Bank Changes II, Name.

At q meeting of the stockholders OF
the ] ferson Savings Bank last Satur-
day it was resolved to change the
name to the Jefferson Security Bank.
the word savings being a sort Of mis-
leading cognomen in banking circles.
While there was some regret at chang
ing the name of this popular old in
stltu'iou, for business reasons it was
decided it was well to do 30. TIE
new order goes into effect the fret
of April.
The Jefferson Savings Bank is just
forty years old. 1t was established in
May. 1869, and it's FIRST home was in
a little room in the building now oc.
cupied as the Presbyterian manse.
In 1873it was moved to the rooms
in the building erected by David Bill
myer, where it remained until 1906,
when it took possession Of its own
property-the handsome structure
erected at the corner Of German and
Princess streets-a banking house
which is regarded as one of the best
10 this section. The old forty-year
charter which is about to expire ne
cessitates new charter, which will
be for fifty years.
The late David Billmyer was the
banks first president, and it has had
but one other in its forty years Of e1-
istence-W. N Lemen, Egg, the pres
emit capable executive officer. l. has
also had but two cashiers, B F. Hsr-
rlson, who retired a few years ago,
and John 81 Qligley, who now 30 sat-
i-factorily fills the place.
Charles j. Miller is vice. president.
no other man having filled this Office.
Harriaon Schley Is the assistant CASH
Ter. Geo. NJ. Beltzhoover, Eeq. has
been attorney for the bank from it,
organization, and we believe was the
only director present last Saturday
WHO assisted In the formation OF the
new OdnR.
The present prosperity of the bank
ls the best evidence of the excellence
of its management. Its stock is east
ly worth two and a halt for one, and
IN every respect its condition Is sound
and admirable Its capital STOCK is
S25, 900, it's surplus $27, 1852 81, and
It's banking house 10 worth SIS, 600
rs deposits are $l76.2ll73 and It's
loans are $ll9, OBS .66. It's total re-
sources are 1892 APO 0l.
The J-fersou Savings Bank is, an
institution III which our people lake a
justlfabls pride. It's conservative
yet progressive management, its cub
stsntisl cond ton and general solidlty
make it an ideal country financial H.
srltution.

The Best Garden Peas.

The Best Garden Peas
For al extra early planting, one
that will produce peas In May, we
strongly recommend Burpee's First
and Best. They do not require any
sticks, DO not rot in the ground, and
frosts are not injurious even after
they are out of the ground two or
three inches. After the first planting
lie up An inch or so. make a second
planting, and then follow with the
wrinkled varieties for the summer.
The earliest of all wrinkled stick
peas ia Burpee's Extra Early Gradus,
sometimes called Prosperity Pea.
Fine, large pods filed with delicious
peas, they begin to bear only snort
tune after First and Best. Next to
the Gradus Is the Thos L4xlon Pa,
the growth Of which Is identical, bur
the pods are a deeper and richer green
aud square at the end, the crop ripep-
ing Ave or six days later than the
Gradue.
For those who prefer the dwarf or
no stick varieties, The American Won
der, Premium Gem and Motifs Excel
slor are all recommended; the FIRST
TWO named are old and veil known
varieties Of extremely dwarf growth.
while Motifs Excelsior grows to a
greater height. with larger pods more
compactlY filled, but maturing a few
days later than the American Won
der.
For main crop varieties. Burpses
Profusion is the best of stick varieties,
while the Improved Stratagem and
the new Dwarf Champion are the best
dwarf varieties. Remember, thess
seeds are all Of Burpee's choice strair'
and the best seeds that grow. S9lc

romance that bad it's beginning some
months ago. when Miss Jones entered

ripsned into a deeper affection, and
without divulging their secret, plans

sister, Mrs. W. NJ. Morton, and DIR.
Tucker left Berryville ostensibly on

engaged in successful practice IN New

BREAKERS AHEAD FOR THE SHIP
OF STATE

The Land of Flowers is on the eve
of an exciting campaign.
Five candidates for the United
States senate have already entered
the lists subject to the action of the
democratic primary, which is to be
held within the next few months.
And, according to the well-posted
Tampa Tribune, a man with less than
100000 to spend upon the election
cannot hope to make an effective bid
for the toga.
The inference to be drawn from this
statement is two-fold
In the first place, each of the five
candidates who have appeared upon
the scene has been able to produce
the money bags.
In the second place crisp bank
notes are liable to play an important
part in the battle of ballots which is
soon to be waged on the peninsular.
What an excellent text for a SER
mon upon the perilous tendencies of
American politics.-Atlanta Georgian.

save several hundred miles in travel
and would avoid the dangerous reefs
along the coast, which would add a
great deal to the safety and expedi-
ton of travel.
Besides, vessels going long distanc-
es at sea, become heavily laden with
barnacles and are compelled to be
placed on the dry docks and have
their bottoms scraped. A passage
through a fresh water canal, such as
the Florida ship canal would be, would
free them from the barnacles and save
them the cost of dry docking.
There are a great many other argu-
ments used in favor of a ship canal
across Florida, and now would be a
good time to agitate it,
We hope that Ocala will take some
interest in the matter and that some
of our leading men will meet Engineer
Spalding when he visits Ocala.
This is a great age for engineering
feats and a ship canal across Florida
and one across the Isthmus of Pana-
ma would be two great achievements.
