Hamilton, Hartford Road.-The finishing
touch was made on Tuesday night to Q new
institution in Baltimore county. Inc IT, H.
dents of the vicinities of Lake MonteDeilo
Lauraville and Hamilton having been 1nviteo
to Hamilton Hall for the purpose OF organizing
Savings Bank for the benefit OF the three
communities, met at the appointed hour ano
| by their acts finished the launching OF what L
| expected to be great success and certainty Z
| great benefit to the communities at large-Ine
Suburban Savings Bank of Baltimore county
The credit of the organization of this institu-
ton belongs solely to young and active law
| yer of Baltimore city who, while interested 10
what is known as the Lauraville Country CiuD'
| saw an opportunity of organizing such an IN
stitution, which promises to be thriving con-
| Germ. As there was no branch of any savings
bank in these communities be advanced the
idea of establishing such an institution ana
after having spread as widely as possible ms
| ideas relative to the bank, the meeting con-
summated the work by the election of the nine
| directors who are to serve the first year.
The articles of incorporation were signed by
| q great many residents of the three commhni-
ties as well as by several representative citl-
zens of Baltimore. Thispaper Will be RECORDED,
after which time the bank will be open FOR
depositors and it is hoped that the residents OF
Hamilton, as well as those OF Lauraville ana
Lake Montebello, will appreciate the good
work which has thus been started by lending
to the bank their hearty cooperation IN the
way of depositing their surplus earnings. :,
The gentlemen elected as directors are all
men of business capacity, good character and
integrity, and to them will be entrusted the
care and running of the concern for the first
year. They are Messrs. Charles II. Knox,
William MacAllister, John 81. Tames, Frank
Erdman, John Anthony, Christopher r. Wat
tenscheidt and G. b. Bradfeld.
Immediately after the election the directors
held meeting for the purpose of efiecting an
organization and electing officers. The follow
ing were unanimously chosen: President,
William MacAllister; vice-president, Charles
H. Knox; secretary and receiving teller, z. d.
Bradfeld treasurer and cashier, Joseph s..
MacWilliams attorney, Christopher r. Wat
tenscheidt. With q list of officers such
as these-all being men who will devote q
great deal of their personal attention to the en-
terprise-there is every reason to believe that
the outcome of the project will be most salts
factory.
Then, too, there is another thing which
would seem to be in favor of such move.
With population of between 1900 and 1000
scattered between the three communities it
would seem that an institution such as this
would be paying one. While there are sew.
eral building and loan associations within the
neighborhoods Of the proposed bank, the pow
ers and differences between the two cover quite
wide scope and there are no prospects Of any
friction between them. The growth of all
savings banks is q matter of history and some
of the leading institutions in Baltimore repre-
sent the largest of their kind in the country.
By opening the doors to small depositors it is
a means by which they are enabled to put
aside dollar on payday which otherwise
might be spent foolishly. Some of our
greatest men have said that thriftiness is one
of the best traits that young men can have,
and so the way is being opened up by which
han Ia ovYoo
ton of their earnings can do so knowing that
their money is secure.
OF course it is understood that all officers of
the bank who handle money will be bonded
and buglar insurance will be carried on money
which it may be necessary to retain In the SAFE.
It is, therefore, the wish and request of the
directors that the people of these communities,
as well as others who may be interested, give
to the bank their hearty CO. operation by depos-
iting any money which they may have to place
in an institution of this kind. II.

from this section of the county have been
absent from the columns Of THE UNION for the
past few weeks, but the same old regime is in
force. The farmers have harvested their wheat
and hay and had what is known in country
parance as good weather for harvest" The
oats was not so fortunate, many fields of them
being given copious showers from the clouds,
necessitating extra labor on the part of the
farmers. A number of our up-to-date farmers
rushed their oats into shelter before the rain
caught them, and human nature shows one OF
its lovely traits in their countenances when
they meet their less fortunate neighbors and
commiserate with them on their oats being
out in the rain
But such is the battle-ground of life-some
successful and some unsuccessful, and yet in
the end the human race is supposed to make
one grand, harmonious world. Will success or
non.success matter at that date? Will the
great fnancers, like Russell Sage and Alfred
Belt, who recently passed away and whose
deaths were discussed by the press of two con-
tinents cause as great sensation in that re-
mote kingdom, where the souls of the departed
dwell after dissolution, as in this mopey. bound
world2 It would seem the God Of Mann
mon" rules us politically, socially and, might
add. religiously, for nothing can succeed with
out the needful cash.

sister state may win the honor of being queen
of love and beauty.
