MANCHESTER BANK.

To get correct idea of the general
conditions of community one has only to
look at bank statement Its deposits tell
of the thrift, industry and business ability
of the people, and speak volumes for the
resources of the country from which in the
last analysis all wealth or savings must
come. To show, therefore, the excellent
economic and agricultural conditions char
acteristic of Manchester and its surround
ing country prevailing banking facilities
must be Investigated and their reports con-
suited, and for this all important reason a
review of the standing and condition Of
the Bank of Manchester is herewith given.
This bank was organized under the laws
of the State of Maryland in 1891, and
opened its doors for business April 18th of
the same year. Its inception gave to
Manchester independence in banking facl-
tiles and introduced conditions which con-
suited the convenience of the people and at
the same time fostered closer relations be-
tween the bank and its patrons. These
advantages were at once recognized and
appreciated, and the institution became the
popular depository for the neighboring
country The report of the condition OF
this institution under date of Nov. 80,
1906, reveals prosperous financial enter
prise, measured by the infallible tests of
the undivided profit account and total de-
posits.

No stronger arguments could be set forth
nor no inducements more inviting than are
contained in the above figures, and they
tell of popularity well merited, of progress
surely achieved, Of the wisdom and ability
of the banks executive officers and direc-
torate, and of the influential and important
position the Manchester Bank occupies for
the general welfare of the people. The
officers of the bank are Charles Brilliant,
president; DIR. Jacob I'll. Sherman, first
vice-president; Jacob Dehoff, second vice
president, and John Il. Masenhimer, sec.
retary and treasurer, who, together with
John c. Danner, Jacob HI. Blocher, Oil
yer B. Wentz, DR.. J. S. Zeigler, Davic
j. Brown, Jacob Roop, J. Frank Warner
and H. R. Garrett, form the directorate.
The above individuals are men of estab
lished integrity and reliability, and in thei
hands the interests of patrons will be ju
diciously safeguarded.
The Manchester Bank allows interest or
time or special deposits, and in the saving
department, which is a popular feature
deposits are received in any amount ant
interest credited as earned, thus enabling
the humblest patron to place his saving
where they Immediately become interest
earning. This advantage has assisted many
to home ownership, to comfort in their oil
age, to independence, and it is an advan
tage which cannot be too greatly estimated

Quoted by Moxley & Watkins, the sue
cessor of H. B. Moxley, the senior mem-
Der of the co-partnership who succeeded
to his fathers interests ten years ago:
This firm is prepared to buy all hay and
straw offered, also. all bark adapted for
tanning purposes, for which the highest
current market prices are paid. Ship
ments are made in carload lots to Balti-
mire, Philadelphia and New York mar
kets, and because of the extent of terri
tory covered the best advantages are
possessed to offer the farming fraternity
the most substantial returns for their
productions. H. B. Moxley and Thomas
f. Watkins compose the firm which has
been in existence since January Ist OF
the present year. They are among the
popular and progressive young business
men of this section, of established IN
tegrity and reliability, liberal and accom-

FARMERS TRUST, BANK
ING e DEPOSIT COMPANY.

The inception Of branch of the Farm
ers' Trust, Banking and Deposit Co., of
Baltimore, Nd, on Dec 9Th, 1908, intro
duced to the Inhabitants of Mt Airy, the
more modern and progressive of the inan-
cial institutions Of our day.
1t was the first to give permanency to
Banking facilities in the community,
thereby giving to Mt. Airy complete inde-
pendence in this respect, and to the citizens
of the surrounding section the advantage
Of convenience and of closer and more init.
mate relations in money matters. Besides
the banking business, this institution intro
duced the trust feature, SO popular in our
day, for it at once attached the element of
reliability to all matters in which it acted
in fiduciary capacity, whether as admin
istrator, executor, guardian, in the care
and management of Trust funds, estates,
the payment of annuities and other such
duties. 1t also introduced the Savings
Deposit system of accepting money, giving
to the owner on his savings a liberal inter
est, thereby making his money interest
earning, and encouraging thrift and econ
omy which leads inevitably to comfort and
independence. This Bank does a general
banking business and covers in its operations
every department of modern banking. As
depository patrons are protected by ample
capitalization which is supplemented by
stockholders liability, by surplus and
profit account equaling about one-f fourth of
capital stock, by a deposit of $50, 800
with the Treasurer of Maryland, by offic-
ials heavily bonded for the faithful dis
charge of their duties, by directorate
composed of men of established reliability
and integrity, and by the safeguards Of
burglar and freproof vaults, safes and in

FIXING UP PARTY FENCES
Local Politicians Have Started in
Early to Make Fight
for Office.

Some of the local politicians and their
friends have already started the ball roll
ing for the fall campaign in Weber coun-
ty. The fact that certain of the men now
holding office are seeking the support of
Indicate that spirited contest is looked
for. The county clerks office is the one
that is being given about ali the atten-
ton at the present time. This is prob
ably due to the fact that there has been
considerable dissatisfaction over the way
the office has been conducted during the
past two years. Since the time when Da-
Vld MattSOn assumed the office he inSti-
tuted a number of changes that have not
met with approval and his term of office
has been rather stormy as a result. Mr..
MattSon, however, is among the first of
the lot seeking office to start a movement
in his own behalf and it can be safely
stated that he will have plenty of oppo-
sltion. ID. W. Ellis, who has held the Of
lice OF county recorder for a number Of
years, and who Is thinking seriously of
giving some one else a chance at the DO
sttion, is being urged by his friends to
come out for the county clerkship. AS
yet he has not decided on the matter.
For a time IL was thought that Mr.. Matt
son, the present incumbent, was leaning
toward the American party and that he
would get into line when that party was
come about before the next election. This
fact probably had something to do with
the commencement of the political con-
trOverSy.
Rufus Garner who has just resigned
from the assistant postmastership, was
treasurer or clerk Of the county, but his
having taken up q new position would
probably indicate that he will not re-enter
the political field next fall.
