WHEREAS Smithton Lodge, No. l, A. +. & A. Ma
sons, this 18th day of January, 1873 consigned to
their last resting place the mortal remains of our late
venerable brother John w. Smith, it is betting that
proper mention should be made of some portion of
his life, acts, and characteristics, as q Mason.
He was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, in
1871; was married, had two sons and one daughter
all of whom are dead. None are left to mourn for
him.
He has been sixty-two years q Master Mason, and
while such has travelled through all the States and
Territories of the United States, the Canadas and
some parts of Europe, visiting Masonic Lodges, and
wherever he went giving and receiving Masonic in
formation.
Brother Smith was the founder of this Lodge His
fostering care relaxed, and he deemed it his
imperative duty to expunge every appearance Of evil
He was the first Master Mason that welded the CAV
el west of the Missouri, in Kansas, by calling the
craft to labor under dspensaton and charter from
the Grand Lodge of Missouri, in 1854, which brought
into action his eminent services and which has re-
suited in the formation of our present Grand Lodge
now represented by Ia Subordinate Lodges within
this Jurisdiction, 1873.
That he was in all respects absolutely without er-
rors no one will claim; but they from the head,
not from the heart.
To recount his many virtues would occupy too
much space and for this occasion, suce to say, that
he was the noblest work Of God, AN honest man.
Therefore, be it
be set apart to the memory of our late venerable
Brother, John W. Smith, and the proceedings of this
day set thereon in full detail recountng his DEATH at
Memphis, Tennessee, and his interment here.
Resolved, That copy Of these proceedings be sent
to the Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Kansas

Y The Bulletin says it is going to publish all
the County matters, such as delinquent lists,
road notices. statements of allowances, &C., free,
if it cannot get the County printing, so that its
readers may have the benefit of them. The Wa
thena Reporter started out on the same high
toned plan, but limbered on it in q very brief
length of time, when it found that the print
ing wouldn't come. The Bulletin will do the
same thing, when it finds it cannot bring the
Board to terms. That Balletin fellow doesn't
like to work for the poor people for nothing,
half as we'll rs he let's on.

printing at one-fourth the legal rate, and says

A SPECIMEN We have several times spoken
Of the persistent effort that is being made to or

County, party that will be left without an is
sue, IL the two leading parties Of this country
carry out the measures nov before Congress, -
It 10 likely they will do We have also referred
to the number Of persons engaged In the move
ment who have no conception Of finance, and who
would still he impecunious, If greenbacks grew
on trees. IL we should ASSERT that many Of them
EXPECT, IL their ideas are carried out, that Gov
ment would seud agents through the country
sowing greeubacks broadcast, that every man
might pick mp what he wanted, perhaps it would
be thought that we were trying to ridicule them.
But we are informed that at least one individual,
who is active and somewhat prominent in the
Greenback movement, actually insists that what
the country needs, and what must be accom-
plished by the Greenback party, is that Govern
ment issue sufficient amount of greenbscks to
make every man in the United States present
of 81 900, which shall be done, and the money
thus put in circulation This, he thinks, would
drive out hard times, and put every man op q
sound financial footing. Such mon do not seem
to comprehend, that il greenbacks were never 50
plenty, men would have to work to own them,
and that the only way to bring them would be
to raise somthing to exchange for them. 1t
would be a glorious country, if men could spend
their time in greenback tomfoolery, and Govern
ment wsuid furnish them with pockets full Of
money, without any labor on their part Green
backs would be valuable under, that arrange
ment. This, we suppose, is the millennium that
