AFTERNOON SESSION.

AZ L ERNOON SESSION
The Grange resumed work, and
after engaging in the illustration of
the unwritten work till : o'clock,
took a recess to visit the Blind
Asylum.
The members were much graft
fed at the exhibition of progress
by the pupils, and the watchfuI care
and skillful management of the
Principal, W. D. Williams. 1t was
unanimously agreed that too great
praise and encouragement can not
be bestowed upon this humane and
beneficent institution.
The Grange reassembled at ;
o'clock, p. m.
The following is the report of
Committee on Memorial of Worthy
Master T. ]. Smith, deceased:
Worthy Master and Members of
the Georgia State Orange: Your
Committee, appointed to draft reso-
lutlons expressive of the sense of
this State Grange on the death of
its Worthy Master, T. !. Smith, de
sire to say that the subject has been
approached with much diffidence
and distrust in properly conveying
the true sense of loss sustained by
the Grange cause not only in Geor-
gia but wherever our mystic tie
is felt.
His services to his State as Rep
resentative and Senator in numer-
Gus Legislatures, and in the Agri-
cultural conventions and societies
which have given such enviable
lustre to Georgia's industries, are
known to the people of his native
State. Your Committee, therefore,
do not feel called upon to repeat the
history. AS member of our Or
der and leader in its achievements.
we desire to perpetuate his memory
and ask leave to submit the follow
ing:
WHEREAS, Our Divine Master
has seen fit to remove Bro. T. T.
Smith from the fields of his tenn
poral labor to harvests eternal, this
State Grange desire to bow in hum
bic submission to His Divine will.
and
ResoIved, That in the death of
Bro. Smith, the cause of agriculture
in the State of Georgia has sustain
ed the loss of an energetic and long
trusted champion.
I'd, That as a Patron and Worthy
Master of this State Grange since
its organization in 1873, he has
been untiring in devotion to its in
terests, no labor has seemed too ex-
acting, no sacrifice of means or
time too great. He has not lived
IN vain, nor gone without valuable
record. None labored IN and ou1
Of season more earnestly. In LIES
industries he literally "sowed be-
side all waters and far distant will
be the day when his burrows will
not be seen in the field of his work
sd, That we commend his exam
pie of devotion to the interests OF
agrlculture,a as taught in the GRANGE
and his noble impulses and gener.
Gus character as man and citizen
to his fellow citizens, and especially
to Patrons.
4th, That we hereby extend GU,
deepfelt sympathies to his bereaved
companion, the beloved Ceres OF
this State Grange, and in accepting
her rendered resignation we fee
that our sessions shall lose the
cheering presence and encouraging
counsels of one ever prompt in hei
official duties.
That blank page in the minutes
of this State Grange be ascribed tc
the memory of Bro, Smith and a
copy of these resolutions be for.
warded to his bereaved family. and
the same to THE PATRON OF HUs-
BANDRY for publication.
Respectfully submitted.
