filled the position of Cashier, willsev
his connection with that institution the
the first of the coming year to take
the General Agency of a wealthy and

a source of qualification, however, to
know that he will continue to reside
in Henderson, Two such valuable
citizens as Mr.. Daingertield and his

place as Cashier. n courteous and
agreeable gentleman, and a careful and
accurate business man. he will make
a capable and efficient officer.

return to his former home in Boston,

coined him as citizen of the town
and are sorry that we are to lose him.
The departure of Mr.. Vose and his
estimable and accomplished young wife
