EMPIRE B. AND
|. ASSOCIATION
HAS RECEIVED ITS CERTIFICATE
OF AUTHORITY AND WILL
SOON OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

A certificate of authority has been
issued TO the Empire Building and
Loan Association. of this city. by Sam
uel v. Matthews, Commissioner of
Banking for West Virginia, and 1t will
soon be ready for business. ANY cit
izen OF Fairmont may become a stock
holder in this association. The value
Of each share is n hundred and thir.
ty dollars, to be paid in weekly install
ments Of rs cents per share. The
place and time Of payment will be an.
nounced later. Subscriptions may be
made through the secretary, Chas. w.
Evans, the attorneys. Showalter and
White, or the treasurer, ]. R. Linn.
The capital stock Of the association
consists Of 1900 shares, and it is be.
lieved that the entire amount will be
subscribed in a very short time.
The object Of the association is to
encourage industry, frugality and sys.
tematic savings of small sums, and
the loaning OF money to members for
the purpose of building or buying
homes. Perhaps no one class of proyi.
dent institutions in this country has
contributed more largely to the ma.
terfal welfare Of that portion of our
citizens dependent on a daily wage for
support than have building and loan
associations. Aside from the finan.
cial advantages derived by their
shareholders there is undoubtedly a
large Of what have been apt
ly termed the invisible assets" which
may be placed to their credit. First
among the advantages conferred is
that of providing a means whereby
the working man may save for home
building. 1t is almost a trulsm to say
that the community or State count
ing among its inhabitants the great
est portion of home owners contains
also the greatest proportion of pros.
porous, contented and conservative
citizens. The home owner acquires
a real and tangible interest in the
community and its welfare, as well as
an increased self-respect and more ele-
waited moral standard. He rises as
well in the esteem of the community,
and to a degree at least, attains eco
nomic independence. Thousands Of
homes have been acquired through
these associations by the working
men of the various occupations, and
their owners have become fixed parts
of their communities, thus making
themselves important factors in the
development of their surroundings.
us give our aid to this new indus
try in our midst, and make it not only
a benefit to the individual member or
stakeholder, but a factor for the i'm
provement of the city.

THE c GRIND.
Twelve Teams Now In Six Day Race
at New York.

at New York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The most ex-
citing sprint at the six day bicycle race
in Madison Square Garden occurred
when Tommy Hall took the planked
track to relieve Matt Downey. Hall
injected real ginger into the race and
after getting half a lap ahead laid low
OF his machine and sprlnted. The au-
dience, which had grown somnambu-
lent, suddenly awoke and nearly raised
the roof with its cheers. Try as he
would, however, Hall could not main
tain his lead. The crowd urged him
on, but the other riders were now
thoroughly awake, and they began to
bunch up again.
Opinion as to which will be the next
team to drop out seems to be centered
on the French one. Louis Trousselier
complained of a weak back, and his eff
forts to keep up with the others are
painfully apparent, especially at the
intermittent bursts of speed. Some
seemed to think that he will not last
the rest of the day. His team mate,
Docoup, also look tired and does. not
respond with very much alacrity when
his time for relieving comes.
The twelve teams are still running
very evenly, with about S67 miles each
to their credit.
