Our Music Glass Last Friday evening
Prof Elmorc met his class and gave the sec.
md lesson IN the course.
His method IS so strikingly new and thor.

I'd Of long ago that the most disnterested
visitor to the class room cannot fail to see
that his class will move up In the line of
progress, and by close application, there
must he most gratifying results.
Individual questions to the youngest pupil
rs well as the most advanced one in the class
Is one OF the features. while in the old school
it was follow us best you can.
1t is much to he regretted TINT the class is
not Il larger one for it is time that we wake
up from our Rip Van W,nkle sleep and real

and when 1t lacks this element it becomes
mere sound. Eilage Choirs and one may
safely say, many City Choirs cannot read !:

FAILED TO ORG Mr.. w. B. Barnes,
general agent of the Baltimore Building and
Loan Association spent several days in our
town with the object of organizing \ local
branch here. His chief endcayor was with
those more prominently connected with the
local association, recently closed. He failed
to secure the consent of sufficient number
to organize Il local board of directors and has
given up the attempt. We have carefully
examined the plan of this nssoc,otion and
find it t, be the best ever submitted to our
inspection and If there exists in our commu-
nifty need for this method Of small savings,
we have simply allowed our opportunity to
90 by. Without the aid and countenance OF
those whose experience in the local assOcia
ton placed them before our people MS being
best qualified to judge of its merits, it was
impossible to effect I'm organization and the
fact that the late local ran about four months
longer than it was at the beginning teiicYcj
1t would, caused such decided dissatisfaction
that those interested Us officers in it were
loathe to lay themselves liable to criticism in
any other. We regret the existence of that
condition of affairs, for VIC believe that only
by enforced payment Of sinai! sums at stated
periods may certain class Of people effect
a saving and TO this class the method of the
Building Association is not only the best bu,
the only one that is offered them. For this
