The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1915-01-08

At a meeting of the stockholders Of
the Planters Bank of Leland, it was
decided to liquidate, and all funds due
depositors were placed in the Bank of
Leland. This move was brought about
by the uncertainty of the future, and
its president, j. w. Thompson, wanting
to be relieved of the responsibility as
well as to be in "a position to give more
attention to his personal affairs.

MISTRESS NELL
GRAND THEATER TONIGHT

Mary Pickford, the celebrated
screen star Of the Famous Players
Film company. adds appreciably to
her stellar honors In the role Of
Mistress Nell,". her latest charac-
terization in nYe-part feature adap-
ton Of the renewed domantic drama
by George. G. Haselton. Jr. This
feature will be shown at the Grand
theater tonight. Mistress Nell" is
considered the greatest heroine Of
historic and romantic drama. and as
personified by Mary .Pickford is q
character Of delightful femininity
combined with the dramatic force in
herent in all the work Of this gifted
star. The play is laid in the times
Of King Charles II, Of England, and
is dominated by the; heroism and gal
lantry that marked that brilliant
period. Yet In all the realm. and of
all the many brave and bold caval-
liers and knights. none surpases, in
daring and loyalty, Mistress Nell her.
self. How she saves the king first
from the machinations Of his poll
tical enemies, and later his life itself,
and how she ultimately wins his
heart and love, are picturesquely,
dramatically, and often tensely, de-
picted. The. scene in which she
overhears the plot against the kings
life, and is simultaneously terrified,
enraged and ennobled to make the
utmost sacrifice to save her sover-
eign's life, present Mary Pickford at
her inimitable best. All who know
how skillfully she can interpret two
or more distinct emotions at the same
time will appreciate the true charm
Of this scene and its unusual dram
attic appeal. The subject is beauti-
fully costumed and the settings faith
fully illustrate the imposing environ
ment of the period. In the cast sup
porting Mary Pickford are Owen
Moore, as King Charles II; Arthur
Hoops, as the Duke of Buckingham;
Ruby Hoffman, as Louise, Duchess of
Portsmouth; Amelia Rose, as Orange
Moll, and other popular photo-players
in the minor roles. -

Congressman's Complaint Met.
"A congressman came here and
said: There is difficulty existing at
two towns in this county Indicating
the place on the map This town
is of just the same Importance as
that one; il you take the service away
from this town and put it In motor
vehicle route in the other town, I

Congressman, let us go over that.
We did so, and found localities on
the map for five additional routes in
that congressional district, and in
one county in the district, where
there had been no service of any
kind, motor vehicle route will go
into operation this fall. --.-s.~--.~
"Now, do you think the congress-

ought to outweigh the benefit which
it developed we could give so many
people in that district? Some peo-
pie can't have everything and others
nothing at all. This department
means that all shall have fair

Some Postmasters Delay Progress.
"Often we have found that fourth
class postmasters, whose offices were
in danger of being abolished, have
kept people from applying for rural
service. These postmasters were
afraid of losing their few dollars Of
income obtained from the sale of
stamps and stamped paper.

1t has been called to our attention
that some Of the shrewd investors of
Minneapolis and those living in the
territory through which we propose to
build, have been trying to obtain rail
road stock at a price below par by
making discouraging remarks as to the
company's earning power and financial
standing. 1t is on account of these
facts that we have planned making
certain announcements, in the near
future, as to the earnings together
with the Disbursements and financial
condition of the company covering
this years operation and feel certain
that the statements made will prove al
agreeable surprise to our most opti-
mistic stockholders; for this reason
we suggest that those contemplating
the disposal of their holdings, post
pone definite action until the earnings
have been announced.
We desire at this time to extend a
cordial invitation to all our stock
holders attending the state fair to
take a trip over the system at present
completed and to visit the new o n

be amply repaid for the time spent in
seeing the progress made during the

said of a certain class of human dere-
lictS who attach themselves to those
who are honestly seeking work to the
discredit of real laborers? Generally
they have no trade and are not famil-
lar with the commonest kind of farm
or any other kind of work. When
offered work they ask for wages
than they can earn. In trying to find
out a little of their life history it is
difficult to pin them down to facts.
They always have a plausible story to
tell, such as being thrown out of work
by mills shutting down or else they
were railroad laborers going to an
other part of the country for a job.
Then there are others who are very
secretiVe about their past, These are
probably the ones who are professional
holdup artists, robbing those who have
saved some of their money. 1t would
be interesting to know the real genesis
of the worst of these box car tourists.
Some. no doubt, are the victims of UNI
toward circumstances. but others are
wanderers, social derelicts, from
choice. They have enough education
to read and write but no energy or
power of initiative. They have been
failures in their home communities
and have become the victims of the
power Of wanderlust. Nearly every
community furnishes one or more
members to this unfortunate army of
wanderers. Even this part of the
country has been represented, if you
try to recall instances of the kind.
Whether we furnish our quota in the
future depends upon the will of those
in making. Only a right about face on
the part of the individual who is dis
couraged, who is dissatisfied with what
he thinks is his hard lot will save him
from being a new recruit in this num-
erous army of stragglers. Educational
advantages are plentiful and trades
and professions are open to every n
who has the proper ambition to enroll
himself in the army of the employed.

LUCE LINE NEWS

Bookings stockholders of the Elec-
trio Short Line company received this
week the following letter, which Ger.
tainly sounds good:
1t is with a great deal of satisfac-
ton that the board of directors an
Gun that they have about complet-
ed financial arrangements, without re-
sorting to the aid of a bond issue, for
letting the contract covering approx
mately 40 miles of additional road; the
announcement of which will be made
within a few days, as 500 as a few
of the minor details can be satisfac-
torily arranged. 1t is our present plan
before the end of the year, and upon
the completion of this contract will
permit the company to have, in sue
cessful operation, approximately 80
miles Of track without any indebted
ness.
We felt that there is not one Of our
stockholders who does not fully appre-
ciate the full meaning and will be
agreeably surprised at this announce
ment. The present financial condition
has amply verified the wisdom of the
directors in postponing bonding the
road until a more favorable interest
rate could be secured and conditions
are rapidly tending in that direction.
We thoroughly realize the import
nee of completing our system as
soon as possible on account of the
large revenues derived from the hand
ling of freight, which at present we
are losing by not having our road in
operation through the rich portions of
the northwest, and it will be our con-
hurry the same through to rapid COM
p~letion.
BY the addition of the new mileage
it has been c~onservatively estimated
by our engineering department that
the gross earnings of the road should
increase at least 1907, while the oper-
alive expenses should not increase
over 20R. Our equipment is amply
sufficient to lake care Of the additional
business thus secured, in addition to
the normal increase in tonnage of the
line from Minneapolis to Winsted, SO
practically the only increase in opera
tive expenses will be limited to a few
additional employees such as agents
and track crews.
With the showing we will then be
able to make, approximately so miles

Electric Short Line Railway will be in

will be one of the most desirable rail

been offered to the investing public in
recent years, as we are not aware of
any railroad entering a city of 100, 900
population or more, having half of our

debtedness.
1t was owing 10 the hearty co-opera-
ton of the stockholders of the Short
Line in taking advantage of the ex-
tremely profitable investment offered
in the shape of terminal stock that has
enabled us to arrange the letting Of
