goon record as being for the cuses of the fact that our town,

CT}o not think that this bank
is merely a place to de-
posit your money. It is that
and more. It is our desire to
shore which bounds the end of

our pleasant meetings and our
greetings and our chance to ex-
tend to each other little tokens
of love and esteen, just to make
life more beautiful and pleasant,
will all soou be over and 1 must
fall into that silent sleep which
the world calls “death.” At tny
time iu lile 1 have no regrets
that I have failed to accumulate
much of this world’s intrinsic
wealth ; my only regret is that
I have allowed too much self

life which might far better have

opposite way, the little tax i
would save would not go far to
satisfy my conscience against
the tliot that I had taken out of
your lives many, many hours of
heathful recreation and pleas-
ure. So. my dear ones, when
your “Uncle Fuller” is dead
and resting iu his narrow bed
on yonder bill, please extend to
bis memory these little tltots :
1 want all the children to en-
joy every flower and blossom of
the fields and woods, the banks
of the brooks and the golden

tender our patrons every service
and accomodation that
reasonably be expected of us.
