SEVERAL shares Of stock in the
Monongahela Valley Bank were sold
on the bank steps Monday afternoon
by Mr.. Frank Cox. As general
thing they brought a very fair
price. Mr.. Alex Hess was the heavi-

prices given are satisfactory to the
bank people and speak eloquently OF
the regard which the public has for
its stability and general excellence

second to none in the country and
in consequence they are highly ap-
preciated.

he can to strengthen the stability oil

terprises of a laudable nature; take
