Resolutions on Varner-
Mclntosh Memorial
The Daughters of the American Rev
olution typifies young America. With
their charter powers granted by the
national congress of America they rep
resent the blood and lineal descendents
of the early colonists. They stand to
day as sentinels over the graves of the
men and women who broke the chains
of British despotism and w rote a con
stitution of Independence. Patrick
Henry kindled the fires of the Revolu
tion, Jefferson wrote the Declaration
of Independence and Washington com
manded the Continental Army. In
deed, these were patriots. But their
lives are over and their last battles are
fought; their history is worthy to be
written on tablets of gold. The patri
otic descendents in the organization of
the I). A. R. will forever keep thechiv
alrous deeds of the men of Bunker Hill
and Yorktown memorable in the an
nals of history. Like the chosen wo
men of old when Cornelia pledged her
jewels, Dorcas plied her busy needle,
Marion sang her battle hymns, while
Mary watched and Martha served—the
Daughters of the American Revolution
will forever keep patriotic fires burning
in honor of America’s first patriots.
Therefore, be it resolved,
1. That the William Mclntosh chap
ter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution extend their thanks to
Miss Joe Varner for her magnificent
gift of the Mclntosh house and land as
set forth in her deed dated April 17, 1916.
2, That said gift shall be known as
the Varner-Mclntosh Memorial and
that Miss Joe Varner be made an honor
ary memberof this chapter, with all the
rights and powers granted to her under
the constitution and by-laws governing i

tions to Miss Joe Varner and the se

upon our minutes and have a copy

QUANTITY
How a Machine Does Our
Bookkeeping
A short time ago we installed a re
markable machine in our Accounting
Department—a machine which adds
and subtracts, tells the date, keeps
our books and gets out monthly state
ments. It does all this work much
faster than any bookkeeper could, and
has never been known to make a mis
take.
The installation of this Burroughs
Bookkeeping Machine means that our
accounts will be handled just as rap
idly and accurately as those of the
largest and most up-to-date banks in
the country.
Insures Accuracy
The fact that our figure work is
done on a Burroughs is a guarantee to
our customers of absolute accuracy in
the handling of their accounts. The
machine method of ledger posting
makes it impossible for a mistake to
get past unnoticed. This accuracy
insurance alone is important enough
to you and to us to justify the use of
the machine method, but there are

Better Service to You
The Burroughs will handle our fig

merly needed. This gives us more
time for other things—time to im
prove the service in every depart
ment of the bank.
Come in and see our machine book
keeping system in operation. We will
be glad to show you how the machine
makes entries in our books, how it
automatically adds in one column,
subtracts in another and so on and
how it makes mistakes impossible.
You will be welcome anytime.
We don’t want you to think of this
bank just as a place to deposit your

to have you keep as large balance with
us as possible. It is our desire to
render our patrons every service and
accommodation that can be reasonably
expected from us.
Talk over your business problems
