he has done this that "doeth all
things for the BEST. We know
that it is hard to give up a loved
one.
Be it further resolved, that our

MONEY PAID BACK

Atlanta, March 5.-The big
banks of Atlanta and the whole
cotton states paid back to the
United States this week practical
ly all of the S5O,00O,000 which
was borrowed from the federal
government to help move the
cotton crop.
The Atlanta banks experienced
no difficulty in meeting the big
obligation when their share of it
fell due, and telegraphic advices
to the local clearing house indicate
that the same situation was true of
banks in other sections of the
south.
The big loan of fifty millions
was made last fall, and was dis
tributed widely through the prin-
cipal banks of each of the cotton
growing states.
The readiness and ease with
which the gigantic loan was paid
back is taken to indicate that the
spring will be prosperous one
from financial standpoint in the
South and tt at the tightness in
money which everybody felt more
or less last fall has about come EN-.
tirely to an end.
