Chopin player.

Dear Sir: When you see a we'll
dressed man, you like to say: There's
sample Of my clothes. That man is
worth two of himself as he was when
he came to me-
We have the same feeling. Our paint
on house is worth twice as much as
old-fashioned painters paint, lead-and-
oil. 1t looks the same when first put
on. In three months it don't. In three
years it decidedly don't.
Lead-and-oil chalks off in three years:
it is considered a frst-rate job that lasts
three years.
Devoe Iead-and-zinc is about as good
in three years as it was the day the
painter left it.
Zinc is the secret Of it: no secret at
a|r A good many painters know zinc;
81 mix it with their lead. We grind
it in: not a little: good deal
It's the zinc and the grinding that
does it. You can't mix zinc by hand.
We grind it in by machinery.
Painters are finding US out, though
some painters are slow
You know that it pays a good man to
wear good clothes. How many custom
ers have you that know it?

man, pastor of st. Paul's NJ. E. church.
In the absence of Rev. J. B. Shoup,
Of Bittinger, who was to have preached
the sermon on the occasion, having been
called away to preach funeral sermon
instead, Rev. Manages delivered the dis
course using as basis of his remarks
lisa. 28:16, and Psalms 1911.
The copper box placed inside the stone
was made and kindly donated by Mr..
G. A. Shirer, of Oakland. This box
contained a copy of the Bible, The
Lutheran Observer, Evangelist, Ale
gany Conference Edition Of the Young
Lutheran, The Republican of January
9Th, 1905, containing an account of the
burning Of the church which occurred
that day, the names of the church

ton which was taken up and which
amounted to $3.50, including the dona-
ton of the corner stone, which was
given by a resident of the town.

Flr. Charles z. fiiiIeary, Vice Presi-
dent, and Mr.. Edward j. HamiII,
Cashier, OF The INSTITUTIONAL Is
Capitalized at $4,000 and the
Stock is Fully Paid-up.

The .rst National Bank of Kitzmil-
lersviI-, Garrett county, Maryland,
was organized on Monday of this week
when meeting Of those interested in
its organization was held at Kitzmillers-
vile and the stock, which was over sub
scribed by many thousands of dollars,
was divided among the subscribers.
The organization of the bank was eff
fected by the election of a board Of four
teen directors, who in turn elected the
executive officers as follows:
President, MIR. Rufus A. Smith, of
Blaine; vice president, Mr.. Charles E.
Hilleary, Of German; cashier, Mr.. Ed
ward j. Hamill, of Kitzmillersville.
The board of directors is composed of
the prominent business men of Kitz-
millersville and Blaine as well as repre-
sentatiVes from various towns along the
Western Maryland railroad and Oak
land, as follows:
K. A. Smith, merchant and coal op-
orator, Blaine; Charles E. Hillearv,
stockman and farmer, German; L. D.
Gastiger, superintendent J. L. Rum
barger Lumber Co., Dobbin; E. E.
Clark, superintendent Whitmer Lane

tional Bank Of Oakland.
The bank is capitalized at $25, 600,
the amount being fully paid.
The directors, after their organiza-
ton, purchased Corliss safe similar to
the safes installed in the two Oakland
banks, and also a large fre-proof Mosler
safe for the reception of papers, etc.
Two rooms for banking purposes have
been secured from the Blaine Mercan-
tile Company, which is centrally locat-
ed and which will answer all purposes.
The bank will be open for business as
soon as possible when a savings depart
ment will be inaugurated where funds
of 81 or more may be deposited on in
terest.
The location at charlottesville of
bank fills a want which has been felt
for number of years, or since the de-
velopment Of the immense bodies of
coal IN that section was begun. The
success of the new institution is assured
since every business man in the two
toWns-Blaine and Kitzmillersville-as
well as nearly every resident in the COM
munity is interested as stockholders.
