The County Court of Berkeley county
has before it much important business
for the nextE year. The past sum-
mer with its many hari dashing rains
washed the roads badly and the open
winter SO far has been very hard on
the roads and they are in bad condi-
ton. The roads must be put in good
order as soon as spring opens and
there ought to be great deal of new
macadamized roads made. During
the past four years, under the new
of good road and besides built and re.
paired of needed bridges and other i'm
provements that have for years been
neglected. These matters being now
disposed of the court will for the next
several years at least have clear sail
ing in the matter of making good roads
/ there is no where that good roads
would count tor more or bring larger
returas to the county than that Sec
tio1 lying between Martinsburg anC
the Jefferson county line. The people
of that county are very desirable cu.
toners for our business men, they
want to come here to deal, they hav,
good roads to the county line and they
ask us to give them as good over our
territory.

REMARKABLE GROWTH

The annual election OF the directors
of the Merchants & Farmers hank di-
reefs attention to the remarkable
growth and splendid condition of this
institution, which has the distinction
of paying higher dividend on its
stock than any other bank in Martins
burg, and the further homer of the
highest quotation on the stock of any
similar institution here. The bank
has paid up capital of $50, 600, with
surplus of $27 900 deposits of $4,000
and total assets of more than 100000
Last year the bank paid dividend of
IL per cent, and placed 10 per cent of
its earnings in the reserve fund. The
last stock sold brought 1915 per share
of the par value of 500. This is re-
cord OF which many older banks luld
be Justly proud, and is a splendid il
lustration of the sound and conserva-
tive methods of the Merchants &
Farmers bank. The bank is sound safe
and growing steadily land Martinsburg
and Berkeley county can well feel
proud of such a splendid institution.
Toe bank is open Saturday evenings,
