NEWFANE.
An Old and Prosperous institution.

Twenty-three out of &c corporators were
present on Tuesday at the annual meet
ing Of the Windham County Savings
bank. The new corporators elected are
A. c. Warren of this place, DIR. p. p.
White of Wiliamsville, Nathan Lawrence
Of West Townshend, d. F. Boutelle of
Townshend, Fred Underwood of Wards
boro and Harry Wood of Windham. The
trustees elected are p H. Rutter, II. II.
Holbrook, e. 3. Batchelder of Townshend;
w. c. Halliday, Dover; B. c. Eager,
Newfane; j. M Powers, Athens; F. A.
Dewitt, Newfane; G. b. Williams, Will
liamsville ]. II. Ware, Townshend T.
M. Allbee, Brookline, and ]. M. Kenny.
Auditors are w. G. Halliday, II. II. Hol-
brook, j. M. Powers. Treasurer Dewitt
has served eight years, after seven years
as assistant His grandfather, Austin
Birchard, was the first treasurer from
1854, 20 years, until he was 80 years old,
and this grandfather Dewitt was presi-
dent of the national bank of Elyria, Ohio,
over 40 years. The late Milon Davidson
was the second treasurer and he was
succeeded by the present incumbent. Be
sides Mr.. Rutter there have been three
presidents-Judge John Roberts, Col
Twitchell and Samuel Winslow. Arthur
Warren, the first named new director,
has at various times for 16 years been
clerk and assistant treasurer. The pres
ent paymaster of the New York Central
IL Hudson River railroad holds book No.
40, with original deposit of $40, which
has amounted to $780, About once in ten
years he sends his book for the recording
of interest.
The widow of Eugene Field, Chicago,
holds his bank book with deposit of So in
1854, and this book has never been sent
to the bank.
The sum of $4,000 has been added to the
surplus fund in the past year after paying
81 per cent. and all expenses. Deposits,
1898, 900; surplus, over $4,000; bonds on
the books at par value, $4,000, which,
If figured at market value, would amount
to additional $4,000 that II carried as an
asset would give the bank a surplus in
excess of 10 per cent. of deposits.
Naturally the bank does not announce the
possibility of paying 4 per cent. dividends
another year, but it will be seen that the
surplus is close upon the per cent. of
capital required by law to do so. The
average earnings of the bank besides ex-
penses and dividends have for several
years been $4,000
The annual dinner was served at the
Windham County hotel, several officials
being accompanied by their wives. Many
are the compliments heard concerning the
choice variety served by Landlord and
Mrs. George Davis on the occasion.

A Carload of Poultry Food.

C. H. Diller of Shippensburg, Penn, not

pounds OF poultry food. To some the purchase
Of SO large an amount at one time may seem
strange, but he explains his actions in the fol.

cellent article. Perhaps no better proof Of
my confidence in il caIf be offered than the
fact that after giving It a thorough trial in

l think Il cannot be excelled, even BY high
priced poultry foods which are being produced
by other manufacturers.

like a 'house warming" the roomy old

besides a thorough cleansing all over the
house. Twenty-one people from Will

Athens, a guest of Mrs. Batchelder from
Peru and Mr.. Putnam of Burlington
The supper was abundant, substantial and
especially dainty and attractive in varie-
ty. The tables were lighter by Candida
bra and never have there been so good
table furnishings in the house as at this
time. Mrs. Walter Wheeler and Floyd
Putnam of Williamsville played the organ
and violin, drawing forth a march in
which many couples wound in and out
through halls and several rooms, even
to the piazzas. Fifteen couples danced
at a time in the parlor and the home
going followed at midnight.
