The heavy northeast rain on last

AS was noticed in the ENTERPRISE
last week, the people of the Eastern
Shore are soon to have bank con-
veniently located for their use. The
solicitors efforts to secure subscrip-
tions to the capital stock have been
successful in this town. The bank
will be established upon the national
system, with $4,000 capital The
value of the stock shares is $500 each.
This is home enterprise and the
people all over the Peninsula have
the opportunity of taking interest
and subscribing to the capital stock
Mr.. E. A. Herbst, who comes to us
from Baltimore, with undoubted
credentials, is canvassing the Shore
for the purpose of meeting the rep
resentative citizens and giving them
the opportunity OF subscribing to the
stock. With the hearty cooperation
of all, there is no reason why we
shall not have successful bank.
On Friday night last, at $3.50 o'clock.
an attempt was made to break into
the dwelling of Mrs. Julia Chandler,
on Kerr street. The villain made a
very daring attempt. Having tried
all of the window blinds carefully
and failed to find any unfastened, he
proceeded to an out door on the rear
of the building and tried to force it
open. His thrusts upon it were so
loud and continued as to awake the
residents of the street for hundreds
of yards distant. Mrs. Chandler was
awake from the first but did not
think it necessary to give alarm till
the thrusts upon the door became SO
violent, then she called the neighbors
to her assistance and the robber ran
off A secret patrol will see to it that
such demons who interfere with
peace and property and attempt to
break the doors OF dwellings in the
dead hours OF the night will find
themselves behind the bars, or worse.
