bank will not allow the word banquet
to be used, insisting 1t - merely u
dinner. There are no Invitations is-
sued, every stockholder being sup
posed to invite a friend, and every
friend friend, in short everyone is
welcome. The neighbor from How
ard greeted the neighbor from Car
roll and the spirit OF good fellowship
was contagious.
Prior to the dinner, the stockhold-
ers elected the following directors:
