Wallace Temporarily Filling Position In Enterprine B. & L. Association At a recent meetinp of the board of directors of The Enterprise Building and Loan Association, the oldest of the four successful buildlhfl and loan associations operating: in Cam den, W. E. Johnson, who for the past score of years has been its secretary and treasurer, offered his resigna tion, which was accepted witn regret by the directors. The Enterprise Building and Loan Association was established in 1888, and has been in j successful operation ever since. With- ; in that time it has made but few ' changes in its officers with the poss ible exception of the personnel of the ! borad of dire;4ois, a new member] occasionally being added to the list. Mr. Johnson held the office of secre tary and treasurer longer than eith ^ of his predecessors, and was very popular with each of the stockhold ers. His uniform courtesy and con sideartion won for him the respect and esteem of every one with whom he came in contact, and the announce ment of his retirement from this pos Iton will be received with regret. Few men cculd be found who are as ac tive and as "young" as Mr. Johnson although he has passed) his three score and ten years. He has never had to wear glasses and is a jovial good fellow. Some important changes are being made in the plans of this association. It is being plac ed upon a more modern plan than the old system where stockholders could buy stock only at the close of a series or pay back assessments. The plan soon to be put into operation will ad mit of the buying of shares at any time without having to go back for n period of time and all series running of even date. A permanent secre tary and treasurer has not as yet been named, but J. B. Wallace, who is very competent and perfectly familiar with the new system is tem porarily in charge until a permanent secretary and treasurer is elected. It .is understood that Mr, Wallace wil1 be an applicant i'or the position. New Currency in Circulation The local banks have receive I a sup ply of the new currency issued by the treasury department of the United States. They are smaller than tht "bills heretofore in circulation. We rather like the appearance of them and the ownership of oom'j of them would, especially please us. It is es timated that it will take about; two or three years to get in all of the old bills and exchange them for the new bills. Made Interesting Talk Mr. J. K. de Loach made a very in teresting and helpful talk on the San day school lesson Sunday morning be fore the Character Builders Bibk class of the Lyttleton Street Method ist Sunday school.

A hun dred pounds of sugar, a sack of rice and several sacks of flour were a mong the articles missed. The po lice were notified and an effort is bring made to locate the guilty par ties. _ I PAY OF JURORS The mat'or of jury pay was much discussed in Chester at the recent term of court. It in generally under stood that jurors receive $2 a day. The News understand* that the King jurors received they beinr\ held bo*h day and night. We are not familiar with the law but it stands to reason that a jut-or who listeria to a case all day ami wh<^> Is required to stay away from home all. night, should certainly receive compensation In keeping with the service* rendered. --Cheater News.

What j ho meant was that the man wh'> fails to watch the pennies will perish for want of that which pennievs will buy. We asked a Lancaster man the other day the secret of his ability t" ' keep his large family so nicely and still maintain a bank account, lie replied: "I have always looked out for the pennies." Just now when our boys are out of school and earning a few pennies in the vara' ion season is a goodt time to acquaint them with this mai/s secret and fid Kinj{ Sol omon's wise words. A few word?: of advice on saving and thrift may puf them on the road to success and, com fort in their old age. You at least can't lose anything yourself by of ferinp such advice.- -Lancaster News.
