fourth appearance and he is always re-

young ladies is a star in her profession. II
was fine program and, II we may Judge
BY the applause, highly appreciated by
the audience. The only fault found was
that there was not enough Of it.
For a long time the people OF this sec.
ton have felt the need OF a local savings
institution. From many different sources
this matter has been urged upon the d.
reetors OF our National bank and by dis.
tlngEished and conservative individuals
whose interest is first In the support and
general welfare OF home enterprise. After
careful and scrupulous consideration OF
the question, the directors Of the bank the
tuil board being present, very recently
voted TO establish a savings department
In connection with the bank, to go into
operation April lst. The rules governing
this department are practically the same
as those oi any ordinary savings institu-
ton. Interest al the rate OF per cent an
nually will be allowed depOsItOrs, com
pounded Jan. lst and July 1st Of each year.
The HERALD heartily endorses the above
action taken by our bank and extends its
wishes for prosperous business in its re-
cent departure.
