The announcement of the death of
our president, ]. Hunt Smith, is re-
ceived with profound regret and sor-
row, We feel that we have not only
lost a valued leader and a willing as
sistant in the conduct of the business
Of the bank, but a most genial and
generous companion and friend. Ever
ready to assist those in need, his purse
and his heart were always open to
calls for help, and there are many who
can testify to the willingness and the
readiness of his generosity and sym
pathy.
Mr. Smith had been president Of this
bank for the past 20 years, having
been elected January II. 1887. Through
all his long term Of Office the bank has
had the benefit of his best judgment
and ability. His natural fine busi-
ness capacity, stronghold and enlarged
by his connections with large and i'm
portant organizations, rendered him a
valued counsellor and guide.
We sympathize with his bereaved
family in their sad affiiction, and
though our words of sympathy cannot
lessen the pain of their great loss. yet
we feel constrained to put on record
that their sorrow is ours also.
