DEATH.

Resolutions, offered by Bro. Geo. r.
Duncan, and adopted by johnson Lodge
No. 274 A. +, and A. NJ. Fall Branch
East Tenn.
Brethren, since our last regular COM
munication it has pleased Him who holds
the eternal destinies of men in his hand
to remove from oar midst, one of our be-,
loved bretheren in the person of Doctor
JOHN h. CoTTRELL, who departed this
life on the evening of January the 26th,
1874, and fell asleep in Jesus,
lie was one of the first Members of this
Lodge, was its first Tyler, which Office he
held for some time, and discharged its
duties with credit to himself aud honor
to the Lodge.
As a Mason he possessed those prere>
q~uisites which should adorn the really
good man, and jealous Mason, q christian
heart, a silent tongue, and an attentive
ear.
He was found worthy the highest hons
or that Symbolic Masonry can bestore
upon man. But alas all the earthly
hOnors which are conferred upon n en- can
not rescue them from death. Bro. Cot
trell has lain aside the working tools and
implements Of our ancient and honorable
order, and has passed through the portals
of death and although when We paid the
last tributes of respect to his memory we
consigned his body to the earth, we con-
fdently believe his spirit is fitting amid
the delightful scenes of Paradise and is
enjoying the bliss of the finally faithful
in that house not made with hands, eternal
and in the Heavens.
Resolved that we recognize in this dis
pensation of Gods providence, a severe
stroke, not only upon us, in the loss of q
Jealous Mason, and of the privilege of en-
joying his presence around this sacred
Alter-but the dear husband is gone, the
loving Father is no more-the kind re,
.ative and affectionate friend has passed
away to that cline from whose bourne nc
traveller has e'er returned.
Resolved, that we tender Bro. John B
Cottrells family our deepest sympathy in
this sad hour of their sore bereavement
We comment them to those precious
promises contained in that word uttered
by God himself for their consolation
the Bible.
Resolved, that the bretheren of John,
son Lodge, No PA of f. and A. NJ. wear
the usual badge Of mourning for thirty
days.
Resolved that a copy of this expression
of our profound respect for our deceased
brother be furnished his family.
By order Of the Lodge

From the report of the Treasurer of
the washington County Agricultural
and Mechanical Society,"" published in
.o>day's paper it will be seen that the So
cicty after making all the improvements,
paying for the land and paying neal six
hundred dollars in premiums, has still u
surplus Of eleven hundred dollars due the
company on stock subscribed. Which
shows as We stated long since that taking
stock in this enterprise was a good and
wise investment.
The Fair we believe has done more to
stimulate the farmers and create an ans
bition to excel their neighbors, than all
other movements combined. Our paper
has been a faithful and earnest friend to
this enterprise, and we expect to contin-
ue our efforts to make it the best county
fair in the South.
