Glance Ger our past and tell of present hope.

Wa backward Ky through lapse Of years
Wen dream of 1hetford smiling through our tears
As in our fancy there we meet again
Only joy remembered, we forget the pain
Friends we have been through all our work aud

In many homes, but still we're one IN hearts
Many the days may be before we meet
And may Gods love and mercy guide our feet.

This afternoon the two individual book
keepers of the Union National, Frank d

affidavits by Cashier Labarthe Colomb
it appears, is only "constructively'' under
