The New Bank Building

Wepresent to ourreaders this week
the likeness of the new Bank Build
ing rs it Will appear when fully com
pleted. The officers and directors
of the First National Bank are al-
ways up to the times. The room
which they have been using for the
last four years has become too small
for the bulk of business they have
been called upon to transact. They
are now erecting n business block un-
der the direction of W. ii. G. Hoffman
& Sons of Williamsport, on tho Bow
er lot. The banking room will be at
the corner, measuring 2l feet front
"a o7 ZEE sep, with
by II feet near the centre OI the roc -
The front part of this room will DE
used for banking business and the
back part for the Directors room.
The room will be supplied with all
the modern conveniences. The other
part of the building will be divided
into offices and store room.
The First National Bank OF Mid
dleburgh was organized ouly four
years ago and has met with phc-
nomeual success rs business has been
increasing every year since it was or
gauized. The officers and directors
desire to accomodate their customers
in the best manner possible. If busl-
ness continues toincrease in the same
ratio after they are in the new build
ing, it will almost be necessary to i'll
crease the capital to S75, 900 in order
to keep pace with the increase OF
business.
We know that our many readers
will appreciate the newspaper enter
prise that gives to them, ut this early
date, picture of the building which
will be the most handsome structure
in the town.

New Berlin Commencement.

The cessation of the rainy weather
was welcome change to tho many
who were eagerly awaiting the time
when New Berlin Commencement
should begin. On last Friday and
Saturday evenings the anniversary
exercises of the two literary societies
were held. Large numbers of people
were present from the surrounding
towns and country. On Sunday
morning Rev. j, G. Reeser of Hagers-
town, Md, preached most excellent
and appropriate sermon to the Y. Nj.
Q. A. In the evening DR.. Gobble
preached the Baccalaureate sermon
to the graduating class. He utilized
this opportunity for presenting many
salient points. On Monday afternoon
the Library Association of the Excel
sior Literary Society held their an
niversary. In the evening the large
audience and more especially the A.
lumni, were edited by the scholarly
and mastery address by Rev. John
T.. Bone, 80, Oneonta, n. Y. On
Tuesday morning the Neocosmian
Literary Society held Book recep-
ton which was very pleasant fea-
ture of the commencement. In the
evening Emerson Collins, ESQ, q
noted barrister of W'msport, main
tanned his excellent reputation as a
fluent talker in his address before the
literary societies. The Alumni held
their business meeting on Wednes-
day morning and banqueted at high
noon. The Glass Day exercises were
held in the afternoon and the gradu-
ating exercises in the evening. The
commencement was a decided sue
cess. The number of people attend
ing these exercises is larger than that
of any similar institution in Penna.
The commencement closed with the
Presidents reception.

Defend the Soldiers Pensions"

The NetrS Item takes exceptions
to our statement concerning the
suspension of the names of Allen
Hassinger of Globe Mills and Phil
lip Spaid of Middlebargh from the
pension rolls. The fact that they
have been suspended has not been
denied and we have no apologies to
make for our statement. The tac-
ties employed to suspend these old
soldiers from the pension rolls is of
no consequence since the result is
as disastrous i'll one case rs in the
other. Even if the pension depart
ment is willing to pay $500 to Mr..
Spaid, the fact that he has been re-
ported and his pension tampcred
with is an evidence that the pension
department is willing to stoop to help
private eitizens in their vengeance
and malice against the brave and
loyal soldier. No man who is friend
to a soldier will report him, aud the
pension department knows that as
soon as they net on such reports, they
are ASSISTING an individual in wreak
ing vengeance upon personal enemy
Such a policy is worthy of the con.
demnation of every loyal citizen.

of the pension cases mentioned
but we know of hundreds of case.

tion was approved by the Burgess.
Last week when all the members of
the council were present, 3 members
voted to approve the minutes and 3
to disapprove the minutes of the

deadlock. So the people are Mt loss
