Lamar Buys Quota
Ralph Dickson, about twenty
years old, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Will Dickson of Deport, was se
riously hurt at Syivan Friday af
ternoon while engaged in playing
ball. He was at bat and a ball
that was thrown with great force
by the pitcher, struck him
squarely in the forehead, knock-
ing him down and rendering him
unconscious. It was thought for
quite a while before the doctor
arrived that he was dead. Dr.
R. T. Black was telephoned for
from Paris and Dr. A. J. Rush
from Blossom. There was a
slight concussion of the brain.
There are four constitutional
amendments to be voted on Sat-
urday, May 24. They should be
studied carefully and a large
vote polled. Especially should
the prohibitionists go to the polls
on that day, unless they want
the action of the legislature on
the national constitutional amend
ment refuted.
As in the four previous loans,
T^amar county did her duty by
the Victory loan. Our quota
was $1,174,200, and it was over-
subscribed $10,350. Nearly fifty
percent of it was sold Friday and
Saturday.
The following subscriptions
are reported by the local banks.
The First National purchased
all the bonds allotted to it which
were not subscribed for, and the
First State will probably do the
same, as all their allotment has
not been sold.

Gua L. Ladd ta at home again.
He went into the service laat
summer, and was trained at
Camp Travis and Beauregard,
and sailed for France In Sep
tember with the Thirty-ninth,
156 Infantry. Because of his
expert maramanship he was
made a sergeant and sent to a
target range at St. Florence,
France. While on the range a
city recruit, who had not yet
recognized the business end of a
rifle, accidentally shot him in the
left hand. The wound has not
yet entirely healed, and the
middle Anger is stiff. He landed
in New York on March 7, but
haa not received his discharge
on account of the wound. He
will leave soon for an army
hospital at Atlanta, Ga., to re-
main until the hand is entirely
well. Like most of the boys,
Gus is looking fine, and says the
good old U. S. A. is surely
God’s country.
Deputy Sheriff Mack Read ar-
rested a negress, Roberta Pinks-
ton, and placed her in jail at Par-
is Friday on the charge of burg-
lary. It is said that she broke
e. window out of a house occupied
by Blanche Morgan, also a ne-
gress, and took $40 worth of
shoes and dresses. The house
belonged to Bob Westbrook.
In the Last Analysis
It is the bank which depends upon business
for success —not business upon the bank.
While it is true that no business can operate'
successfully without a strong banking connec-
tion, in a larger sense the bank itself can look
for great success only in the ratio that success
comes to its patrons.
The success for which this institution bids is
that which comes to us as a direct result of in-
telligent co-operation and tangible assistances
rendered to the friends and patrons of this bank.
Let us co-operate with each other.
