 Campbell Confer.

The financial report of the condi- tion of the Berlin Saving bank showed the business of the bank to be increas- ing rapidly at present. In compari- -son with the report of a year ago, it was shown the business had increased over $25O, 1000 in one year. A compar- ison was also made of the standing ten years ago and it was found the business had been tripled in that space of time. It was just ten years ago February 1, that Francis Deming the genial treasurer, first became af- ftliated with the institution. At that time he was chosen assistant to Treasurer Willis Upson, and upon the 1atter's death was appointed treas urer. The increase in the amount of business done by the bank is attri- buted in no small way to the efforts of Mir. Deming and the institution is today considered one of the strongest in the state.
 The report showing the difference of ten years ago and today are herewith appended:

Out Of Old Albania.

Save in Epirus. where Greek culture

Albanians OF the hills write when
they can write at all) in Greek letters,
no foreign influence has yet invaded
the intimate life Of this exclusive race.
Individual Albanians have, indeed.
given their talents to bring unity or
order to the life Of other peoples. Half
the captains by land and sea of the
Greek wars OF independence were Al
banians from Epirus or the isles.
Crispi came from the Albanian col.
ony in Sicily: the khedivial family
imposed itself on Egypt; the last
grand vizier of the old regime In Tur-
key was a South Albanian magnate.
But no native church, no native litera-
ture. no local field for statesmanship
has yet exercised the talents of q
race which is certainly not the least
gifted of the Balkan peoples. Until
recently an Albanian educated was an
Albanian lost.
