have made the statement that in mal1- ing mortgage loans on real estate in the city of Providence for the Wind ham County Savings bank, 1 have re- ceived a commission or rake-off so- called, I desire in this public manner to deny the charge. Such statements are utterly false and without the least foundation, and are in keeping with the warfare waged against the bank and its loyal officers.
 During the past five or six years the bank has loaned several hundred thou san dollars on first mortgages on high class real estate in the city of Provi- dence. All the loans have been made through the real estate and loan agen- cy of the Robert L. Walker company, and are what might be termed gilt edged' securities, paying interest at the rate of per cent, and are among the very best securities held by the bank
 The officers of the Walker company have publicly declared that no cOmrnis- sion has ever been paid to the presi- dent, treasurer or any other officer of the savings bank in consideration of such business transactions.

Jacob Fryer.

The Bruce Herald a New Zealand paper, contains the following obituary:
 An old settler in the Clarendon district in the person of Jacob Fryer, died at his residence on Tuesday morn ing aged 83 years. MT. Fryer was not comparatively a very old resident, but came to the country in 1875. He was born in Worcestershire, England, and brought out his wife and family with him. At home he followed the occu- patton of miner but on arrival in this district he at once found work on the railways, and helped to put through the Round Hill tunnel on the Lawrence branch. After this he was in charge of the Real MacKay coal pit, down the river.
 Eventually he took up land in the Clarendon district and resided there until his death. He was a man of pronounced views on certain things, but was of a kindly nature and 1t can be truly said of him that he had no enemies. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Young (Clarendon) and Mrs. Me- 1eoid CWest Coast and four sons, Henry and John (North Island), Will liam (Orepuki), and Samuel (Claren- don). He leaves twenty three grand children and twelve great grandchil- dren. The funeral took place at the Clarendon cemetery. the Rev. T. N. Cuttle officiating"
 Jacob Fryer was the second of a family of sixteen children and has out lived all the other members. He is the last one of the sixteen. Henry Fryer of Wtlltmantic is nephew of Jacob Fryer and well remembers his uncle and family taking passage for New Zealand in 1875. It cost his uncle at that time one hundred pounds, Eng fish money, for the tickets for New Zealand purchased for his six children, his wife and himself.
