BY reference to our advertising COL
umns it will be seen that the annual
election of Directors of the First Ma
tional Bank of this place, occurs on the
18th of January. Apropos to this, it
is announced that the efficientand gen
tlennanly Teller of the Bank, Mr.. A..
P. Blair. owing to the inadequacy of
the salary paid, will retire from that
position in February.
We speak advisedly, and reflect the
views of large number of the heavi-
est depositors and stockholders of the
Bank, when we say that the Board of
Directors will make grave mistake to
dispense with the services of Mr.. Blair,
rather than advance his salary, say a
couple of hundred dollars per year.
Mr.. Blair has occupied his present po-
sition for seven or eight years; he is
thoroughly conversant with all the du-
ties of the Bank, and acquainted with
the people with whom the most of the
business is transacted. His knowl-
edge which he has gained by these sew
en- years of experience in that institu-
tion is worth incalculably more to the
stockholders, than is the paltry sum
required to retain his services.
We hore that the Directors at their
next meeting will take such steps as
will secure the retention of Mr.. B., to
continue as lieutenant to the able Cash
ier, Mr.. H. c. Welday, and thus in.
sure the continued popularity and
prosperity of the First National.

SOME of the bed ticks belonging TO
the Jail being missed on Saturday, an
inquiry arose among the officers of that
institution, as to what had become OF
them. An investigation disclosed the
fact that some Of the prisoners had torn
them to pieces and knotted the strips
into ropes. 1t is supposed that plan
had been matured by which the pris-
oners were to attempt an escape through
the roof, and the ropes were to be used
to let them down to the ground. The
timely discovery of this little scheme,
by Jailor Rice, who is ever on the alert
prevented the contamination of the
project.

were sedulous in their efforts to render
themselves pleasant and agreeable.
The good host and hostess contributed
everything that taste and refinement
could dictate for the qualification, and
enjoyment of their guests. The COLA
tion was of the finest order-ali that
the most critical connoissear could de-
sire. The evening was highly enjoyed
by everyone present and will long be
remembered as pleasing episode in
our somewhat prosy village life.
