BETTER PRoTECTIoN.-The Waterville Ma
tional Bank which came so near being robbed
last week has at last taken steps to protect itself
having just closed contract with the Morris
& Ireland Safe Company, through their agent
Mr.. David Mcclure, foi new burglar proof
safe and time lock with all the modern i'm
provements. Burglars will hereafter have to
turn their attention to other places than Wa
terville, as all the banks there are now project
ed with the very best of burglar proof work. 1t
is a lamentable fact that there are many other
banxs in this state that are needing better pro-
lection We are in hopes they will see their
position of danger and strengthen their protec-
tons and we shall have no occasion the chroni-
Gle further bank robberies in this state.
