rhe collapse of the Longview
Bank which occurred Saturday
was surprise to the people of
thai section of the county, as it
was thought the institution was in
good financial condition. When
the crash came the depositors,
especially those of the farming
class, could not believe it until
they heard that some of the bank
officials were in the clutches of
the law.
The LOngview bank was organ
lied some six months ago with II
capital of $40, 900. Hardin Adams
of Prairie, was president, and
Leonard Brandon, cashier.
1t is said the suspension of the
Prairie, French Camp and Brooks

president, had something to do
with the failure of the Longview

TO the Honorable Board of Aldermen

TO the Honorable Board of Aldermen,
City of Starkville:
GENTLEMEN: - Whereas, at a
recent meeting of your body, Ger.
tain resolutions were submitted by
certain citizens of Starkville re-
gordlng the supervision of public
and club dances by persons vested
by you with such authority, and
Whereas, we believe the submis~
sion of said resolutions grew out
of misinformation of said citizens
regarding the nature of the said
dancing INDUCED in at these
dances, and,
Whereas. it is a we'll known
fact that the so-called animal
dancing" Turkey Trot," "Griz"
zley Bear, Bunny Hug" Tan
go' and kindred dances) have not
been indulged in at any dances
given by the A. & M. College
Clubs, since it was found that the
invited chaperones objected to
them, and
Whereas, we feel that such an
action as requested of you in said
resolutions would he a reflection
upon the good Judgment of the
dancing contingent of the Az NJ L.
College as gentlemen, therefore,
We do respectfully submit these
resolutions and ask that we may
not be embarrassed by any action
on your part that would cause our
dances to be placed under the
chaperonage of public officials and
thus have taken from them their
present dignity and propriety.
Respectfully Submitted,

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

One after another the big problems
Of finance and trade that have arisen
ou account of the European war are be
iu% solved. Considering the unpre-
ccdented upheaval that occurred and
THE complete breaking down of credits
throughout the world the recovery
since the war started has been remark
ably rapid. Exports from the United
States have been resumed on very
large scale and should they continue
20 increase at the present rate aplre-
hension of heavy gold shipments to pay
United States indebtedness abroad will
have been dissipated. In addition toI
paving debts and meeting an urgent
demand in Europe shipments OF pro-
ducts and merchandise are relieving Il
con4csted condition in the United !
States. Formation of the Slo0.Ooo, cool
gold pool to ameliorate the foreign cx-I
change situation has had much to do
both sentimcntally and actually with
| he present improved conditions The.
| future is likely to prove that EuropcI
needs grain more than gold. Conse-
quently the United States will be Of
great service to ltS nel2hhorS across
the seas if it ships them its surplus
| farm products and manufactures. APP
prehenslon of overwhelming European'
liquidation Of American securities is
| likely to disappear also in the ratio
that United states exports increase, for
| while there may be heavy selling Of
American stocks abroad when the eN-
changes reopen they can be largely
| paid for in American commodities in
! stead of American gold.
There has been clearing up of stock
