did not go, as there
can be no doubt in my mind but that
II you had gone you would have been
given an unAmerican reception, not
only by the Roman wolves them
selves, but by their Heutenants, the
leaders of the Democratic party.
AS one sweeps the political horizon
from an American viewpoint, he can
gain no sweet relief" as both Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Taft are known by
all free thinking people to be only
with them so much which of these
tools of the Papy; it matters not
twins is elected, they will still have
a finger in the pie, Or rather they
will have the whole cheese, this being
the real situation believe that
now is the time to begin a new party,
whose battle cry would be America
for Americans. 1t might not be
possible to stir the people this year
TO the real dangers of the Romanists,
but the American party could get
Itself before the people, and by the
necessary amount of educating the
masses it will be only a course of
time before the Twins could be
frozen out.
While en- route to Baltimore
stopped over in Washington and,
naturally, looked up the BurwelI
News Stand. I spent some time
talking with the young man who has
this concern in hand and was very
much gratifed to learn from him
that his business is progressing
nicely despite the RomanIsts Dur
ing the few hours that l stayed there
there were at least seventy-five calls
for WatsOn's Jeff, all of which had
to be turned away on account OF the
Jeffs having not yet reached Wash
ington; that was last Saturday after
noon, and Mr.. Burwell advises that
he rarely ever gets his supply Of
papers on time. I suppose that they
are just naturally" delayed. You
have asked me for no advice in re-
gard to anything, and | will give you
none, but allow me to make a sug-
gestion: from the first papers from
the press, mail BurWell his this will
enable him to have more time in
which to sell them, and will also
enable him to advise his customers
what date to expect them.
