. Our Aim in Business
WE DESIRE to make.the First
National the Bark of the
People. The small depositor re
ceives the same courteous treat
ment and consideration that is ex
tended to the largest, within the
limits of safe and conservative
banking-. Officers give personal
attention to all details. Directors
meet regularly and frequently, and
keep closely in touch with the
current business. Every safe
guard known to safe and successful
banking is availed of; and our past
success is the best criterion by
which to judge the security of the
future.

the house where she had reigned as
cook for several years she announc
.cd briefly that she had returned "f o'
awhile" and seemed disinclined to
ward explanations until the' next
evening, when she unburdened her
heart to the mistress of the house
hold. - ;
"Nobody needn't ever go to tell
me againr dat thutteen ain't a terri
ble oniiicky number, Miss Clemmy,"
she said gloomily. "I gueas'l knows
now how onlucky 'tis. Dey was
thutteen pussons, Miss Clemmy, at
my wedding yesf day, and dat wed
ding nebber came off 't fU !"
"Why, Phoebe, how strange, how
very strange!" and .the lady looked
most sympathetic. "But whatever
happened," she said conscientiously,
"of course jou know, Phoebe, the
fact of there being thirteen persons
at the wedding couldn't have had
anything to do with it."
" 'Deed it did, Miss Clemmy' and
Phoebe's face took" on its most de
termined look. "Ain' you under
