ternity cases 50 and tuberculosis 20.
Still the good work goes on and
the public is asked to help. The

about them, and many are too proud
to ask for help. Anyone knowing Of
family needing assistance is asked
to telephone the Charities office,

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

WHEREAS, James Bell Mcneil,
Vice-President of this Bank, de-
parted this life on Tuesday, Oc-
tober 29th, at Pensacola, and,
WHEREAS, We have been pro-
foundry impressed by the open,
frank. and manly traits of mind
and character manifested in his
life and labors, and are deeply ap-
preciative of the great ability, con-
slant fidelity and unremitting per-
sona1 devotion with which he dis
charged every duty and trust COM
mitted to his care. therefore
BE IT RESOLVED, That in
memory of our association with
him and in recognition OF his SER
vices to this institution, this Reso-
luton be incorporated in the per-
manent records of this Board Of
Directors.
Our friend, born at Kyles Land
ing, n. c., on August 81, 1870,
came of sturdy Scotch stock, and
he took pride in the part his an
cestors had in the great fight for
American freedom and in the fact
that his family have always stood
AOi ti1C pei VI lHC
which they helped to win. He was
a man unse1fish and loyal to his
country, with an abiding faith in
it's future good influence and power
in bringing about the betterment
of mankind everywhere. He had
genius for industry which made
him a master OF details, and his
constructive yet conservative
mind, together with an intuitive
ability to get at the heart of both
sides of a proposition, made him a
trusted adviser of men Of Large ST
fairs.
The American National Bank has
been fortunate in having him as
a member of its Board. He gave
to its affairs and to those of it's
clients the helpful, alert and con-
scientious attention which he al
ways gave wherever he accepted
responsibility, and the entire Of
fetal staff joio in deploring his
death and offering this tribute to
his memory.

of this resolution be engrossed and

How Doctors Treat
Colds and Grippe

Ask and physician or druggist and
he win tell you that the best and only
effective remedy for a bad cold, sore
throat, influenza, or Ia grippe is what
he calls brisk calomeI purge" which
means big dose of calomel at bed
time But as the old style has some
very unpleasant and dangerous quail
tiles physicians and druggists are now
recommending the improved nausea
less calomel, called 'sCalotaDs,'' which
is purified and refined from the sick
ening and dangerous effects and whose
medicinal virtues are vastly improved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of Water-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your diet, plea
sures or work. Next morning your
cold has vanished and your entire sys-
tenn is purified and refreshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five cents.
Your druggist guarantees Calotabs by
refunding the price if you are not de-
-lighted.-Adv.
