MEMORY.
All, tell me not that memory
Sheds gadness DER the past;
What is recalled by faded flowers,
Save that they did not last ?
Were il not better to forget,
Than but remember and regret
Look back upon your hours of youth
What were your early years,
But scenes of childish cares and griefs
And say not childish tears
Were nothing; at that time they were
More than tho young heart well could bear.
Go on to ripper years, andlook
Upon your sunny spring;
And from the wrecks Of former years
What will your memory bring?
Affections wasted, pleasures fled,
And hopes now numbered with the dead I!

Such is the character and condition OF
the Jackson County Bank.
On the twenty.third day of February
last, the commissioners entered into an ex-
animation of the condition Of the Farmers
Bank of Sandstone, located at Barry, in
the county Of Jackson.
The certificate of this bank was filed ac-
cording to law, in the office of the Secre-
tary OF State, on the 29th day Of January,
1888. The capital stock was named at
$4,000. The security furnished was the
personal bond Of the directors. The thir,
ty per cent. on the capital stock, required
by law to be paid in specie, was never ae-
tually so paid in, but certificate of specie
dcposite appears TO have been used instead
of coin.
No stock book was eyer opened, and no
list of stockholders was posted up in the
banking house. The list Of stockholders
and officers Of the bank hereunto annexed,
markcd No. 2, was furnished by Ii. N.
