At a stated meeting of Clinton Lodge, No.
16, A.. F.. & A.. NJ. held on Saturday.

to draft resolutions expressive of the
feelings ofthe Lodge in regard to the death
ofour aged Bro, Judge HENRY G. JOHNSTON.
The committee reported the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That it is with feelings of heart
felt sorrow that we learn that our venerable
Brother Henry Goodloe Johnston, departed
this life on the 18th inst, at the advanced
age of 50 years, Z months and 10 days,
having been a Mason 66 years and months.
Resolved, That although owing to the
fullness of the time allotted for mans life,
to which he had attained, his departure
hence could not long have been delayed,
vet, when the melancholy fact is announced
our hearts are smitten with grief, and we
mourn as for an elder brother, a father, who
had long lived in our midst extending his
paternai care over our Masonic household.
The aII-devouring Scythe OF Time has cut
the brittle thread of life which bound his
immortal soul to its earthly tenement, and
left it free to soar to the realms of bliss to
enjoy the reward of the just made perfect.
Resolved, That in this dispensation of
Providence We are again admonished that
there is no exemption from the universal
decree, that it is appointed once for man to
Gus Mason has yielded in calm resignation
to the sentence. Let us, in imitation of his
faith in the Divine promises, humbly bow
in meek submission to the will of our SUI
preme Grand Master who doeth all things
we'll.
Resolved That in the death of our veneer
able Brother this Lodge has lost its first and
oldest member, he having been its first
| Master, and member forty-four years,
one whom we loved and whose amiable
| qualities as a man and a Mason will
| ever be fondly cherished in our memories.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathiZe
with the family of our deceased brother in
their bereavement and tender to them our
| sincere coincidence.
Resolved, That in testimony of the respect
and affection which we entertained for the
deceased, we will wear the usual badge OF
mourning for the space of thirty days.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions,
be furnished to the WEEKLY CLARION and
Kinds County Gazette for publication, also
| to the family of the deceased.

In 1776 there was sitting at the table
of the commandment of Metz, in Germa-
ny, distinguished scion of an ancient
noble French family. During the con-
versation at the table, the Duke of Glou-
cester, brother TO the King of England,
spoke of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, just put forth by the Anglo-Amer-
lean colonies, and of the strong measures
adopted by the British ministry to crush
the rising rebellion. The young noble
man listened in silence. He was a boy
in form and personal appearance, just past
eighteen; but the heart of patriot and
hero was beating beneath his closely but
toned coat, and his imagination and zeal
were fired at the recital of people fight
ing for liberty. He rose from the table,
hurriedly made his arrangements to re-
turn to Paris, and revealed his high re-
solve to his equally enthusiastic young
wife. he came to America, sought the
acquaintance of the Commander-in. Chief

GOLDEN PROLIFIC
COTTON SEED

DURANT, Miss, Dec. IL, 1870.
We, the undersigned, residents Of Durnnt
and vicinity, take great pleasure in recon-
mending to our friends and the planting COM
munity generally, the
Golden Prolific COttOn\ seed!
We believe this seed to be superior 10 the
"Dixon" or any other seed we know Of
We also cheerfully bear testimony to the
fact that our friend, John G. Davis, made nine
bales of cotton from Golden Prolific seed, on
seven acres of land and that land not the best
by any means. The chief points Of excellence
of the GOLDEN PROLIFIC COTTON SEED
are
First-The foliage is smaller, making it best
for bottom lands.
Second-The seed are fully one-third small
er, consequently more lint.
Third-fhe staple is much finer and longer.
Fourth-The yield is fully double that of
any other cotton.
We cheerfully recommend the seed offered
for sale by John b. Davis and parties order
ing Of him may rest assured that they will get
genuine seed, and be fairly and honestly
dealt with.

BRO. Gray Oh NOn-Payment of
Dues.


Dues.
CLINTON, Miss, April %, 1871.
Bro. POWER: In your reply to my article
on non-payment of dues, you dissent from
my view of the subject in one particular
j understand your idea to be, that if de-
linquent fails to appear after having been
duly notified, and is not eXcused,% by the
Lodge, his membership is forfeited by the
ODeration of See. 81. Bylaws, without any
action of the Lodge. l think that is a
forced and Hntenable construction of the
Law, as it expressly states that after such
notification and summons he shall be liable
to be deprtred of membership. 1t does not
say that his membership is thereby forfeited.
Ii that was the language of the section
your view would be correct. But he only
laws himself liable to be deprived of mem
bership; he subjects himself to the punish
ment of being deprived, Invested of or hav-
ing his membership taken Gdt1g from him.
Now, by whom and in what manner is he
Invested of his membership, but by reso-
luton adopted by the Lodge? When his
failure to answer the summons is announced
by the Secretary, the Master would ask
What action will the Lodge take in this
case? When a brother would move, that
further time be allowed, or, he be excused.
or, be deprived of membership; and the
motion, whatever it might be, would be
submitted to the Lodge and decided by
vote. That is the only mode in which he
could be deprived of his membership: it
must be by the action of the Lodge.
To your question, 8 If it required the
action of the Lodge to deprive OF member
ship for Don-payment of dues, why not re-
quire a like formality to re-instate - L
answer, that the mode of restoration poin-
ted out in Sec. -, is reconeileable to the
above action by the fact that it is specially
provided by the law, and is consequent on
the fulfilment of the condition provided,
andis granted in consideration of his being
still chargeable with dues, and paying all
that accrue after such deprivation, up TO the
time of hisapplication for such restoration.
Under this law brother is not non-aliilia-
which is but temporarily suspended on the
contingency expressed in Sec. y, which, If
complied with, does not require the action
of the Lodge TO confirm it.
GEO. III. GRAY, SR.
@NoTE.-It requires the action of the
Lodge to excuse him.

DANIEL MAsoN-DEAD BEAT, &C.:
SIRRAH!-Your remarkable production
of the 10Th inst, is before me and in reply L
have to say, that your IAIPUDENCE is only
equaled by your STUPIDITY in supposlng
that you were smart enough to inveigle
zone or 300" dollars out of Harmony Lodge,
No. /, / desire also to remark that If the
ssworthy br0thern-who is yOurself-proba-
bly-waits until he is relieved through the
fundamentally of your letters to the vari-
Gus Lodges, he will be either dead or too
old to enjoy the relief when 1t comes, In
conclusion permit me to say that you have
made mistake in attempting to carry out
and practice your professionalism OF a
DEAD BEAT-by exciting the compassion of
the Masonic family thereby to enrich your
self. You have, undoubtedly, more of the
natural talent necessary to WELD success
fully an az, ShoUel or hoe, than to swindle
NIasons. Go to work and earn your living
like an honest man. 1t takes a smart man
TO be a successful rascal, and not possessing
that qualification, you had best retire.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

OyNnPlOIIlS OF OlSSdSeQ Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, ac-
companied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of Prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de-
ranged.

CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
