No Pot of Gold
There is no pot of gold at the foot of the rain
bow, nor treasure ship consigned to the dreamer,
but he who gets up and hustles, take a good bank
as his friend and advisor, saves consistently and
all he possibly can—that man is laying the foun
dation for success and the measure of that success
will be limited only by his ability to manage his
affairs carefully and well.
The First National Bank
offers you the facilities of a well managed bank.

Increased Cotton Acreage.
Memphis Tenn., May 2.—In
a statement i issued by National
Ginners’ Association it * is esti
mated that the acreage planted
to cotton in the Southern States
on April 26 had been increased
by seven tenths of one per cent,
as compared with the same date
as last year.
In the Eastern States a small
increase is reported, while the
Valley States show a slight de
crease because of the spread of
the boll weevil. Texas shows a
slight increase and Oklahoma
about 10 per cent,—not as much
as indicated in March in either
State. This is explained by the
scarcity of feedstufis, increasing
the acreage in corn, oats and al
lalfa.
Reports to the association
show that 64 per cent of the crop
has been planted. The greater
part of the plants which were up
before the recent cold weather
were (killed, except in central
and southern Texas, and it is
estimated that 14,000,000 acres
will have to be replanted. With
average weather a loss of 10 per
cent in yield is predicted.

May 6th at 11:45 p. *m., Ed
ward VII, King of Great Brit
ain, quietly passed away. The
King had been sick only a few
days and his death, which was
caused by pneumonia, was an
unexpected blow to 'the nation.
His successor, the [Prince of
Wales, has already been pro
claimed King and is now known
to the world as King George V,
of England.
King Edward was, perhaps
the most popular of contempo
rary monarchs in any quarter of
the world, and his death is
mourned not only in Great

ilized world.
