We have found, even among coun-
~ board members, some doubt as to
the wisdom of rushing through the
business of the annual meeting in
the extreme haste that has been
characteristic Of some of the meet
lngs, the last one notably. Such
taste, in any body, is conducive to
steam-roller methods and things are
railroaded through that many of the
members have only hazy idea of
and might oppose If given time for
careful deliberation. The business
chat comes before the annual meet
ing should not be rushed through
without due consideration, so that
every member will know what he is
doing.

The State Bank of Ladysmith is

rary counter with one Of massive
quarter sawed oak, the top of which
is surmounted with Ornamented
stained glass. The back and under
part of the counter is fitted up with
drawers and cupboards of the same
elegant finish. They have a vault 5
KS feet. This will only be used for
the storage of papers. A large De-
bold steel safe rests near the front
window, where night or day it is in
full view of the street, which would
make it hard proposition for burg
lars to tackle. 1t Is furnished with
a time lock. The room Is finished
in oak shade while the floor is hard
maple In the rear is room fitted
up for directors and consultation
room. The banking room can be en-
tered from either street.
The building itself is two stories,
30x60 feet, with stone basement
and brick walls. 1t Is constructed in
substantial manner and being on
the corner presents an imposing ap-
pearance. The front entrance to the
banking room is of ornamental iron
finish while near the top carved in
stone are the words, Bank 1903"
The basement has large front room
which is rented for barber shop.
