WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Divine Prov
idence to TemOy from this life Gen.
Samuel Benton, late a member of this
bar, and the members thereof sharing in
the deep sorrow this sad event has pro-
dcued, are DESTROYS of manifesting their
sensibility on the occasion; therefore,
be il
Res0lrod, That in the death Of Gen.
Benton the bar of Mississippi has lost one
of its most genial, h~igh-tOned, honorable
and able members; the State a wise and

On the death Of John Il. Anderson, Esq, who
d1ed Oct 90, isct.
We know that death is the common
lot Of all, and it is no especial cause for
wonder to find vacant to-day the place
which yesterday some beloved friend
made cheerful, and to learn that the
stalWart form and the bounding heart
are asleep in the silent darkness of the
grave. But when the pure, the good,
and the great are taken away from US,
and are broken the shining links of love
and reverence which bound Us to them,
it is but meet that we who are left be-
hind them to finger a little longer upon
the rugged shores Of life, should erect
some signals along the way they went,
to lead those who come after to the same
lofty goal Of beloved memory here, and
of Glessedness hereafter and,
WHEREAS, Our Heavenly Father has
seen nit to call up, from his home here,
to his Eternal Home our cherished
friend and companion at the bar, John
II. Anderson; therefore,
ResOirCd, That we cannOtallOw the oc-
casion 10 pass without an expression of
our high appreciation Of, and our vepe-
ration for, the large abilities, the noble
character, and the ~gentleness and chris
tian demeanOr which marked the life of
our deceased brother, and for him
the love and trustful confidence of all
with whom he associated nor can
we omit, without injustice TO ourselves,
to count ourselves among the number Of
those who mourn for his death as for the
loss of one near and dear, and to mingle
our grief, in community Of sorrow, with
that of his widow and children,
Resolved, That the circuit court of this
county be requested to cause the clerk of
the court to spread these resolutions upon
its minutes and to send a copy of the
same, under the seal of the court, to the
widow Of our lamented brother.
HOWARD FALCONER. Chairman.
