Richland State Bank. Charlie's Barber Shop. IT exceeded one million dollars for the fhst time. Several weeks ago, the officers of the bank announced that the combined assets of the bank had reached the million dollar mark but this is the first time that the customer deposits reached that amount. The record breaking growth of the new bank is an indication of the stable economic conditions which obtain in its trade area.

The phenomenal growth in the strength of its deposit has greatly exceeded the estimate of its organizers. At the time it was opened for business, the organizing group made predictions that the bank would have a million dollars within a year of the commencement of business. Now that this goal has been reached in less than five months it is a high tribute to the faith of this community in the new Institution and brings much credit to the officers and directors in the conduct of its affairs. In commenting on the million dollar achievement, Mr. O.

G. Lynch, Cashier, declared that the record of the bank is due entirely to the enthusiastic response given it by the citizens of this community and trade area. On behalf of the officers, directors and organizers Mr. Lynch expressed his appreciation for the confidence with which the new bank has been received and to pledge continued banking services of every nature to its depositors and customers.

Noted Man, Former Senator, Has Enjoyed Brilliant Career LAKE PROVIDENCE, Oct. 8 Joseph Eugene Ransdell of Iake Providence celebrates his 94th birthday today. Of those 94 years "The Senator" as he is affectionately called by all who know him, has spent 70 in East Carroll Parish. He is a familiar and beloved figure as he goes about his daily task, taking care of his large pecan orchard on Olivedell plantation, and the few remaining tracts of land he owns in Elmwood community named for the plantation on which he was born in 1858. Charles P.

Greco, bishop of Alexandria, In writing the foreward for the biography of Ransdell's life, as written by Adras Laborde of Alexandria, entitled "A National Southerner: Ransdell of Louisiana" begins with Longfellow's familiar lines, "Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime: and, departing leave be hind us footprints on the sands of time." Other great and illustrious men have lived in East Carroll but no other has ever reached the pinnacle of fame and esteem as that enjoyed by Joseph Ransdell. Ransdell spent 32 years in Congress, 34 in the house of Representatives and 18 In the Senate. But Ransdell's greatness to the people of this area was that upon his retirement from Washington, D. C. bodies, he did not lose interest and touch with mankind.

He has forged steadily on, speaking, writing, and contacting those in authority, doing his best for Louisiana and America and for all mankind. Ransdell's Elmwood Planation or community, named for his boyhood home near Alexandria, where he was born the son of John and Amanda Terrell Ransdell, has been parceled out In 40, 60, and 80 acre tracts to tenant farmers, proving his love for the soil and his interest in the betterment of mankind. Marcus E. McBride, East Carroll Parish administrator of the Farm Security pays the Senator this tribute: "East Carroll will always owe a debt of eratitude to Senator Rans- delL He gave opportunity to many poor farmers who otherwise would still be share croppers. Their success stands as a monument to Mr.

Ransdell and the encouragement he gave those worthy people." Senator Ransdell has been a Anights of Columbus for more than 40 years and a member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Lake Providence for the 70 years of his residence here.

Voters Can Study Amendments In Many Ways The Louisiana voter who seeks to understand the 34 proposed constitutional amendments to be voted on November 4 can study them in a number of ways, the Public Affairs Research Council stated today. 1. He may read the amendments themselves which, exclusive to titles and ballot wordings, add up to some 47,000 words and take eight hours of the average reader's time. The eight hour's reading, PAR added, would not include time checking the original con-stutution to see what changes these amendments involve.

2. He may read the articles on the amendments presently being carried serially in a number of Louisiana newspapers. 3. He may listen to discussions of the amendments over the air. Some radio stations are broadcasting such a series, the council said.

4. He may read the "Voter's Guide to the Amendments" to be published by the PAR council on Friday. This booklet can be read in about one hour. The guidebook includes, not only a digest of each amendment, but background material and pro-and-con arguments. Advance orders for the booklet already are arriving at PAR offices in Baton Rouge, "the council's public information division stated, pointing up the need of the average voter for a brief and simple explanation of the amendments.

Louisiana's constitution, by far the longest state constitution in the nation, contains some 137,000 words, the council stated, compared to the of more than half of the state constitutions in the UaiUd States. The proposed 34 amendments alone add up to three times as many words as the entire state constitution of more than half of the states, the council said. To help the voter through the nearly 50,000 words of the amendments and the technical terminology, the non partisan research organization has published the third of its brief, popular handbooks for citizens, stated PAR's public information office. Advance orders for the "Voter's Guide to the Amendments" may be sent to Box 927, Baton Rouge. One to 49 copies are ten cents each; 50 to 99, nine Cents each, and 100 or more, eight cents each.

