A year ago lots of them would have turned
up their noses at the idea. 1t takes harsh words
between William of Germany and George of
England to make some Americans appreciate
the economic value of the humble hen.
The United States of America, with its mil
lions of square miles of farm lands, has been
caught in the act of importing eggs. Not many,
it is true but importing eggs nevertheless Shades

a few other common sense Americans forbid!
But the egg incident is after all only an in

the country bank, we had reserve
of FOUR AND THREE-QUAR-.
TIERS PER CENT.
What was the result of that sys-
TEN? The result was that when
trade was slow and business slack,
there being no demand for curren-
cy, the funds of the country banks
gradually found their way into the
vaults of the great banks of New
York City, where they were thrown
into the MAELSTROM OF STOCK
SPECULATION. They should have
been kept in the vaults of the local
banks ready to respond to the
business requirements of the local
sections of the country.
Illustrating this practice: On
the 14th day of March of this cur
rent year the country banks of the
United States had ON deposit with
New York City 1886, OOO,O0O where
as the country banks were indebted
to New York City only to the ex-
tent of S192, 900, 900.
To Keep Money Where
1t Has It's Origin.
There is a current notion that
the country banks depend upon the
great banks of New York for
money to do business. AS a mat
ter of fact NEW YORK DEPENDS
ON THE COUNTRY BANKS for
money with which to SPECULATE.
The new law changes all this.
Under the new system, it is pro-
posed to keep the RESERVES at
HOME; to keep money where it
originates, WHERE BUSINESS
CREATES 1T, so that, when it is
required, it can help business and
respond to business demands.
1t is proposed to return to the IL
localities where the reserve banks
are. situated the reserve funds of
the country banks which before
have been sent to New York. A
given -ONE-THIRD OF
THE RESERVES to be kept in
the vaults or the local banks. An
other third, or little more than
one-third, is to be kept in the
vaults of the regional reserve
bank, and a little less than one
third may be kept in the vaults of
the regional reserve bank, or in
the vaults Of the local bank, at the
option of the local bank.
Other provisions of the system
are merely the machinery to carry
out these purposes.
The regional banks are banks
for bankers THEY DO NOT DO
BUSINESS DIRECTLY WITH
THE PUBLIC
They are institutions through
which banks may transmute credit
into currency. They are supposed
to use this currency to help the
business man keep his business
going.
They are not supposed to do
what the national banks did in the

Two Delightful Entertainments.

On Tuesday and Wednesday after

most delightful affairs, bridge party
Tuesday and rook on Wednesday On
each occasion the hospitabe country
home of Mrs Donald Ross was thrown
open and the many friends of both la
dies were most happy to accept their
cordial invitations. The house was
decorated in a profusion of red flowers,
which added geniality and beauty to the
spacious rooms For an hour the guests
enjoyed bridge and rook, after which a
most delicious salad course was served.
These ladies are among Grenada's most
charming matrons and truly, on these
occasions, proved themselves to De

Compress viii Advance on Cotton.

By reference to the ad of The Gre
NADIA Compress Co., r. l.. Taylor, gen.
eral manager, it will be seen that a
plan is offered the farmer whereby he
can realize enough on his cotton to tide
him over and yet enable him to hold it
for better prices. The proposition of
the Compress Company is perfectly
reasonable one and undoubtedly one up
on which the farmer can not lose any
thing but on the contrary he stands
every chance to better himself. No
charges are to be collected until the
cotton is finally disposed of The Sen
tinel commends the proposition of the
Compress Combany to the consideration
of the farmers. Write r. l.. Taylor,
Gen. Mgr, Falls Building. Memphis.

Thinks Mr.. James Claims
Too Much Credit.

Editor Sentinel:
read with no little interest the ar
ticle which appeared in your paper last
week written by County Superinten-
dent of Education, V. r. James. AS a
whole | desire to commend what Mr..
James said but it occurs to me that he
is considerably behind the times. He
has been serving as county superinten-
dent of education now we'll nigh sixteen
years and the very condition Regarding
the 10th section lands about which he
writes has obtained nearly ever since
he went into Office and yet he is just
now discovering it. In truth and in
fact, as | understand, the board of su-
pervisors and not Mr.. James, is due the
credit for making the investigation in
to these lands. Again, Mr.. James fail
ed to mention in his article anything
about specific depredations on these
lands the cutting off of the timber

in leaning upon the arm of her father
who gave her hand at the altar to that

impressively said the words that untec
