Your Grandfather Banked Here! The yellowed pages of the First National Bank’s ledger used “way back in ’64” reveal the names of depositors whose grandsons and great-grandsons now call this, their banking home. The name of the First National on their bank book has meant Security and Service to three generations of a host o£ Creencastle families, whose established banking connections with the First National have passed from lather to son as a natural expression of confidence and high regard—won by sixty years of courtesy and friendly
co-operation.
LA REDON, Tex., Feb. 2.,—Unconfirmed advices received here late Friday night from the interior, stated De La Huerta, rebel chieftain, has fled from Vera Cruz.

The city council of Brazil took action on the impeachment of their mayor, James Q. Layne, well known in this city, where he has many relatives, and removed him from office. The charges were malfeasance in office, neglect of duty and incompetency. The vote for his impeach-
ment was unanimous.
The mayor was found guilty on seventeen specifications. Only two witnesses were examined. They were Clifford Luther, city clerk, and George Sheehan, city engineer, who testified that Layne had attended only eighteen of the thirty-one Council meetings in his term of office: that he conducted no City court nor kept a court docket, and that he was neg-
lectful of other duties.
Attorneys for Layne gave notice that they will appeal to the Circuit court. The Council, it is understood, will delay election of a new mayor until after Layne’s appeal is heard. Until December 13. 1922, Layne was a member of the city Council, being a council-man-at-large, having been elected on the Democratic ticket at the November, 1921, election. The Council was a tie, three Republicans and three Democrats having been elected with Mayor W. M.
