? f OUR POLICY. The policy of the Bank of Williamsburg has always v been, and will in the future more than ever, be to lend its financial aid and influence toward helping" the de * serving, progressive and 'needy people,rather than to aid and assist the wealthy y man to carry on his speculations and greedy practice of gain. We shun large, risky loans to any one person, firm or corporation*. This, we foresee, will do much V\ more toward the upbuilding of our couutry and thereby repay those people who re> pose so much confidence in our institution and patronise |t so largely. Conservatism must attend our every act aqd doing. We propose distributing our loans with view to safety first, then to uniform development of our section.

There is no objection at all to printing the article save the simple ijtct that the writer did not sign his or her name, which, we have stated several thousand times, is inevitably required, "not necessarily for publication but merely as a guarantee of good faith." If the writer desires to see the com munication referred to in print in this newspaper he or she will i have to let us know who is responsible for the article. ^ ; We are informed that the \ package of "Records" addressed to Salters Depot failed to reach . that office last week. We check Krif4 ha ') up every paena^c uciuic ' pers are-put in the office,so that the Salters package must have got lost after leaving our hands. I We know it is very anuoying^o : our subscribers to pay for the paper and not get it, but all we can do is to print the paper and | put it in the postoffice. It causes us much greater worry and dis! appointment, we know, than our subscribers feel,but we are pow1 erless to regulate the United States mails,or to improve their efficiency.
