Randolph NatIonaI Bank.

Mr.. Royal r. Dubois has resigned as
cashier Of the Randolph National bank on
account of impaired eyesight, but remains
as one OF the directors and will be at the
bank much of the time, though he no
longer feels able to do the active work OF
the cashiership.
Mr.. Dubois has been cashier and direc-
tor of the bank ever since its organization,
May s, 1875, and it is with regret that the
directors part with his services as is mani
fest from the following resolution adopt
ed at their last meeting.
WHEREAS, Royal 7. Dubois, for per-
sonal reasons has rendered his resigna-
ton as cashier of this bank, which office
he has held ever since its organization
twenty years ago, therefore
RESOLVED, That in his retirement, the
bank loses competent and faithful ofti-
Ger, with whose services the Board OF d.
rectors are reluctant to dispense; but as
he retains his place on that Board, his loss
as cashier is in part thereby compensated,
Mr.. Fred e. Dubois has also resigned as
assistant cashier, position which he has
50 we'll filed for the past eight or nine
years. 1t was anticipated that he would
assume the duties OF cashier whenever
his father retired, but failing health me-
cessitates his seeking, at least temporarily,
decided changecin climate. He and his
wife will go soon to Colorado to spend the
next few months Mr.. Willard Gay has
been appointed assistant cashier.
Mr., Charles g. Dubois, who has been
appointed cashier, is q son OF Hon. Vim.
H. Dubois, president OF the bank. He
was born in New York City, March 22nd,
1870 and attended the graded school in
this village. He was graduated from the
High school at the age Of seventeen in the
class OF 1887, and from Dartmouth college,
with honors, in the class OF 1891; since
which time he has been in the employ of
the Western Electric company OF New
York. His health becoming impaired by
overwork and malarial trouble, he was
obliged to leave there and returned to YER
mont the first Of June to remain at least
until his health was restored.
In his fathers Office, when the latter
was, State treasurer, and while attending
school, and during vacations when in col
lege, and since in a responsible position
with the Western Electric company for
the past Jour years, he has gained knowl-
edge of business and an experience in it
that well fits him for the position oflcash-
