constantly made that not only en-
able the experienced cook to enjoy
new baking creations, but make sue
cess easy for the beginner.
The extention work of the Royal

ELLIOTT BANK is CLOSED

The Elliott Savings bank has clos
ed its doors following an investiga-
tion of its condition by represent
atives of the state banking depart
ment.
The immediate cause of the banks
closing was the fact its supply OF
available cash was below the legal
requirements.
While no official statement has
been made by officers of the bank or
representatives OF the banking de-
partment, 1t is understood slow col
lections have brought about the con-
dition.
Rumors have been rife for some
time of the banks financial troubles.
1t was reported that several banks in
this part Of the state were to come
to the financial assistance of the
Elliott Savings bank.
The closing Of the bank has caused
much excitement.

MARRIED AN ENGLISH GIRL
Young Contractor at Kimballton En-
gagged to Girl In England During
War is Married i'm New York

The first June wedding with which
We deal is undoubtedly the most ro-
mantle inasmuch as it joins one of
our local contractors and a dark
eyed maid from the British Isles.
OF course, it is a war romance and
many months have passed since its
starting and the time when we are
able to write the closing chapters.
Another reason why it is of special
interest is because the groom is the
only ex-service man from this vicini-
ty who chose mate from a foreign
country in preference to the maids
with laughing eyes from Iowa.
In 1918 Peter Zimmerman be-
came one Of the four million who
left this country to serve our flag
across the sea. On account Of his
trade he was sent to England and
detailed to construction work in our
camps in that country. Little did
he know then what fate had in store
for him when he lost chance to go
to the front and was condemned to
exist on English rations for months.
One day he was transferred from
Liverpool to United States camp
near Manchester, England.
Here it was that he met Miss
Florence Buckley, He was attract
ed by her dark hair, her coal black
eyes and probably most by her rich
soprano voice, the lady being a
soprano soloist of more than ordin-
airy ability. She was undoubtedly
infatuated by his breezy Yankee air,
his broad smile and by his pride Of
being one OF those called to help our
Allies. ......
Their meetings became more and
more frequent: The Sammy-Pete
even stood for being called that
became a frequent visitor at the
little home in Manchester and when
Zimmerman finally left for the
United States he had her promise to
join him as soon as it was practic-
able. Undoubtedly the months
since the signing OF the armistice
have seemed ages to the English lass
and to the discharged soldier on
this side of the Atlantic.
Finally all obstacles were re-
moved. A telegram came from Eng
land that she was on her way and
that the steamer would dock in New
York, June 20. Friday afternoon
Zimmerman was on his way to New
York and by this time the couple is
united until death do them part.
Details of the wedding have MOI
yet reached here but little imagina.
tion is necessary to picture the hap.
Ply ending of this romance. On &C,
count of the new immigration laws
the wedding undoubtedly took place
at Ellis Island. Miss Gudrun Zim
hermann, sister of the groom il
now located at Perth Amboy, New
Jersey and she and Bernhart Skip
per, a former Kimbailton resident
we presume were the only witnesses
and guests when the chaplain at thu
island tied the knot.
After a short visit in the cas-. Mr.
