CERTIFICATION





I,
Douglas C. Gulotty, certify that:





1.  I
have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of The Wilber
Corporation.





2.  Based
on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were
made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
report.





3.  Based
on my knowledge, the financial statements and other financial information
included in this quarterly report fairly present, in all material respects, the
financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the registrant as
of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report.





4. The
registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and
maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f)) for the registrant
and we have:





a)
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that
material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;





b)
Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal
control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles;





c)
Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
procedures and presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and





d)
Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most recent fiscal
quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report)
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
registrant's internal control over financial reporting, and




5. The
registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most
recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of directors
(or persons performing the equivalent function):




a) All
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operations of
internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to
adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize, and
report financial information; and




b) Any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in the registrant's internal controls over financial
reporting.
