B. S. Fleming was in McCon-
nellsburg last week assisting his
brother Robert with his work in
the blacksmith shop. Brady said

well toward the last of the week.
In last weeks issue of the

Brown was lucky enough to get a
good position with the p. r. r.
people, but Jim met with quite
an accident while assisting some
ladies off the train at Johnstown,
for, in some way, he got couple
of his toes mashed and is home
again. He intends to go back as
soon as able.
James II. Fields has rented the
James Stevens farm near Fort

Sometime ago the ladies of our
town organized a Ladies Aid So
ciety and every two weeks they
meet to transact such business
as is required. The other night
they had some candidates for ini-

cording TO the bylaws, when
some mischieveous member
sprinkled some cayenne pepper
in the goats beard, which caused
some trouble before the meeting
was tysr.

FULTON COUNTY BANK.
February 24th Next, Nineteenth Annivers-
ary Of It's Founding. lis Career.


day of February next, will be the
nineteenth anniversary of the
Fulton County Bank. Prior there
to our people knew nothing of the
safety and convenience of a bank;
every one was his own banker,
and his pocket his only safety
against loss aud burglars. The
necessity for bank was long
felt and much talked of by busi-
ness people of the county, but not
until the summer of 1886, was
any definite action taken tosupply
this urgent want, when j. Nelson
Sipes, Esqr., by his energy and
determination, prevailed on SIX of
our most prominent citizens at
that time to JOIN him In the organ
ization of a bank, with the result
that on the Oath day of February,
1887, Fulton County Bank was
opened for business with David
B. Mace, Cashier. Mr.. Mace held
the position of cashier Z for years
when he resigned and removed to
Cham bersburg and resumed the
business of merchandising, which
was more in keeping with his
early training and habits. Mr..
Harvey Nelson wa, appC inted
Cashier to succeed Mr.. Mace, who
still continues to fill this position
to the satisfaction of all the pat
rons. Uniform fair and courte-
Gus treatment of every one having
business with the bank, has won
large measure of confidence and
patronage, and now the business
is beyond the capacity of their
present room, and they are at
present, we are informed, looking
around for a more commodious
and convenient building In which
to conduct their business. I'm
Immediately after becoming set
tied in more extensive quarters,
it is the intention to increase the
capital stock of the bank, and to
take in a number of additional
members.
For almost nineteen years Full
ton County Bank has been open
to the public for business, and
through the severe and trying
panic of 1898, and all the vicissl-
tudes and changes which that
number of years brings to every
community, it has stood firm and
stable, meeting every obligation
with the utmost promptness.
Had the promoters of Fulton
County Bank seen proper, they
might have organized 1t with Inn
itations on their liability for de-
posits, but having resolved to give
patrons the highest security for
their money, they have seen prop.

they are worth.

The Mayor was deeply incensed yesterday and
at the same tine greatly worried by Mr.. Os-

The whole situation was created by the state

this statement Mr.. Osborne said that many In

many had signed his petition. Mr.. Osborne de-
cared that inasrnuch Mr.. Jerome had the
support Of these he could not be expected,
in the natural course of events. to probe the
insurance scandals If elected. This deduction
was naturally blasted by Mr.. Jeromes state
ment yesterday that IL he elected he would
retain Charles E. Hughes and devote as much
time possible to convicting every Insurance
malefactor who came within reach of the law.
This not the end, however Mr.. Osborne
in connection with his insurance CRATER re-

came which caused Mcclellan to sit up and
