their doors will be closed promptly at 3
o'clock. except ON Saturday. when they

therefore having business with these
banks will necessarily have to present
themselves before 3 o'clock. or on Satu--
days before o'clock. Many persons do
not realize that the hardest work of the
bank employees comes after the bank j..
closed to the public each day. when the
reports are to be made out and the bust

necessary for the employees of the two
Snow Hill banks to remain late at night
90 get their work up. and this has made

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

More convincing argument is
found i'm favor of the expedi-
ency of building first class
roads. i'm a single practical ex-
ample where good results have
been obtained, than in any
amount of discussion where
actual results are often exag-
gerated, and by the disappoint-
ments which occur in certain
instances, and retard the pro-
motion of model highways. The
advantages offered to the coun-
ties of Maryland by the recent
ly-enacted law for the state aid
To road-building, are inclining
county officials and residents to
avail themselves of the offer,
and the mention of one object
lesson in the town of Cambridge
demonstrating the greater sat
isfaction of macadam road over
other materials will show how
unwise it will be to allow the
opportunity to secure these state
funds to pass unappreciated.
Street building and repairing
in Cambridge had become a
more expensive item every year,
until finely the lately retired
Board of Commissioners, after
considering many plans of
street-building, decided to put
down a macadam road on the
most frequented street of the
town. They considered that to
meet the situation in this way
would mean a greater initial
expense, but would be cheaper,
besides giving much greater
satisfaction in traffic. The re-
suits have fully justified their
determination. In this work
the commissioners received free
of cost the assistance of Mr.. A.
N. johnson, highway engineer
of the Maryland Geological Sur
vey and were able to put down
a road which so far has met
with every requirement, and is
a great improvement over the
shell road it replaced. There is
now about six feet more of car
riage room than in the old
street, the road drains perfect
ly, it has a firmer resisting sur
face, it dries out more quickly
after a rain, and it is less ex-
pensive when its lasting quail
ties are considered.

ROBERT +. PATTIsoN, who
died in Philadelphia Monday,
was born in Quantico, Mary
land. and his native state joins
with Pennsylvania i'm lament
ing his untimely death. He
was a man of splendid charac-
ter, honest i'm purpose, and
fearless in speech and action.
He was twice elected governor
of republican Pennsylvania,
where his strong personality,
and his well known honesty
and integrity, turned republi-
can majority of hundreds of
thousands into a large plurality
for the democratic ticket. This
was in itself no mean triumph,
for it was confidence i'm the
man that won the splendid
victories. He stood for reform,
and his appeal was made to
the best there is i'm human
nature. He belonged to the
very highest type of American
manhood, and while his tri-
umphs and successes were con-
fined to his own state, he, never
theless. occupied a conspicuous
place in the nations eye.
With conviction born of knowl-
edge of the man, and with per-
feet truth and candor, we can
say of Robert +. Pattison, as
the British bard has so recent
ly said of his imperialistic
leader, "Once on a time there
was a man"
