Best in History of The Bank

Inc Gre0au bank ana us CWelNc

stockholders meeting in Grenada Mon
day. There were no features of the
meeting outside of the business fea-
lures. The gathering as usual brought
citizens from the various localities
where branch banks are located to
Genada The branch institutions are
at Charleston, Oakland, Moorhead,
Belzoni, McCool, Ackerman, Louis
vile, Noxapater, Eupora, Calhoun
City, Vardaman and Woodlawn.
The meeting consumed nearly the
whole day. President J. T. Thomas
report was comprehensive and COM
plete, and like all of these reports
which have been emanating from this
gentleman for a number of years, it
contained that which showed full
vision of things beyond the present
day. 1t bade those interested jim
pushing the welfare of the Bank to
look beyond the present, to build for
the happiness and the prosperity of
those who must sustain the banking
interests. 1t showed that the Presi-
dent keeps well in mind something
more than merely earning dividends.
All the old officials were reelected
except J. w. McClintock, manager
of the Belzoni Bank. He did not
desire to succeed himself. His place
was filed by the election of Mr.. Blair
who has had no small amount of ex-
perience in the banking world. Messrs
b. {. Adams the popular and efficient
cashier, W. H. Kirk and r. W. Sharp

The earnings of the Bank for the
year 1913 exceeded anything in all
the past history of this splendid in,
stitution-an institution which is
rated in the banking circles of New
York and the other great centers
of the country as one of the best
and strongest banks in the South.
An s per cent dividend had already !
been paid out of the earnings for the !
year to which 10 per cent was added
this meeting, thus making IS per
cent in all paid to the stockholders
for 1918. Besides this the surplus
OF the Bank was largely increased,
thus enabling the management to
reach out for still greater and big
ger things.
The Grenada Bank is credit to =
Grenada, to Grenada county and to
he State of Mississippi. The coun-
sells of President Thomas are sought
by those promoting many matters :
'ther than business throughout the
State. 1t is indeed fortunate for

Tat they have seen the wisdom q; yiv
ng him such free hand in all the

CLUB NAMES BABY

Since it's organization the Sheffield Muscle Shoals club has been called upon to act in various premises, but it em- , parked upon extraordinary adventure this week, and again demonstrated it's yer satility as a club equal to any emer- gency. It suffices to say the correct ness of the statement is vouched for by Dr. H. R. Thompson, the genial secre- Atary of the local 'Y'' association, and a valued member of the club.
 ! Following d visit of the stork to Dr. kThompSon's house, the doctor found him. tself in dilema; he and his wife had an- kticipated the arrival of baby girl and khad a name selected accordingly, but the Fold bird'' brought a son instead, and Fthus their plans were upset whereupon tthe offices of the local club were sought bout by Dr. Thompson, who stated that The would appreciate it as an honor if sthe club would assume the responsibility | of furnishing him with name. Agee- table to the request, the club acquiesced and committee composed of w. T. Archer, H. Fontaine Little, Herbert Kim { nard w. c. Wallace and Dr. Roan Gall bachelors), after due and very careful consideration, announced its decision.
 "Wilford Alvin was the name chosen by the committee, from whose names let ters were selected at random, which re- suited in the aforesaid cognomen, which proved to be highly pleasing and satis- factory to Dr. Thompson and his wife.

AMERICAN BOATS
 PATROL LAKE OMEGA

Medejia Cora, Russian napland, June 25.-(via London. July 2s.)L(Corres- pondence of the Associated Press.)- Two tiny American "warcraft," a 3-foot motorboat from the cruiser Galveston and the 24-foot motorboat from the yacht Yankton, each manned by Yankee jacktars and carrying machine guns and light artillery, have been playing an important role in Keeping the north end of lake Omega clear of the bolshe- vik raider boats while the allied land forces moved along the shore toward PetrQzavodsk.
 Tfese boats, which have been re- named Atlanta and Georgia. were brought nearly 500 miles by rail from Murmansk and were the first allied warcraft launched on lake Oneka. Since then British and Russian craft havA been launched.
 The Atlanta had a close shave a few weeks ago in a 5O-minute engage ment with a large bolshevik steamer which outranged the Atlanta's guns. Some of the shells struck within 10 yards of the Atlanta, which sought safety at the beach, maintaining a run ming fire, but the bolshevik gave up the chase.
 Lake Omega is dotted with bays and inlets wherein constant game of hide and seek was played during the 24 hours of daylight.
 The American craft were under the command of Lieut.. D. c. Woodward, of Atlanta Several American vessels of the North Russian squadron have been at target practice in the North sea.

My health has improved so much since commenced taking Tanlac that I feel like a different man altogether" said J. A. Witheridge, 1883 South Hope street. Los Angeles, Cal, the other day.
 T had been in a general rundown condition for about eight months." he continued. land when I began taking I thought I would have to give up my position and teke long rest was tired and Jagged out all the time and my appetite was so poor that l couldn't eat enough to keep up my strength. What little I did eat didn't taste right and I didn't relish it at all. I was also very nervous and rarely ever got good nights sleep and just kept on going down hill until I was so weak and run down that I could hardly go up and down stairs | and would have to lose two or three days at a time from my work.
 N "One day I overheard some custom 1fts in the store talking about the good Tanlac had done them, and one of em seemed to have about the same trouble I had, so I thought that if Eanlac had helped him it ought to do He some good and I commenced talk Ing it right away. That was just gabout month ago, and now I am in as good health as I ever was. I have ggained 13 pounds already and feel just fine and dandy all the time. My nerves are as steady as clock and

I have gotten my appetite back, too, and I eat three hearty meals every day. I no longer wonder at the enormous sale of Tan lac. for I know that it is a real medi- cine and does the work for people"

SCHOOL TAX ELECTION

Gu Tuesday, September ?, a special elec- tion will be held in Sheffield and small rural district of Colbert county, on the question of levying 3-mill special school tax. The local board of education has given notice that this special school tax should be favorably voted upon, but so far but little interest has been manifest ed, but many citizens of the city have stated that they are opposed to more and additional taxation, especially as the state revenue bill pending in the Ala bama legislature provides for increased taxation, from which source it is expected the schools of the state will be bene- fited.
 Various country districts of Colbert county during the past wek voted against the 3-mill levy for school purposes, and this is considered indicative that the people are growing tired of all sorts of taxation, and complaints are being heard generally anent the revenue bill now pending and assured of passage in the state legislature.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dorset, W, June -, 1919.
To the Editor of the Manchester
Journal,
Dear SIR
May ! say one more word upon th'
subject Of lights in Dorset before tn,
interest. aroused by the recent agita
ton, has had time to subside? From
the discussion last Thursday night, il
appeared that practically everybody
approves Of lighting our streets. We
differ only in respect TO he best meth
od Of attaining that end.
Most of US, believe, appreciate the
offer Of the Ladies Society and the
attempt of their committee to find the
best immediate and practical solution
of the problem. The rejection of their
proposition, by the taxpayers of the
district, lays an obligation upon us all
TO find another solution If we can. II
would be unfortunate indeed, If the
matter should be entirely dropped and
the streets allowed to continue as
black as they have been through the
long winter nights. Of course the
only ultimate solution is electricity
but that, for the present and perhaps
for some time to come, must remain
an ideal. In the meantime, pending
the realization of the ideal, would
again suggest tina we, who are mem
bers Of the district, do what we have
all been urged to do before: hang out
lighted lamps or lanterns in front of
our homes every night. To do this
will be something Of bother but it
will help not only to dispel some Of
the gloom of our streets but also to
foster better community spirit which
we need. If this plan should be gen
orally followed, | believe that the ben
eft to all would be so apparent that
nobody would feel inclined to interfere
with the lamps as, ! am told, has been
done in the past in individual cases.
Would it not be a good idea for the
Dorset column of the Journal to pub
lish a roll of honor containing the
names of those who shall render this
service to the community?
Respectfully yours,
w. Leroy HAVEN.

WHY He is IN SCOUTING.

The question. "Why are you taking
such an active part in scoutingT" was
asked OF Mednd Il. Stone, president OF
the Tucker Tool and Machine company
OF New York city, aud Mr. Stone un'
hesi,atingly replied:
Il am In scouting today because OF
what the scout movement has done for
my sons and for many other boys who
are now wearing the uniform Of the
United States and nobly fulfilling their
scout oath to do their duty to God
and our country
IL came into scouting because OF
what 1t promised to do for boys. That
was seven years ago--and the promise
has been abundantly kept. But the
boys do not receive all the benefits Of
scouting. The men who give them
leadership gain fully as much. ] would
urge every boy to join a scout troop.
"If you want to understand scout
ing, 20 with some scoutmaster on a
hike with his troop or to camp with
them some day. Sit at their campfire.
watch them at work and play. You'll
get a vision Of what scouting means.
and you'll want to have share In 1t.
"And scouting needs men - and
needs them now. You can do your
country the biggest kind Of good turn
II you'll help to do the work Of the
many scout leaders who are over
there" -.
