INTERESTING SERVICE

The service at the Congregational
church Sunday evening was very inter-
esting and instructive. The speaking
part of the program was divided into
four parts, and each speaker presented
the most important event or tendency
of the year 1906 from the stand point
of the business in which he is engaged.
Atty. Frank Sargent, spoke from
the stand point of the lawyer, and
stated that the most important ten
dency of 1906 from the lawyers point
of view was the enactment of legis-
lation favorable to the people at
large.
Geo. w. Mead, from the business
mems point of view, stated that the
greatest thing was the unusual bust
ness prosperity and the tendency
manifest of the drawing together of
the laboring man and the employer.
From the physicians point of view.
DR.. Rockwell stated that the most
important tendency was the success
with which the medical world was
grapeling with the great white
plague typhoid fever, pneumonia
and small poX. Greater strides had
been made during the past year. he
believed, than any year previous.
Supt. H. S. Youker stated that the
greatest tendency from the educators
point of view, waS the remarkable
advance made in the matter of the
education of the common people, and
the great growth of the institutions
of learning.

tional Bank Met in Semi.An.
nual Session and Provide for
Increasing Business.

The directors of the Wood County
National Bank, met at their banking
house on Tuesday, January 1st, in

After declaring their usual divid-
ends, they added enough to the sur
plus account, to make the same at
this time fifty thousand dollars
($50,0OO), which with the capital of the

further in taxing care of their in
~creasing business.
This banking institution is certainly
making remarkable progress and
stands at the head of the banking in
situations of this county. The
officers and stockholders in this in
%stitution certainly have reason to be
proud of the constantly increasing
volumn of business, they are now en-
joying.

teacher in the public schools for the
purpose of going as a missionary to

twelve square miles. Strange ideas
