of the bank.
This announcement will be enough to
inform those who are posted in bank af-
fairs in this community, that the First
National, through its numerous changes
of management, has at last reached per-
manent condition.
To others, we may say that the new
directors of the First National are also
directors ~ the Merchants National, with
the exception of Mr.. Woodhouse, who is
the Cashier of the Merchants National.
The change is thus virtual union of the
two banks We are informed, however,
that the two will not be consolidated, but
will maintain their separate existence and
banking houses, and will endeavor to &C
comm@data the community as fully as the
two have "vsr done, or more so, The man
axemtnt IF the Merchants National has not
only been remarkably successful hu incl-
ally, but il has commanded the high re-
spect and confidence of the community
The same qualities may of course be ex-
pected to characterize the new manage
ment of the First National. Its presi-
