During the early life of this bank
we find a list of the names of bank
examiners; Frederick A. Schley,
Alexander Mill, Richard Raglan,
Frederick Dorsey and James S.
Lane. The amount of stock of
this first bank was set at $250,000
1t was not so many years after
this first bank started that another
bank opened its doors. This bank,
too, started with a capital of $780,
900, divided into 10000 shares at
$25 each. This bank, which opened
in February, 1880, was known as tahe
"Williamsport Bank" and was start
ed by commissioners John R. Dull,
Daniel Weisel, Matthew Van Lear,
James Grimes, Michael Finley,
Charles A.. Warfeld (of Al, and
Robert Wason. Il don't know just

In 1865 it became a National Bank
and the name was changed to the

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

The horse and the inevitable
Buggy" were very familiar sight
in the streets of this little town; had
been for nearly two centuries. And
this little town-now known as Will
Transport is becoming a familiar
term in these columns. In those
days it was named "Conococheague,"
and it was also the would-be site of
our Nations capital. Besides that,
is was famous for its importance in
connection with the historic Canal
and its role in the history of our Ma
ton, and it is also a very interest
ing little town all on its own.
Now no town that has played
a part in the building of the sur
rounding community goes without
newspaper. And these local papers
are of incalculable value to those of
us who are interested in the past of
our county. In Williamsport, in
days gone by, there were four
papers. Of these, the one that seems
to have run for the longest period
of time was the pilot" at one time
edited by G. w. McCardell, but l
have been unable to find out when
it was first published. Of the 9TH
ers, the oldest was the Republican
Banner" started in 1929. Daniel
Weisel was the editor, and Thomas
Tice, the publisher. In or about
1847 an opposition paper appeared,
the ''Times," and another paper,
which had short history, was the
"Scott Banner" started in 1852 by
Williams and Allen. Near the turn
of the last century, the "Pilot" was
described as ''fourishing."
Thanks to these old newspapers,
we have preserved for us many in
teresting details of the past that
would be otherwise lost MAY l
say right here that l greatly APP
preciate anyone's loaning me old
papers) Thus we find about the
beginnings of many of the businesses,
and institutions, such as the banks.
It seems that Williamsport had
bank quite EARLY in the eighteen
hundreds. This was the "Cono-
cocheague Bank" which was incor-
porated under the laws of the State
in January of 1914. Quite list of
names, all typical of early Williams
port, is given as the first board of

we can not mention the Van Lear
family without telling about the
fine old house, "Tammy Hail." still
standing, near Williamsport on the
west side of Route IL, between Viii
Transport and Hagerstown.
This family has been referred to
as another of the oldest of the fam
lilies of our valley, and of Western
Maryland. John Van Lear, a sturdy
CalVinist and a native of Holland,
came in the early zoos to Phila-
delphia. He was supposed to have
taken active part in the erection of
the first Presbyterian Church in that
city. 1t was a son of his, also named
John, who went to Lancaster Coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, and two sons of
this second John who came to this
section These were Matthew and
William Van Lear, who settled in
Hagerstown.
These brothers engaged in a sue
cessful trade with the then rapidly
expanding West. Later they brought
large tract of land at the edge of
WiHliamsport, toward Hagerstown,
and thus started the. Tammany Es-
tate.
Perhaps many of you have al
ready visited this old homestead.
There are many old houses in this
County, and they are of special in
terest to me. Next week 1 will tell
some more about this one, and about
the family that built it, and the part
they played in the past of our com
munity.

Death Penalty Revived

The Soviet Union has revived the
death penalty for use against traitors,
spies and saboteurs, according to a
recent Moscow dispatch. There has
been some speculation that the
move may foreshadow new series
of prosecutions on the order of the
1887 Moscow treason trials.

NEW YORK, Mar. 14.-The
General Motors Corp. announced
last night that its profits had
reached a record of 1856, ,434, ,232 in
1949 and that its payroll had
scared to a new peak of $1,440,-
$50, ,45O.
The firms annual report to it's
$4,000 stockholders also disclosed
that production, sales and tax
payments had hit record highs.
The 1949 earnings were equiva-
lent to $14.64 a share of common
stock. This compared with the
previous high of $9.72 a share in
1948. when profits reached $440,-
447,724.
Discussing the increased sales
volume, the report expressed be-
lief "the potential market for new
cars has been permanently ex-
panded."
Population Growth Cited.
The report pointed out that the
adult population of the United
States in 1949 was nearly 10 per
cent greater than in 1941 and
about 81 per cent greater than in
1929.
"In addition" the report said,
there was a change in income
distribution which brought more
family units into the medium and
higher income classes. Thus, more
people could afford to buy new
cars in l949 than before the war"
There still exists backlog of
deferred demand" the report said.
However. once this backlog has
been satisfied, operations are not
likely to continue at a peak rate"
Sales Reach New Peak.
The report showed that sales
reached new peak of IS, zoo, 1885,
141 in 1949 against $4,701 ITO $40
the previous year. This includ-
ed GINS non-automotive products
such as household appliances,

GET RIGHT WITH GCD!-
But / cannoti Sinfukby nature,
and conscious Of many sins
committed, of unbelief and for
getfulness of God, how can /
be brought into conformity
with Gods righteousness and
holiness?
Christ's message is Of repen-
lance and remission of sins.
In Him I'VE have redemption
through His blood, even the
forgiveness of sins. His cross
is what shows US most clearly
how guilty we are; but it also
shows US how complete is the
forgiveness he is ready to bes-
tow. Having offered Himself
for our sins, Jesus Christ is to
this day our living High
Priest, able to save to the ut
most. Let us not fear to make
our direct appeal to Him.
None but Jesus-Can do help
less sinners good" Christians
can and must most willingly
forgive the offences of others
against themselves; but guilt
towards God can only be re-
moved by God Himself in
Christ. God does commission
us to bear witness to the source
and conditions of forgiveness,
TO declare and pronounce
unto His people, being peni-
tent, the abolition and re-
mission Of their sins" pro-
vided that they truly re-
pent and unfeignedly believe.
Compare the commissions to
jeremiah (ch. 1.10) and Eze-
kiel (ch. 43.3). We must point
out the way of salvation; but
it is Christ Himself who save.
From His own blessed lips we
may and must hear our par
don. Let us therefore come
boldly unto the throne Of
grace, that we may obtain mer
cy, and find grace to help in
time of need"

Quickie Vacation Holidays in 1850

ends. For the others, a work
