S. G. WICKERT.
A Successful Hotel Keeper and
Business Man.

In every settlement Of civilization
whether village, town or city-the point
to which the thoughts of 1.-THE way -faring
man usually 90 forth the first is the
hotel or caravansary, where the needs of
his inner being may be satisfied and
solace be given to the keen cravings of his
appetite. Human nature is the same the
world over, and go where you will the
fact is apparent that unless mortal's
hunger and thirst are satlated that indi-
viduaJ will scarcely ever become lovable
citizen. And, therefore, it is pleasure
for any body to find in his travels hther
or thither bright, cheerful and well-kept
inns and saloons, where the hand Of well
come is extended to all alike, and its
choicest benefits conferred upon every one
without stint or curtailment. Such hap
PLY exist in Carroll county, as they in
deed, exist in undiminished glory over the
fair face of our beloved State-thc hwdof
oysters, terrapins and edibles fit to please
the palates of princes.
Born in Carroll county, Mr.. S. c.
Wickert has resided in Westminster for
% years, during which he has gradually
gained the best wishes of everybody brought
in contact with his kindly nature, The
owner Of the first National Hotel and res
taurant, where the most tempting meals
are served replete with every dcIicacy and
luxury, he is born caterer to the we'll
being Of his fellow-man, having it seems
been in the hotel business all his life.
In conjunction with his restaurant
we'll equipped and stocked saloon is at the
disposal of the public, where the finest OF
domestic and imported wines, wbiskies
and cigars are on sale; also thai famous
brand of beer, Bartholomay, is always on
draught cool and sparkling and served by
most courteous gentleman.
Mr.. Wickert is popular socially and
affiliates with the Masonic frateroi.y. In
politics Mr. Wickert is a DemocTa,. and
his popularity among the people rgSolted
in his election to the Office Of S"cnIl IN
1889 by the handsome majority o. 593.
He made an excellent officer.

The stability of its commercial interests
is entirely dependent upon the policy and
condition of its banks. Judged by those
standards, Westminster ranks with many
of the larger cities, and is fortunate in
having among her fduciary institutions
one that is conducted upon sound, con-
sentative, yet public spirited basis.
The First National Bank was estab-
lished in 1865, and is now transacting
business upon its Second charter from the
U. S. Government, thus placing to its
credit more than 33 years of an unblem-
ished business career. 1t has remained
mistaken from its foundation during the
panicy times which tried mems souls,
while it saw many seemingly sound insti-
buttons stranded against the rocks of
failure
Year after year since its inception, it
has steadily won and retained the conf
dence of all who have had business with
it, for by fair dealing and careful business
methods it has protected alike the inter-
ests of patrons and stockholders. Its Ca
reer has been one of marked success, and
it is certainly the greatest evidence Of its
solidity to say that during all of the past
thirty-three years, the First National
Bank has remained as firm as adamantine
rock.
The authorized capital stock is $l25,
600: the surplus fund $50, 900, and I'M
divided provided profits, 81, 315.
The bank building is one of the elegant
structures in the city; is fitted up with the
most modern fire and burglar proof vault
The policy of the bank is nodded by a
Board of Directors, whose reliability and
honor is unquestioned in all quarters.
They are Granville S. Haines, William
Lawyer, Philip H. L. Myers, John l..
Reifsnider, David J. Roop, Samuel Roop,
Frederick Mehring, Jacob J. Weaver,
Jr., Ferdinand d. Schaeffer.
The officials are Granville S. Haines,
president; William Lawyer, Vice presi-
dent, and Geo. R. Gehr, cashier Much
of the actual management devolves upon
the cashier, Mr.. Geo. r. Gehr, who is
most admirably adapted to the business by
natural aptness, long experience and
thorough knowledge Of men.
Every man connected with the official
directory has achieved success by the
sheer force of merit and their high personal
character inspires universal confidence.
The correspondents of the bank are the
First National, Baltimore; the Chase Ma
tional, New York city. They do gen
eral banking business and solicit collec
tiOns.

CENTRAL HOTEL.
A Hostelry Well-Kept and Replete
With Every Comfort

Out in the world jostled among stran-
gers, anxious and worried with business
complications, the travelling man learns to
appreciate the care and hospitality which
marks the true host of comfortable no.
tel, which sheds contentment upon the
tired soul and brings him rest though he
be ga stranger in ii strange land.
Travellers who are attracted hither will
find an excellent place to stay at the Cen
trail Hotel Westminster. This house is
ii cosy three-story brick, pleasantly 10
Gated about midway between the cour;
house and the postoffice, on the corner Of
Main and Centre streets, its principal ell
frances being 169-17l-l73 Els
Main street. and is provided with every
modern convenience-electric lights, heat
and baths-for the benefit of the public
The house has about tYenty comfortable
rooms, supplied with tidy appointments in
the shape Of neat furniture, snowy bed
linen, etc. while the table fairly groans
under its array of edibles fresh from the
markets. MIR. Herbert j.. Bowers, the
genial proprietor, is native of Harris
burg, Pa, where he formerly plyed his
trade as an expert bridge builder. After
engaging in the hotel business at New
York, he came to Westminster a year
since, and assumed control of this house,
which he has thoroughly renovated and
reftted. He recognizes the vital fact
that what the travelling public mostly want
in hotel accommodations are neatness,
cleanliness, comfort and well-cooked and
relishable meals; supervised by gentle
man anxious to do everything in his power
to enhance the ease of guests. Mr. Bow
ers runs a free omnibus to and from the
depot, and has likewise good stabling ac-
commodations at his hotel on the Centre
street side. He affiliates with the indie
pendent Order of Mechanics
Mr.. Bowers conducts an excellent CHAR
ROOM in connection with hotel work,
where the choicest products of distilleries
are furnished thirsty citizens at prices in
keeping with the times

Friend after friend departs,

"Friend after friend departs,
Who has not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here an endr'
When death enters a home the hearts
of the loving are crushed, and life, it
seems, can ne er be bright again! But
"Old Time is kindly nurse, and binds
up the wounds which heal at last. So,
memory is the truest friend after all-and
memory is kept alive, in no small degree,
by the carvers of stone and engravers of
names thereon! From time immemorial,
all nations, ancient and modern, civilized
or savage, have considered respect for the
dead virtue and burial places as sacred.
The Egyptians hewed sepulchres out of
solid rock, and built great pyramids as de-
positories for the dead The Romans
honeycombed the hills of Italy with cata-
combs, in the inches of which they placed
the bodies of the departed.
In later times, beautiful site is Sc
lected by each community for a burial

eteries are made beautiful indeed, by the
artistic pieces of carved marble and gran
lite furnished by Mr.. John Beaver.
His father, the late Andrew Beaver,
established the business some FORTY wears
ago, Mr.. Beaver succeeding his father
at his death
Every cemetery for a considerable dis
lance contains shafts and tablets of pol
ished marble and granite which bears his
stamp, and that of his father and his
grandfather, who was engaged in the same
long before the war.
The work done by Mr.. Beaver is relia-

the sales are in keeping with the financial
depression of the times. In his ware
house he has some very beautiful monu

he invites inspection.
