Efforts are being made TO establish a
national bank at Youngsville, Warren
county. Cashier Morloch of the Sheffield
National Bank is the prime mover in the
enterprise and is meeting with encour-
agement. 1t is proposed to capitalize the
bank at S25 900 and the shares will be for
500 each.
This time year ago, winter was on
In earnest, its entrance being made with
great snow storm on Nov Is. A year
earlier, 1908, winter set in on NOV. Is,
and continued with scarcely break until
spring. Therefore the present pleasant

Greenvillo Record. no legislator has crit
cised the calling of the extra session.
Each will receive $500, 20 cents mile for
mileage, $50 for postage and 500 for sta

Uncle Sam will not advertise un-
called for letters any more. 1t cost too
much, so the money will be used in other
ways. If you wish you may see the
typewriter lists at the postoffice window,
but the newspapers will now receive none
of Uncle Sans cash for that. A brother
editor thinks this is hard luck, but since,
at the rate the government has been pay
ing for advertising these letters, a year =
run only amounts to about is cents, the
loss is not going TO break any of us up.
The old year is drawing TO close.
Less than four weeks remain. And they
are the best weeks of the year for the
mercantile business. The merchant who
does not advertise at this time is blind to
his own interests. 1t is none too early

last Wednesday received from J. II
Harpster, of Millersburg, Ohio, thre,
thoroughbred Angora goats. The CLAIM
is made for these animals that they viii
