THE OLD BERKELEY Sd y
INGS BANK.

A notice, published in our adj
vertising columns, that a 10 per
cent. payment on the capital stock
would be paid to stockholders on
the presentation of certificates, in.
duced us to interview the trustees,
Messrs. Joseph III. Shaffer and
Chas p. Matthaei, and ascertain
how they were progressing in the
settlement of the affairs of the
Bank. From them we learn that
at the tim 0 Of the assignment the
Indebtedness of the Bank to it's
depositors for certificates of de-
post drawing interest, and on
open accounts, amounted to over
$4,000.
Since their appointment as trus-
tees, they have collected and paid
off all the indebtedness of the
bank to its depositors, amounting
to S43, 044, and have collected and
paid to the stockholders about
$4,000, being 70 per cent of the
capital stock; and it is their opin-
ion that they will be able to pay
the balance Of 30 per cent. on the
capital stock
The greater portion of the above
amounts, they inform US, were
collected by them personally, with
out suit, and the expense attend
ing the settlement of the Banks
business has been comparatively
small.
When it is considered that at
the time the bank closed its doors
and made an assignment, many of
the stockholders would have will
ingly taken so cents ON the dollar
for their stock, and the general
outside impression was that it
would not pay more, the success
full manner in which the trustees,
Messrs. Joseph H.. Shaffer and
Chas. p. Matthaei, have settled
the business thus far, is most ex-
traordinary. They have certainly
shown and exercised soundbusi
ness judgment that must com
mend itself to the stockholders
and also the public.

Over fifteen hundred bills were Ill
PRODUCED in the House Monday and

into some Junk shop as waste paper.
Over twenty bills have been intro
duced in the House to abolish the
Internal Revenue system. Those
who favor its abolition will no doubt
combine with the high tariff men to
defeat any reduction of tariff duties.
Mr.. Cox, of New YORK, introduc-
ed in the House bill to reduce to
one cent the postage on drop letters.
Also, a bill for the enforcement of
the eight hour law.
Congressman Wilson, of this Dis
trict, has offered a number of bills,
among them one which directs the
Solicitor of the Treasury TO sell the
arsenal property at Harper's Ferry,
and another for the removal of the
restrictions and taxes on the sale Of
tobacco 10y the farmers who raise it.
General Golf offered a bill appro-
priating the sum of So $50, $40 to pro-
vide for the payment to dealers in
and manufacturers of tobacco in
such sums of money as have been
and may be found due them on
claims psesented for rebate of taxes
under the provisions of section four
of the act OF March 81, 1883.
Another bill by the same gentle
man, restores the tax on imported
wool to the amount which prevailed
before the last reduction; third ap-
propriates $4,000 for court house

A CONSTITUENT of q Pennsylva-
mia Congressman has asked him
to introduce bill which shall
provide for the payment of pen
sions in full at once. The consti
tuent wants the limit of the age of
pensioners to be fixed at rs years
and each one to be paid now all
that he would be entitled to dur
ing the period between his pres
ent ags and the age of rs. The
percentage of persons who live to
that age is very small, as the re-
cords Of any life insurance compa-
ny will show. The percentage is
still smaller among those whose
constitutions have been injured
by the wounds or hardships of
war. The average age of pension
ers should not be put at more
than sixty years. This scheme
provides for what would be the
equivalent of pensions for fifteen
years after they are in their
graves. The scheme would be a
good thing for pension agents if
it were adopted. 1t looks very
much like pension agents pro-
ject.

OUR FARMERS.

Generally speaking, the farmers
of Berkeley county ought to be in
q better condition, financially, than
for years past. The wheat crop
last summer was good one, and
the corn crop has been fair aver
age one. tits true the prices OBJ
tanned for these cereals have not
been as good as in former years,
but this has been more than made
up in the extraordinary crop of
clover seed raised in this county
this year. We think we are with
IN bounds in saying that the crop
OF clover seed has added at least
$40. 900 to the products of the
county for 1883. It has been
worth almost as much as the
wheat crop. But, notwithstand-
ing these facts, the local money
market is rather tight This is
caused by the fact that many far
mers have used all their surplus
money, and many have borrowed
from the banks, for the purpose of
buying stock cattle to feed this
winter. In this way they will get
rid of their surplus unmarketable
corn at good deal better price
than they could hope to do other
wise. When these cattle are rea-
dy for the market, as most of
them will be in the early spring,
the money invested in them will
come back with a handsome profit
and money matters will be easy
again.

Obituary.

Died, after a few days illness, at the
residence Of her son, Jacob f. Lemen,
near Bedington, Berkeley county, w.
Va, on Tuesday, Nov. IL, 1898. Mrs.
sallle +. wife OF Robert Lemen, IL the
9th year Of her age. She was the eld-
est daughter OF the late Jacob +. Light.
one OF the founders Of the N. i. Church
at Bedington. She became Christian
in early life, and member OF the
church Of her father. Her mother died
when she was quite young, and she was
placed under the care OF her uncle Peter
and aunt Mary, whe resided at the Fer
ry opposite Williamsport, Nd. Great
were her advantages, in a religious
point OF view, under the charge Of these
eminently pIous relatives, whose lives
were devoted to the cause CT Christ,and
closed in triumphant faith. Their god
ly precepts and holy example inspired
her To walk in their footsteps, and she
has now gone to share the same reward
with them in the heavenly home. She
was the mother of eight children, Of
whom five sons and two daughters sur
yive her. The writer CT this humble
tribute to her memory, was her pastor
from 1912 to 1910, and Witnessed her ar
fectionate devotion to her family and TO
the church during these and many subse
quent years. Her husband and chill
dren have great cause for gratitude to
God that shs was SO long spared to
them, and that she left u llIc-record so
worthy of emulation. Her precious
memory can hardly fail to draw them
to the Saviour she loyed.so much. In
deed, some OF them have already learn
ed to love Him as she did, and / trust
not one of them Will lie missing in the
day when He shall come to make up his
jewels. The sermon at the funeral of
the deceased was preached by Rev. Mr..
keller, pastor of the Lutheran Church
of Williamsport, from III Corinth. V. 8;
I'VE are confident, say, and willing
rather to be absent from the body, and
to be present with the Lord Pre-
cious words. May the bereayed ones
grasp them by faith, and realize the
comfort and joy of knowing that thro'
parted now for awhile, they may, with
the grace of the Lord Jesus, meet their
loved one at last, and dwell with her
forever in His presence. J.T. WARD.
