OUR PRESIDENT IS DEAD.

ODh HhkSlDES 10 OEAD-
We cannot but pay tribute TO the
f~aithfuiness with which, for more than
eighteen years, Mr.. Nathaniel jacob
stood at the head of the "echanics
Home Association.
During this time, we have seen the
building and loan business of our city
grow from small beginnings TO enor-
nous proportions, with never a loss
or failure.
Mr.. Jacobs conservatism, his bust
ness acumen and his sound judgment
have, again and again, stood us in
I! good stead and been as a sheet anchor
10 uS.
Our progress under his presidency
has beer an unbroken and increasing
success.
But not alone in his capacity as
president of our association would we
pay our tribute to him; rather would
we express our highest appreciation
Of him as a man. While economical
| and even frugal in business. his per-
sonal generosity was well known 10
all. and the whole community knew
his love for little children and his un-
| o~steutatious charity toward those i'll
distress. He had many friends and
no enemies. He was a we'll read and
! genial cOnVerSatiOnaliSt. He was a
good friend and a valuable citizen.
He held many positions OF honor n
trust, and was faithful to them all,
Throughout his long life, he eXhib-
tied in a remarkable degree the ig-.,ia
Of the noble race to which he belong
ed; especially those of fidelity IL
tenacity of purpose. Fro the day
when in his early manhood he won
the medal FROM his sovereign. Queen
Victoria, for faithful service on a
battleship in Eastern seas, to the day
in his ripe old age, when he laid his
honors down, to sleep in the soil of
his adopted country.
Fidelity to trust was one Of the
most prominent traits of his character
and loyalty to conviction a part Of his
very life.
I We will miss him, the community
will miss him, and all will remember
him with kindly appreciation and per-
sonal affection, for many years.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy
to his family, in their loss, and yet,
would congratulate them on the herit-
age they have, in memory of his life
Concerning the death Of Mr.. Jacob,
the New Bern Sun says:
THE death Of Mr.. N. jacob. OF VIII
mingtOn, removes one of the best citi-
! Zens of the state from active useful
ness. His good deeds will live after
him. He was an enthusiastic Odd Eel
low, and was diligent and earnest IL
caring for the orphans, a trait of man
hood hat shuld be found in larger
measure in more Of our people"
The Charlton Express has the fol-
lowing:
wilmington has suffered a great
loss in the death of Mr.. Nathaniel
Jacob. Among many other good quail
tiles was his devotion to the Odd Eel
lows Orphan Home at Goldsboro. The
orphans of that institution have lost
n Of their best friends"
