his age.
Your committee deem it neither necessary

IN the community, among whom he has spent
his whole life. To his professional brethren
we can say nothing which would increase
or alleviate their sorrow for hi death, or add
to the respect and aft ction with which they

10 early life, had been we'll cultivated, and he
was fine scholar as a lawyer, he was well
grounded in his profession; as an advocate, lie
was able and eloquent; as d brother and man,
he was kind, generous, and charitable. and ia |
every relation of life and under all circum-
stances, an at all times, he was courteous |
and polite in his bearing, and unblemished in |
his honor and integrity, and loved him as |
our friend and brother, and for his mem Try |
we will ever cherish the indest recollectIons |
Therefore,
RESOLVED LIST, That in the death of our |
friend and brother, w Vance Thompson, ESQ, |
our bar has lost one of its brightest members, |
and that in respect Tor his memory we will |
wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty |
days, and attend bis funeral tomorrow as a |
body.
RESOLVED End, That the Secretary of this |
meeting furnish to each of orr city papers, a |
copy of the proceedings, with a request to |
publish the same, ald send copy thereof to |
his children.
RESOLVED Ord, That the Chairman of this |

our bar, to present copy or these proceedings |
to each of courts: Chaucer y, Circuit,
Criminal and County, with a request that each |
court will have the same recorded in its min
utes.

Deacon Rogers, he came to me;
"Wife is comm around" said he.
IT reilly think she will worry through;

And his remcdies-light and water and air.

SCOTS be the glory, as you say!
