demanded to know wherein the question

Resolutions Of Respect.

At a meeting of the Board OF Directors
of the First National Bank Of Alamo
gordo, New Mexico, held Wednesday
December Twelfth, A. D. 1906, the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed:
Whereas 1t was the will of Almighty
God to remove from our midst, our
friend and Director, A. P. Jackson;
that while we bow in submiss ion to His
divine decree, we deeply mourn the loss
OF one who was an active and concien-
tious director of this bank from the
time of its organization in 1900; whose
advice was often sought and taken and
who was always willing to lend his aid
to advance the interests of the trust
committed to his charge. Honest and
fair in his banking relations; watchful
and careful in subserving the interests
intrnsted to him, the loss Of his guiding
hand and sagacious mind will leave q
gap in our Board which will be difficult
to iill.
That we offer to his bereaved widow
and family our heartfelt sympathy, and
direct that these resolutions be spread
upon the records OF tho bank and a
copy of them furnished to the family Of
our deceased director.
Certified from the minutes:

that this structure whose foundation we
have this day laid, should be erected
near this beautiful city of Alamogordo.
Natures bounty of seen ic beauty, and
wealth of natural resources have been
well supplemented by patriotic, God

and noble spirit OF self-sacrifice enabled
them to pursue to the end the arduous

May this building whose walls will be

in truth deserve to prosper and health
