AT a meeting of the board of directors OF

count of his age and failing health. After
due deliberation twas accepted by the board,
when L. Smith was elected a director and

the streets, the directors take this opportu-
nifty to say this bank holds no unsecured
paper against the Bangor Furnace Co.

resolutions on the resignation of A. Sher-
man as president Of this bank, submitted

sderation OF the subject and for reasons assignee
the board of directors accepted his resignation.
BE il therefore
HeSOfred, That in severiug Ms connection
president of the bank, which responsible position h
has held so long, ana SO honorably and faithfully
filed simple justice requires that the board of direc
tors should signify in al expressive manner their
appreciation of the services rendered by the retiring
president, during the time he held the Office of pres
dent.
R6sOired, That we sincerely regret that any cause
should exist rendering it necessary for Mr.. Sherman
10 terminate mis- official connection with the bank,
the act being entirely voluntary his part attrbut
able to his age, failing health, and his personal
matters requiring his entire time and attention, the
board of directors individually and collectively,
hereby testify that they have the most implicit
fdence in the integrity, honesty, and faithfuness OF
A. Sherman, and unite in rendering him their best
wishes for his future welfare and prosperity.
