HAITFAX COUNTY'S BANKING
FACILITIES.

Twelve years ago there was not a
banking institution of any kind In
Halifax county. Now there are Tour
banks in successful operation-one in
Scotland Neck, one in4-Weldon, one in
Enfield and one IN Littleton.
Twelve years ago persons who did
business enough In this county to need
the services Of bank were placed at a
great disadvantage. 1t was generally
believed then that there could not be
sufficient deposits at any place in the
county to Justify the establishing OF
bank. Just ten years ago the Scotland
Neck bank was opened and in few
years the Weldon bank followed, then
the Enfield bank, then Littleton and
now steps are being taken to open
national bank at Weldon also.
The deposits in the four banks al
ready doing business In the county
amount to as much as $500, 900, and
the facilities for doing business IN Hal
fax county can not be surpassed by any
county in the State that has no larger
towns than Halifax. It Is noteworthy
that two years ago when the county
issued $l5,O 900 in bonds they were all
taken up BY one OF the county's banks
the Bank of Weldon.
These banks, besides being great
convenience to the people in matters
of business are all prospering as fnan-
cial institutions, and Their excellent
management speaks we'll for the bus
mess enterprise of the gentlemen who
have them in charge.
Halifax county offers many advan-
tages to persons who wish to invest
capitol here in enterprises of various
kinds, and in its banking facilities
it ranks with the best.

life-saving crew, met with an accident
that endangered his life In more ways
than one. The ice was thin, but with
good wind there was little danger to the
flying craft until the increasing wind al
most sent her on her nose.
To prevent this Latham crawled for
ward to haul in the jib. About that time
the scooter struck an ice hummock at
the rate OF q mile a minute. and Laham
found himself sailing grandly across the
bay in a sitting posture that was any
thing but comfortable owing to the fric-
ton.
The impetus kept Latham going for a
quarter of a mile. and ne was heartily
tired Of his trip. when a new danger pre-
scented itself. That was in the extreme
thinness OF the ice which was safe enough
for a sailed sled travelling mile min
ute, but dangerous for man who tarried
too long In one spot.
There was nothing 10 do but crawl, all
sprawled out. and Latham did that for a
mile and a half before he was rescued.
Other life savers, who had been watch
ing him, darted out In their swift "scoot-
ers." and he was picked up on the wing
by one Of them and hurried 10 shore.
Latham was almost unconscious when

THE ROYAL MADSOLEUM
Where the Late Queen Will Rest,
beside Her Husband.

v
beside Her Husband.
Within sight of Windsor Castle, in the
grounds of Frogmore House, stands the
royal mausoleum built by Queen Victoria
for the Prince Consorts burial place. In
the house close by, her mother, the Ouch
ess of Kent, lived till her death, few
months before that of Prince Albert. She.
too rests in a mausoleum at Frogmore.
The building erected by the Queen for
her husbands tomb is one of the most
beautiful of its kind. It's interior is dec
grated in the Italian style, with exceed
ing richness, colored marbles, white statu-
airy marble bronze ornamentation and mo-
safes, all being of the costliest descrip-
ton. The Queen shrank from the thought
of her beloved Albert, who was by nature
bright and joyous, resting in the dark
crypt beneath St. Georges Chapel which
George III had designed for the tombs of
his family.
Several years were spent by the Queen
in celebrating. the details of the splendid
mausoleum. 1t has been guarded with alb
soIute privacy. On the anniversary of
the Prince Consort's death year after year
the royal family gathered in seclusion
around the massive sercophagus under the
octagonal lantern growing the building.
The touching inscription indicates the
Queens wish to be laid herself to rest in
the mausoleum. 1t is as follows:
