On Sunday next. day upon which the
patrons OF the barber shops of Boston are
by the law of Massachusetts enabled and
permitted to rest, there will be in Bennett

of the old town for the purpose of "put-
ting themselves in line" with what Is
novel, progressive, and up.to-date in legis.
lation for BARRIERS.
The first of the proposed reforms" Ia to
be the elevation of the tonsorial trade, by
act of the Massachusetts Legislature, to
the status of a profession. The post-gradu.
ate BARRIERS are to be equipped with n
diploma based upon three years of active
apprenticeship with strop and razor, scis
sors and hone, curling tongs and singeing
iron. The Massachusetts Legislature is to
be petitioned further to appoint Board

ernors appointment, and to serve one, two,
and three years respectively. Each men,

they shall have deposited at least the
amount Of 80 per cent OF their capitals and shall
have issued bank notes against such deposit before
they shall be permitted issue the additional unse.

The explanation suggested by Mr.. Hill is prob
ably the right one. but it involves q repeal,
which Secretary Gage does not propose, of SO
much Of section 10. of the bank act of July IL,
1882, as declares that at time shall the total
amount of such notes issued by any such asso-
citation exceed 90 per centum of the amount ut

Elsewhere il tQis issue will be found the annual statement of the Home Building, Loan and Savings Association at the close of business December 31, lS96 It is gratifying to note at this time of apparent disintegration of building and loan associations that the Home Building X Loan Association of Pine Bluff is on truly solid foundation and in a very flourishing condition. This Association is more conservatively conducted than the ordinary associa- tion of its kind, and all of its securi- ties are gilt-edge and worth 200- cents on the dollar. The affairs of the Association have recently been checked up aud found 70. k, and thebooks or the company are open to the inspection of the stockholders at the office of the Secretary at all times. At the last annual meeting of the stockholders d dividend of IT percent was declared and paid, and its loans secured by mortgages on local realestate can be realized on to the fnllvalue of the loan at any time. There have been no fictitious values placed npon property upon which loans have been made by this Asso- eiation, and therefore it is as solid as the rocks of Gibralter This ex- eellent condition is dne to the careful and conservative managemement of its officers. all of whom are local citizens of good repute and financial standing, and who know a thing or two about values. Ne hope the Home Building and Loan Associa- tion will live on and forever.