An enemy shell exploded very close to the bunker on which John was working, and he was killed instantly." Governments Cotton Estimate Increased New York, Oct.

8 Cotton futures broke as much as $4.10 a bale today as the Department of Agriculture raised its ideas on the 1952 cotton crop by 524,000 bales compared with its forecast of a month ago. Heavy selling came through commission houses and hedging by dealers. Recurrent rallies were feeble and met more selling, although some deliveries were up $1 a bale from lows of the day at the close, on short covering. Final prices were 85 cents to $3.95 a bale lower, with nearby October contracts showing the sharpest decline. The Agriculture Department estimated the cotton crop as of Oct.

1 at 14,413,000 bales. Traders at the most had looked for a slightly higher figure than the September official report of 13,889,000 bales. Many thought that it would be a little lower. On the basis of the October report. Indicated cotton supply for the current season is about 17,100,000 bales.

If distribution reaches average ideas of around 13,800,000 bales this would leave a carryover of 3,300,000 bales on July 31 next, compared with stocks of 2,745,000 bales carried over at the previous end-season. Dealers noted that the decline in prices may stimulate holding movement among producers to bolster the market or increase entries of cotton into" the government loan. This could create tightness in the free market supplies of the staple, even though the overall supply might be adequate, dealers observed. So far producers generally have sold the new crop freely. Although the crop is expected to be smaller than last year's, the Census Bureau reported gin-nings to Oct 1 were ahead of last year at 5,715,858 running bales.

The large ginnings were attributed to an early opening of cotton this year and favorable weather for rapid harvesting operations. POSTED NOTICE Dewey Lee Clark, 18, son of Mrs. C. L. Clement, Rayville, La.

ARCHIBALD NEWS After typing the letter and the reply, I decided that it was too long to take all that column space in the paper just for PTA publicity. Anyway, I know all of you who are really Interested will be at the meeting Tuesday night October 14 to hear all about what we are doing so it will keep until then.

Don't forget the date October 14th. I guess Paul just couldn't take it. He came last night with his first bad cold. The poor fellow has been upset because he had to do most of his talking. I suppose he will be ready to acknowledge that having to do ALL of the talking at our house is an exhausting chore.

Sunshine has been having a fling at seeing just what goes on in the Federal Court Room. Oh, no! She didn't have to sit on the inside and look out she was invited to be on the sidelines until further orders were received. You can believe it or not, but, this is one time the word Go' had an unpleasant taste' in her mouth. She said she didn't have time for Jury duty. Aren't we ladies coming up in thia part of the Parish? This makes twice we have had a lady from Ward Four called over that way.

Mrs. Watson's mother, Mrs. if cCul-ler, took a trip last week. At least that is what I heard. However, I believe she would have stayed with her other daughter, Mrs.

Walter Thompson if they hadn't come for her because she was needed there. Mrs. Thompson is not doing so well. She is doing too much I expect. Now if you want to have an electric pump installed a couple of fellows who really knows how it's done I have two to recommend.

Just remember Jack Prewitt is good, but IF you are easily embarrassed, DON'T ask him. I have heard. that necessity was the mother of invention, but Jack goes out of his way INVENTING necessities. Gets the job done but Brother! (Paul is the efficient helper). If ever a Church needed warming up, is Was Little Creek Monday night.

If our red faces had all been present there would have been ample heat for the whole thing. We didn't find out until the last minute that the Butane tank was empty. Imagine how we felt with that sudden drop in temperature! We had a wonderful program, I for one, was as proud as a peacock over the very way Don Chapman handled the business meeting. Even if we did have a cold welcome, the wonderful message that Lael had written and Don chose to read was enough to warm anybody's heart and I'm sure their physical chilliness was forgotten. Believe it or not, but, this was one time that a cold spell was a real success as an Ice-breaker.

Tou should have heard those young folks chatter and giggle. There were 68 of them. The old voice box is perking up fine. The silence really works. I'm sure 111 have a load of news when I get out on the loose again.

Who says a sick larynx can't get a get-well card? This one did and from a swell person at that. Thanks a lot Mrs. Roberts! It was not only a pretty one, but, the sentiment hit the spot After forty-odd years (and they say I spoke my first word at eight months) I know the poor old thing was grateful to the Dr. that told me to give it a well deserved rest.
