The Citizens Bank will remain a |
state institution. Decision to take i'm |
mediate steps to at once place the in
stitution under the guarantee provi- |
sions of the Mississippi banking law

The question as to whether it was best
to continue operations under a state

ter was discussed for some time, but
the decision to remain a state institu-
tion was unanimous.
Cashier ]. G. Ballard submitted
complete analysis of the banks affairs
for the past two years, in which he
showed earnings in excess of ten thou
sand dollars year for each of the two
years.
Mr.. Ballard stated that one stock
holder, who lives at considerable dis
tance from Hattiesburg, said when he
first arrived, that as he could use his
money at home to advantage, he would
willingly sell his holdings. After the
meeting adjourned he announced his
intention to hold his stock and a desire
to increase his holdings.
The stockholders were PRACTICAL,
unit in the expressed belief that th'
present banking law will prove o
great benefit to the state at large b.
reason of it's effect in restoring publ
I. confidence in banks operating unde
state charters.
The directors of the Citizens Ban
l have been called to meet Friday nigh
; at which time the necessary apple;

" ers will be made and all required step
taken to enable the bank to qualif
as a guaranteed bank.

HIBIT OF THE ROYAL
ACADEMY.
(By Associated PreSS.)

London, May 27.-Among the artists
who had their pictures accepted for
the Royal Academy is Frank Cowley,
a village barber. His picture is hung
on the line, the ambition of every
artist, and not "skied" or "cornered"
as happens to the great majority of
pictures.
Mr.. Cowley took to painting before
he began to shave the inhabitants of
Hadlow Kent, for a living, and his
academy picture was painted in six
hours. 81 worked on it," he said,
about eight years ago. and in two sit
tings, between five and eight in the
morning. had completed it."
The picture is a green and grey
scheme, showing a smiling country
side, with girl and two white goats
standing near tree. Five times pre-
viously Mr.. Cowley has sent pictures to
the Academy. Thrice he has been "re
jected," while on the other two oc,
caslons ne was among those whose
work was crowded out"
He is entirely self-taught, and only
recently took first lessons in technique
Barbering, he explains, is an annoy
ance.
'But / can't run the old trade down,
he added, "for it has been a goot
friend to me. Barbering gave me g
splendid opportunity of studying types
of faces, which used in my pictures
And, besides, I sold a good many tt
customers for few shillings."
Mr.. Cowley, who is still in his thir
ties prefers to regard himself primaril.
as an animal painter. and he has tn
use of private zoo in Kent for hi
models.

BOY, AGED TWELVE,
IS A QuADRuPED
For Ten Years He Has TraV-
e|ed on All Fours.

Birmingham, Ala.-A case Of pos
sible reversion to type is that Of Thorn
as Armstrong. twelve-year-old, boy
of Bangor, Ala. Upon the death Of his
father he was thrown on the COM
munity and sent to the associated
charities in Birmingham. then turned
over to the Juvenile court, which In
turn transferred him to leading ply
stefan. The medical profession here Is
using the boy as an archaeological
study.
Young Armstrong has never learned
to walk erect, but goes on "all fours."
He is physically strong and can run
as fast as the average boy. His body
and limbs are normally formed and
developed. His arms are slightly
longer than normal. presumably as
result of use in all four walking. 1t
has always seemed natural for him to
walk that way.
When he was a little child his moth
er died. His father married again.
but did not live long, and the boy had
to shift for himself. From habit and
usage he can place his hands on the
ground with his body in horizontal
position. He says his back and Shout
ders never get tired from long walks.
The boys mental development has
been slow, but the physician who has
him in charge believes that in six
months he will be able to walk like
other boys. He is being trained in
that direction and has made some
progress. He is gradually developing
mentally as we'll.
Physicians are studying the case
with exceptional interest in the belief
that valuable anthropological and med.
ical information may be obtained from
his treatment.
For ten years the boy has Travelled
on all tours and can walk for miles
that way and keep up with other boys.
