and LOCALITY TO Be
MERE At THE FAIR
Next Wednesday and Thursday to Be
Fair Days at Grenada. Exhibits
to Be in Public Square. Prizes
Offered by Grenada Bank.

Every individual and every enter
prise which has taken any step or
made any move to make it easy for
the farmers to get away from all
cotton has performed a distinct and
lasting service. not only the farm
ers, but to the entire commonwealth.
There are many agencies at work
along this line in various parts of the
state, but right in this Immediate To-
cality. there is none that have gone
further, that have invested more
money. that have laid better plans
looking to this md than the Grenada
Bank. 1t would seem to be auperfu-
Gus to recount TO the people of Gre
NADIA county the fact that The bank |
bought chickens and eggs, that it |
bought registered bulls and hcifers |
that it bought registered pigs. both |
male and female, and placed them
in what it deemed capable hands
throughout the county. This poultry.
this stock was sold in such way
that any halfway try out effort would
pay for them. This work on the part
of the bank was commendable and
while it might not have been entire
ly free from selfish motives, the Dues-
ton might be very properly asked:
Where is there anybody to invest
money and talent entirely separate
and apart from motives that are
| thought in the end will inure to their
| good?" If the community prospers,
. so will the bank The greater the
: prosperity of the general public the
greater will be the deposits and the
< loans of the bank. But while the
S bank is coming in for its share Of
: these successes, so will the merchant
}. the oil mills, the brick yards, the
U machine shops, the newspapers and
every other enterprise. So the mat
Ter needs to be looked at from every
angle. While these selfish motives
p may be surmised no one else in the
county has seen fit to show that
such general prosperity. 1t might
be argued that the bank is the only
t. enterprise or business that has the
n money with which to do these things,
II then the question comes, How did
1t the bank get its money!" But all
n this aside. Facts are facts The
n things have been done and the county
:, is all the better off by them.
II Not only has the bank done that III

+ thing in all the counties where it has
