speculative opinion was of the same I'M
favorable nature as that which has been
received daily for some time past.
Call money opened at per cent and re-
newals were made at that figure COM

WITH this issue passes the year
1913, and with it goes many ex-
periences, pleasures and disap-
pointments; but, after all, life is
made up of much the same hap
penings each year, and our pleas
ures, our trouble and our ambi.
tions vary only as the widening
experience is able to view and take
advantage of the opportunities. AS
life passes the capacity to enjoy
recurring situations either in busi-
ness, or pleasure, change with the
very nature of the life we are living,
and as the responsibility rests
heavier; enthusiasm fails to respond
in its wonted exhuberance; but
nevertheless life brings happiness
under all conditions. As a whole |
the year 1913 has been filled with
advanced opportunities, which have
helped to make the whole COM
munity happier and better, and the
coming year of 1914 will be a sue
cess or failure, just in proportion
as we put forth intelligent effort
for the purpose Of building up the
home, thecommunity and the State.
Look upon the broader side of
and they will affect not I
only the self, but of the community. !
and act for the best interest of the
whole; when this point is reached,
he individual will be better and I
iave more opportunity to progress a

'iness. To one and all we COM
mend this thought, and wish a d
