Ter began business. About l$2 900 WAS re-
ceiycd on deposit the first day and the dis
counts were gratifying in extent. We feel
assured that the convenience that will be
thus afforded our people will be appreciated
and this House viii; find itself repaid for its
venture. Until they hayc had the expert

that they will shortly receive from an expert
bank accountant and some practice we have
the strongest confidence in their ability and
purpose to conduct smooth and perfect
business in all its details

DEATH OF SAMUEL MoTTER AT ripe
old age. in the full possession of his faculties,
esteemed for his many excellent parts and
respected for his courage and manness, Mr..
Samuel Motter. editor and publisher Of the
Emmitsburg Chronicle died ut his home in
that place on Thursday aft emo N, 2lst, inst.
The deceased was born in Emmitsburg in
1921 and resided there during his entire life.
| He was a college bred man. having first en-.
| tered the college at Mercersburg, Pa, after
wards going to Princeton, by which college
he WAS graduated. His literary taste chung to
him and he was close reader, giving attrn-
ton to the most elevated order of literature
/ he was beyond all possible question the most
polished writer in Western Maryland jour
nalism his writings were pure and classical
dic,lon, wholly devoid Of the modern sensa-
tlonal in style, but viiilc broad and master
full. In his journalistic debates, he was cour-
teous but uncompromisng and when met by
harshncss or unseemngly jest, his satire was
piercing rs some Of the more thoughtess
BRETHREN who aspired TO superior qualities
llaye occasion to remember. In our person
al communications with Mr.. Molter, we
learned to love and admire h i'm despite his
infrm,y of deafness, he was to US one of the
most charming and interesting conversation
alists interested in our well being, liberal in
his views and accomplished in the arts of III
Producing agreeable and pertinent topics, an
hour spent With him was always recalled
with special pleasure.
1t is to be dcplorcd that not until 1879, or
when he was nearly sixty years old, he emit
cred the field of journalism. Had he turn
ed his thoughts in that direction in his youth
we can readily conceive of the exalted sta
ton to which he would have attained, for he
was not only fluent and correct in style but
was logical in his deductions and his meth,
dds of thought were exact.
| He has done more to elevate the tone of
journalism than any writer IN the county
since We have been one of its citizens and we
shall on this as well as on account of our
| high personal regard for him, dcplore his dc
parturc from among us.
