FOR THE srAuNToN SPECTATOR
THE BANK.

IL has been understood here for the last six months
that it was the purpose of the Directors of the Val
ley Bank TO fulfil their moral and legal obligations
by establishing Branch of that institution in Saun-
ton. Indeed, we were informed that SO soon as
some small legal obstacles, which, il supposed
the Lvs~ls,tore would readily -amnua ,vere out vi
the way, the Bank would commence its operations
relying upon these assurances, our citizens have
waited patiently for the action of the Legislature on
the subject. To our great surprise, however, we
have found that no measures whatever have been
adopted to procure the necessary legislation, OF in
any manner, TO redeem, what, we think, we had a
right to regard as the pledge of the Bank to give
us Branch
Under these circumstances, we think our citi
zens ought not to to be put off with delusive
promises any longer. Let us at once dissolve our
connection with the Valley Bank, and turn our eyes
In another direction. We are persuaded that the
Farmers Bank wonld cheerfully give us a Branch
OF that institution, and from its larger amount of
capital and more extensive credit it would be more
beneficial to us than 4 Branch CT The Valley Bank
We hope our Delegates will, therefore, at once
take hold Of the measure, and try and get us
Branch of the Farmers Bank. The extensive
business which is now done in Staunton, and the
large amounts of public money which would annu-
ally be deposited in Bank here make ii very
desirable situation for such an institution and we
hazard nothing in saying that it would be very pro-
ftabe to the stockholders, and advantageous to the
public.
When Winchester shall begin to find her trade
crippled, and the circulation of her Bank promptly
intercepted and returned upon her, she may see rea
son to deplore the and miserable policy
which has forced us into an attitude OF opposition
We have always been disposed to be friends, but
we cannot consent to be treated as dependents.

A GENTLE HINT

The duns of newspaper editors are generally
considered by their readers rather offensive-or,
to say the least, in very bad taste. If such are
farmers, we would like TO know what would be
their course, if, after carefully plough,ng their
ground and sowing their seeds, not for one or two
years only, but for four, five, and even six and
eight years, they should gather no crop2 Would
they utter no murmur Of complaints Let them
ask themselves the question, and remember the
Divine injunction to do unto Others as they would
be dealt by themselves.
