I'm the desire of certain Of their leaders

When we, with the consent Of the people

a people that had enjoyed so little oppor-

There Is not the slightest evidence that
there has been on the part of the govern

Family's Second Elopement in Month

BALTIMORE. May 10.-One elopement in
a family generally causes some excite
ment, but to have two occur within
single month Is unusual. Mr.. Calvin G..
Ensor, 1854 Cedar avenue. eloped last
August with Miss Elsie NJ. Hefiin Of Rap
pahannock, Nd, and was married. while
a sister Of Miss Helm had eloped with
Mr. J. Alban a month before. The mar
riage Of Miss Heffin and Mr.. Alban took
place in September. but the fact was not
long hidden from their friends. Mr.. and
Mrs. Ensor were more successful, how
ever, for no one knew Of their marriage
in August until they announced the fact
last Thursday. Mr.. and Mrs. Hefiin left
home presumably to attend an entertain
ment. but went to Ellicott City and had
the knot tied by Rev. Vernon Ridgely.

Keep a Bank Account:

Because it $ a sign of progressiveness.
Because money in hiding is a constant source of worry to its
owner and does nobody any good-except the burglar.
Because the bank is by far the safest place for your money and a
bank account at the same time is the most convenient way of
keeping a record of your transactions. A bank check endorsed
by the payee is a good receipt for a bill paid.
Because nine-tenths of the worlds business is done by means of
bank accounts.
Because you owe il to yourself, the farmer as we'll as the mer-
chant and to the business world to keep money in circulation.
The worlds market is the farmers marker and the money he
gets for his products Is a part of the word-stock OF money which
should be kept circulating in the channels Of trade.
Open a check account with us and pay out your money by means OF
