The New Year is such fine time to leave
off old and offensive habits. We can of course
see and hear of bad faults in others, but how
is it with ourselves? Is it not much to our
own discredit to suspect another of evil on in
sufficient evidence. If our thoughts are al
ways in the right direction and our hearts
are full of loving estimates of others, we shall
need unmistakable proof to make us admit
that our associates or fellows are worse than
we are. If we are constantly inclined to evil
ourselves, we are quick to see signs of similar
evil in Others. New Years day is a proper
time to view our past and plan for the future

Do you ask, "Where can l do this and
have my money absolutely safe ?" Let
us give you some facts. The LamOille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. of
Hyde Park is an institution run on the
following principles -
LIST. Not dollar is loaned without
the personal knowledge of some one of
tie Board of Directors that the loan is
safe beyond question.
I'd. 1t is run as a home institution.
Every dollar is loaned in Lamoille and
adjacent counties, and every worthy en-
terprise in the vicinity of the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come,
is fostered and encouraged in preference
to ether investments. so far as it can be
done with absolute safety.
Sd. Under no circumstances is a dol
lar invested in any western mortgage or
other out-of-the-sta security. We
might perhaps pay our depoSitors one
half of one per cent. per annum more
interest by ineurrlng a little addition
al risk. il S2slnss should come, but we
believe there is to-day a ''long-felt
want" in Vermont for a savings inStitu-
ton which will loan its funds at home.
1t is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. 1t is needed for
the building up and fostering home in
stitutions. Vermont towns will not
boom without money any more than
towns beyond the Mississippi and in
Alabama. 1t is needed for the greater
safety of the savings of widows and
orphans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagement to our neigh
bors who prefer to occupy western
fields we offer to the depOsiting public
the Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. as an institution organized to
meet the demand for strictly home in
UeStnent Savings Bank. That such a
demand exists, and that the people are
ready to bestow their confidence and
encouragement upon such an institu-
ton, is evidenced by the fact that the
aggregate of the small deposits alone in
this Bank-not counting any in excess
of $1000-were at the end of the first six
months of its business, $57, 1890, a
record without parallel, we believe, in
the history Of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over per cent. II would
not, knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over per cent. The
safest class of loans and securities will
command money at per cent. The
Bank pays the State tax of six tenths
of per cent. on deposits in lieu of all
taxes to the depositor. 1t must then
be evident that per cent. per annum is
all that the Bank can sAFELYPA This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed and
rests on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi annually if not
withdrawn.

The New Year.

However good a year may have
been, the number who would like to
live it over again is very small, The
past is given up to lessons and re-
grets-the future to hopes and ex-
pectations. Men look forward rather
than backward, from choice; and in
the disposition so to do, there is very
fair argument in behalf of the immor-
tality which of late years has been
preached and lectured against with
more than the old eloquence of skep-
tics and atheists, if not more than
their old ability. Without this ex-
pectation as TO the next life, uncon-
sciously exercised in many instances,
it would be strange to see old men
with laughing lips and eyes, men
hopelessly i'll with hopeful faces, men
wrecked in purse and driven to
doo-radation who yet have escaped
uespa1r. The belief as to the future
is fixed and unalterable, whether it
be a matter of edueatfon or, still
more conVincing,a matter of unques-
tionable and unanxious instinct. So
then each New Year brings joy to old
and young alike. The casting aside
of old things and the adoption of
new ones catches the eye and feasts
the desires of all ages and conditions.
No man wants to go back. 1t is the
universal desire to go right on.
The New Year is as pleasing to the
grand-dame as to the grandchild, and
indeed no first day of the year is COM
plete without both of them. The
hope and expectation of the one are
as light as those of the other, though
the person of wrinkles and tottering
steps thinks within himself, however
unconsciously, that on the whole he
has the advantage of the one with
the large eyes and beardless face.
The NEWS AND CITIZEN, with the
rest Of the world, wishes old and
young alike a Happy New Yearl 1t
