he is not found In the bank each '1usi.

president and active head OF the Insti-
tuition. is a gentleman who mas made
a success by honest dealing and square
business methods. He gives the bank
much Of his personal attention and it
Is to his untiring energy and constant
vigilance that much OF the recent
growth Of the bank is due. Judge w.
s.. Raymond. vice president, who is
well known to all the people of our
county. has been connected with the
Institution since its organization in
May. 1891. His close attention to the
interests of the bank has at all times
