Alto, on what was formerly
the palmer land. This park
is within easy reach of our
people, being but a mile and
a half distant, A street will
be graded from San Antonio
street south, then west to
the Homer road, and a
lake .vill be built at the old
school house spring. The
elk are now at New Rich-
mond, Ind,, but will arrive
here in a ieyr days. They
will be yarded at W. J. Kuapp's
barn until the park can be
prepared for their occupancy.
Other animals will be added
from time to time, and the
lake will be stocked with fish.
It is hoped that the people
of Alto will appreciate this
park and assist in making it
one of the most beautiful in
the country.

Governor Colquitt sent in a
special mfcssage3 -artrrday that
will go down in history as a
companion to the celebrated
"Easter Message" of Governor I
Campbell to the 31st legiflsi-j
ture. It was couched iu lan/
guage not altogether saiisfac-1
tory to many members of the
house and senate, but it con-
tained recommendations very
ppropriate and specified cer-1
tain measures that should be
enacted inty Jaw. After the
message was read several
members sent up a resolution
resenting the language of the
message and declaring that it
be returned to the Governor. J
This resolution was debated E. W. Thurmond was a

WHAT IT MEANS
Many people do not know what a bank Is -capital is
for, or the difference between a bfi.uk of ilittlc or no
capital and onc.vi'ith large capital.
A BANK'S CAPITAL
Is the fund that protects the depositors from loss;
therefore, the larger it is, the greater protection the
depositor has. This bank has a
Capital of $15,000 00
Surplus Fund of 1-75° 00
Undivided Profit 1.95° 00
Total .....$iS,,7oo 00
This means that we must lose.$18,7,00 00 before our
depositors could lose a cent. Lhis protection is for
you.

This iociety meets every
second and fourth Tuesday in
business aud devotioual meet-
ings. The first Tuesday af/
teruoon each month we have
our social tea aud free will
offering. Tuesday afternoon,
March 8th, the hospitable
home of Mrs. Eecker was the
place of this enjoyable occa-
sion. On arriving each guest
was met by the charming hos-
tess, Mrs. Decker. The home
was beautifully decorated, the
color scheme being white and
green. On entering each
guest was required to register,
then was conducted to the
dining room, where delicious
punch was served by that
charming and beautiful young
lady, Miss Mary Rion.
Then came the contest, "A
Longfellow Evening," the
lucky winuer being Mrs. Em/
ory Watters, the prize being
a beautiful picture, after which
we were invited to the breaks
fast room, where dainty re/
freshments were served. Five
o'clock came all too soon and
each guest was reluctant to
leave so charming a place.

Mr& O. D. Jones of Morrill,
Was a visitor jfn the city Mou-
overnor's constitutional right
to send in a message recom-
mending the passage of cer-
tain laws ana as I it, the
Upuse could not unified in
insulting the Governor by re-
turning his message to him,
notwithstanding some of his
language was very distasteful
and uncalled for.
The house has doue the
best work that it was possible
to do under the circumstances
and should not be unduly |
censured, but the senate has
not done so well as the house,
caused by the fact that four-
teen anti-prohibition senators
are banded together and stand
like a "stonewall" to defeat
any measures proposed by the
prohibitionists.
I repeat that the legislature
ought to adjourn aud "cool
off" then be called back next
summer after the prohibition
election is held, and pass all
laws for the welfare of the
state,
It is thought that the Gov-
ernor may veto the cotton bag-
ging factory law, as he is us-
ing the veto ax to such an ex-
tent as to veto city charters
and local road laws.
He has refused to sigu a
law creating two new courts
of civil appeals until the law
to relieve the supreme court
of its burdens shall have been
passed, and in this instauce, I
believe he is correct, as he
has been on other occasions.
Congress has not passed the
Congressional apportionment
bill so the legislature cannot
redistrict the state into con-
gressional districts at this
session.
Messrs. Walter Terrell, Dr.
Bruce Bell, Dr. Frank Boyd
and Press Reynolds, formerly
of Alto, have visited the State
Capitol the past fey days.
