noon laid aside and the entire atmos-

into one of social pleasure.
The reception rendered Capt. Frank
| M. Riley, President of the Bank, by
the directors, commemorating the
! fifty years of continuous service of
Capt. Riley in every one of the cleri-
cal positions, was of more than ordi-

o'clock in the afternoon until o'clock
II In the evening. The four hours Capt.
Riley stood in his private Office and
received the hundreds of people pre-
Senting themselves to him. Men in

professional men, business men, ar
tisans, agriculturists. Men who have
done business with the Cumberland

relations with the institution, were in
the long line who were presented to
Capt. Riley. Soldier comrades, finan-
cial associates, ministers, physicians,
came and congratulated Capt Riley
upon his years of active service and
expressed themselves that much of the
success of the old bank was due to
the President and his efforts.

with the manifestation of good will
upon the part of the representative
citizenship of the community, so evil
