CHEROKEE LODGE No, 9, |. Q. Q. f., !
Marietta Ga, Sept 9th, 1870. !
Again this Lodge has been visited by that
messenger that is no respector Of persons
and il is with sadness that we announce that
our brother DARLINGTON KING is no more.
During his atllcion we are informed that
he was eaml in spirit. and bore his pain with.
out mumur and while we bow in humble
submission to the painful and inscruiihle
decree of the Grand Master of the universe.
yet we can but mourn the loss OF one SO dear
to us all,
70 the members of Cherokee Lodge he
was like brother indeed, always looking
to the best interest of the Lodge, and to the
welfare of his brethren in our beloved Order,
ever giving words of cheer and encourag-
ing lis to II faithful discharge of our several
duties lie was ever faithful to our beloved
Order, never being off duty when the High
Priest would enable him to be at his post -
Kind and respectful to all his brethren, to
his parents, and his friends. 1t is with
pleasure that we record his many virtues,
but with sad hearts his demise,
Whereas, on the It'll day Of September,
1879 the Grand Master of the universe in
his AllwiseProvidence has seen fit to remove
from our midst our beloved brother Past
Grand, Darlington king-und whereas, he
was faithful jealous and true member of
this Lodge his interest being untiring and
seemingly unweary.
Therefore, resolved, That in the death Of
brother Darlington King, suffering humani-
ty has lost true friend and the community
a worthy young man, and Cherokee Lodge
devoted and energetic member. 1t is with
sad hearts we remember that we shall no
more have his council nor his encouraging
voice in our Lodge, yet we are consoed by
the thought of his name being enrolled in
the Grand Lodge above, where there shall
be no more pain or suffering and that he has
Joined that Lodge where the Lord our Sa
your is Grand Master
Resolved That we Join in sympathy with
his deep stricken aged parents, and his relA-
tives, and hereby tender to them our heart
felt coincidence in this their affection
Resolved, That the usual badge Of mourn
ing be worn for thirty days-that a page of
our record book be dedicated TO his memory,
and copy of these resolutions be furnished
to the parents of the deceased and be pub
lished in the marietta Journal

A PHILOSOPHER named Wiley
Jones explains well known passage
in the scriptures thus: Wharfage is
intended for repairing the loss occs-
stoned by death; hence there being
mo more death in a community of
immortals, there need not be any
more Neutrality-suspicious. there are no
more funerals there need not be any
more weddings. Thus the blessed
Saviour's explanation put the Sad
ducees to silence AS to the Saddu-
Gees, they were dull enough, no
doubt, but not quite 80 stupid as to
ask, Whose wife shall she be in the
disemJ0died state p That was not
their question at all, but whose in
