Notice to Our Patrons. I

Recently the Comptroller of Currency and the Board of State Examiners, issued orders requiring National and State Banks to dis- continue the overdraft practice and the United States Court has ruled that it is illegal for officers ui banks to permit overdrafts. A quotation from the order of the Comptroller of the Currency is as

| foliowft: “No officer qr employee of a Nat-

ional Bank shall pay or charge tc the account of any depositor, an; check of such depositor, when there are not sufficient funds on deposit to the credit of the drawer of the check to meet the same.”

As it is necessary for us to com-

ply with these orders, notice is hereby given that we will not here- after be permitted to honor the checks of any depositor unless there are sufficient funds on deposit to cover the same

! On account of this situation ws

; trust that our depositors will keep closely up with their bank accounts so that no checks may be sent out that would have to be returned.

Our patrons wjlj also please bo advised that beginning with the first proximo our banking offices will be open for business from nine A. U to three P. M. the outside doors being closed ubtil the opening hour in the morning and after the closing hour in the afternoon. It is necessary for this to be done order that our officers and employ- ees may have sufficient tiipe during the regular business hours to wait on our patrons and to have suffi.- cient time before and after the regular business hours to do the necessary clerical and routine work of the day.

he has established a reputation that is unsullied by a single blemish, either public or privatk. His rec- ord as prosecuting attorney is too well and favorably known to ieed any further mention afour hands. In college he was as popular and deserving as he is today, and was the recipient of unusual honors. During the summer qf. 1907, between bis junior and .Jenior years, he represented Mississippi College at the state oratorical contest at the Crystal Springs Chatat/qua. At the celebration of the fifty rilxth anniversary of his college literary society he was the anniversafian, being chosen to that position unani- mously, which was an exceptional honor. Later, when taking his law course at the University of Missis- sippi, he was chosen to represent Mississippi at the Tri-State De- bate. composed of representatives of Vanderbilt University, Baylor University and the University of Mississippi. His reputation as a

brilliant and polished orator has increased with the years, for we

finji him in demand at almost every Woodman celebration or unveiling within hailing distance, and the number of school commencements in which he has figured as principal speaker is too large to men-

tion. He served three terms as

messenger boy in the State Senate, the very body he is now seeking to enter as a member, and at an age when impressions count for most. Ihe experience that he gained then will prove invaluable should he be elected. As a lawyer he is keen, alert, discriminating, careful, and very successful, and no worthier, more conscientious, Christian gentleman lives than he”

J. Morris Montgomery aa a candidate for Chancery Clerk of Linoolu county, The Leader would state

‘rthat Mr. Montgomery is a true Lincoln county product, home- raised and home-educated, with the exception of a course taken at Mississippi College and the State University, and withal is a most estimable, competent and deserving young man.

Mr. Montgomery is a farmer by profession, although he has taught school four years, but at the end of each school term he would return to the farm and make a crop. He is now engaged in school duties and will be for about six weeks yet to come when he expects to put his claims fully before the voters.

Mr. Montgomery states that he is i announcing a| the present time so

that the voters may have a chance to make every inquiry as to what kind of a man he is—that he is going to enter the race clean and on a high plane, and that elected or defeated he will still have the same title. He is a man in whom a public trust can be safely im- posed with every assurance that it will be carried out and his friends esteem him for his integrity and probity of character which he has gained by a moral and upright life and he numbers many frienc's who Will rally and work for his cause in the campaign tp come. Mr. Mont- gomery will be very grateful to ttie voters for a careful consideration of his claims before they cast their votes, tiDd will have no complant to make after they vote tor the mao they think best suited for the position he is asking at their nanda.

R V. MASSENGILL. While it will not be news to a

large number of voters already aware of his Intentions, for those not so informed and for the pur- pose of asking them to give his claims due and proper consider-

ation, Mr K. V. Massengill is to-

day announcing as a candidate for Chancery Clerk of Lincoln County.

This is Mr. Massengill’a first offer to serve the people of Lincoln

County in any public office, and during his residence here of fifteen and a half years as one of the head men in McGrath’s office de-

partment he has made many friends in all sections of the county, who have recognized in Mr. Massengill a man thoroughly conscientious and honest in the discharge of his duties. accommodating and thoroughly competent. Mr Massengill, if elected, will not go into the office without experience, having served as deputy chancery clerk of Copiah county before his removal to this county, Mr. Massengill is a man

of high ideals and probity of character. and to know him more inti- mately is to esteem him more highly. and he promises the voters to

give his best efforts to a discharge of the important office to which he aspires if they see tit to choose him as a successor to the present incum- bent. It will be bis endeavor to see every voter possible between now

god the primaries if possible and all he asks is that they give his claims due and careful consideration and he will be satisfied with the verdict rendered at the polls

R. L. BRENT

R. L BRENT.

The leader presents in this issue the announcement of Mr. R L. Brent, of Bogue Chitto, as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the office of Chancery Clerk.

Mr. Brent needs no introduction to the voters of Lincoln County and words of commendation and lauda- tion would be but the Expression of opinion held by all who know him He is strictly a Lincoln County product—born and reared in the county—and has continuously re- sided in Bogue Chitto and conduct- ed his business there since attain- ing his majority 17 years ago.

It will be recalled that Mr Brent was a strong contender for nomination as Chancery Clerk four years ago making a most creditable race having entered the Becond primary with his successful oppon- ent, Mr McNair. It might also

be mentioned here as a distinction in the race of four years ago that Mr Brent received more votes at his home box of Bogue Chitto than any other candidate on the ticket— Vardaman not being excepted.

Mr. Brent has always stood in the forefront in all laudable public enterprises, and was a member of the Board of Aldermen and Mayor protem for'12 years at Bogue Chit- to. He has requested us to state that there is plenty of time yet before the election, and he will not endeavor to make an active canvass

among the voters for some time yet to come. Mr. Brent expresses himself as very grateful to the voters who supported him four years ago and states that he expects to have a sufficient number of new followers in the campaign to come to land him a. winner by a good margin, and we bespeak for him the consideration of the electorate of the county.
