Louis l.. Zaun, of Hartford, Wis,
with others at Chester have made ar
rangements to open savings bank at
that place under the name of The
German Savings Bank of Chester, the
articles of incorporation of which ap-
pears elsewhere. Mr.. Zaun was in

appearance we judge that Chester is
at last about to obtain what it has
long stood in need of--a good reliable
bank, which will open for business in
about two months.
The entertainment given by the G.
A. r. and w. r. c., assisted by Mrs
Ida Ferris Waterman, Friday evening

a first-class entertainment. Mrs.
Waterman began the program with
several choice selections which were

elocutionist of no mean rank. Miss
Georgia Ling also gave fine recita-
ion and the violin solo by VIM. J.

the star attractions OF the evening,
the tableaus being very fine. The en-.
tertainment closed with the Colum-
bian march by the young ladies. All
the drills and marches were accom-
panied by special music on the violin
