W h e r e a s death for the first time in what extent h is tory of the S p a r t a .State bank

has entered tbe d i rec tora te and taken the oldest and one of tbe most respect-ed members of the board of directors , J a s o n 8 . Bradford , and vice-president of tbe S p a r t a Sla te bank, whose noble life and cha rac te r drew him very cios»-to all the officers and di rectors of tbe bank.

Me was frequent ly called to serve tbe bank in va r ious ways because of tils good jrtdguH-nt, fa irness and years of pract ical t ra iuing lu business af-fairs . IXia s t rong belief in fa i rness , justice and good will to all men never allowed him to swerve from ids duty when called Upon to act In bis official capaci ty for the bank and always proving himself to be the r igh t man in tbe r ight place.

We shall miss him from our meet-ings, not wholly on account of bin wise council and va luab le services, but because of h is cheerful aud pleas-ant disposi t ion which a lways t d d e d so mueb to our business meetings; ilierefr»re, be it

Resu l t ed , while we deplore the death of our Vice-President J a s o n S Bradford w<? will ever eheerish his memory and emula te his good and uobto qual i t ies , which will make us s t ronger and better to meet tbe re-sponsibi l i t ies tha t l ie before us, and it i s fu r ther

Resolved, that we extend our sin-cere wyrnpatby to ttie mourrtir g family snd f r iends of the dueraaed, and tha t a copy of th"«e resolu t ions be spread on the uiinukKS < the bauk proceedings at our next r egu la r meeting.
