Petition for Pardon.

To Hon, Earl Brewer, Governu
Of the State Of Mississippi:
The undersigned persons, Al
resident citizens Of the state d
Mississippi, respectfully petition
Your Excellency that you grants
pardon to Joe B. Chrisman, whO,
upon March 5, 1912, began 10
serve out a three-year sentence On
a conviction in the circuit cour.
Of Amite comfy for obtaining
money under false pretenses, and
bespeak your clemency for the
following reasons:
1. Counting the time spent ID
Jail, awaiting trial and septepee,
the young man has ALREADY
served nearly a year, and has
been, we believe, sufficiently hu-
inflated and punished for bis
fault, which was the obtaining Of
$25 on a check.
2. He has a wife and two chill.
dren, all Of whom are practically
destitute and now dependent on
the kindness Of friends, eked out
by the labors Of his wife.
8. 1t is his desire to start anew
and live down the stigma on his
name, and prove himself a worthy
citizen Of this or some other stats,
For all Of these reasons, as well
as others that we believe will ap-
peal to your sense OF mercy, We
respectfully petition for his paT.
don, either absolutely or under
such terms as shall seem propar
to yourself.
Respectfully,
N. S. Mclean, r. E. Jackson,
E. G. Nelson, Circuit Clerk.

State Bank of Mac
kay Closes Doors

Last week State Bank Examiner v
w. Platt examined the books of the
Maekay State bank, and decided to
close it unless some arrangements
could be made for relief. Negotia-
tions were opened with the w. G..
Jenkins Bank of Mackay, which is
one Of the Standrod banks, and C.
w. Bergman and Geo. F. Gagan of
Blackfoot, went to Mackay Friday,
with the result that w. G. Jenkins
& Company took over the business of
the Mackay State bank, assuming all
their liabilities except that which
might refer to the stockholders. The
depositors are receiving their money
on demand, and thus the customers
are protected from loss.
It was reported the first of the
week that the Blackfoot State bank
was to be taken over by D. w. Stand
rod & Co., but later it was announced
that some difficulty had been reached
that prevented the deal from being
carried out.

The meeting of the stockholders OF
the fair association was to have been
held on Monday afternoon but failing
| to get quorum they adjourned to
Wednesday evening at which time
455S shares of stock were represent
ed, and board of directors was
elected.
Before nominations were made
some of the older members of the
board recommended that some new
men be elected and let the older ones
have rest from duty G. e. Kinney
and Geo. F. Gagon who have been
long in the harness, stated that they
would not care to serve longer. Thir-
teen menswere placed in nomination,
their names being as follews: l.. M.

Jno. G. Brown, T. H. Christy, Neil

James Duckworth received the full
vote of all present, and eight others

were F. E. DeKay, L. M. Capps, Chas
Hart, G. F. Smith, L. c. lockwood
E. M. Kennedy, Geo. A Robethan and
w. H. Stufflebeam.
H. B. Curtis stated that he would
not care to act as secretary any long
er, but he was informed that a Sec
retary could not resign when he had
served only year or two, that he
had to go through a reasonable per-
lod of service after having learned
how to do the work, and that after
he had served several years thew
might consider letting him off.

WE'RE NOT so SURE

Reports are current regarding the
number of new depots to be built
this season along the Aberdeen
branch, and this office interviewed
Supt. W. R. Armstrong here We'd
nesday morning about it to see If
reports were correct.
Mr.. Armstrong replied that these
matters will probably not be deter
mined until the officers Of the COM
pany received their June budget
from the east. When they look that
over and see what has been approved
and allowed, they are in position
to make announcements.
Regarding the Industrial switch at
Sterling, he said that had been rec
commended, but he had no notice that
it had been allowed yet.
We might add that If recommend
ing improvements were equal to get
ting them into form, this office
would make bunch of recommends
tions, among which would be found
one calling on our informants to be
more careful and pass their informa-
ton on to us just as they receive it.
We are roped in to do considerable
lying that we are not aware Of at
the time.
