HARMONY THE WATCHWORD

The Mechanics Bank will reopen
with the cordial cooperation Of the
Banking Division Of the State Cor
poration Commission. The harmon
izing OF all interests seem to have
been accomplished and the confidence
Of the colored people has been Sill
blime. White and colored people
have done all in their power to re-
assure the colored people. The bal
ancing Of passbooks will not be
permitted to, delay the restoration of
the institution to its former owners.
Many questions have been asked
by some. 1t was reported that the
Chancery Court had adjourned for
the term. This has nothing to do
with the lase as all necessary mat
ters are dealt with by the Judge in
chambers.

UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY

Time is the test of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test in DEBORAH. No DEBORAH resident
who suffers backache, or annoying
urinary ills can remain unconvinced
by this twice-told testimony.
Sever Olson, prop. blacksmith shop,
w. Water ST., DEBORAH, says: MANY
years Of hard work as a blacksmith
has weakened my kidneys and
brought on attacks of backache.
When | have these attacks, it is
impossible for me to stoop over to
shoe a horse, because of the sharp
pains that catch me through the
small of my back. My kidneys acted
irregularly and the secretions are
highly colored. ! never let the
trouble get a good hold on me be-
cause | always use Doan's Kidney
Pills from Engbertson's Drug Store
and they Away cure me up>in fine
shape"
The above statement was given
September 81, 1915 and on February
o, 1920, Mr.. Olson added: l have
| the same confidence in Doan's as
ever. / gladly confirm all ! said in
] my former statement in praise OF
/ them. | take a few Doan's once in
a while and am never troubled with
backaches and they keep my kidneys
