TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.


Upon the board OF public education for the
city Of Savannah and county Of Chatham again
devolves the sad duty of paying its last token
of respect to one OF its deceased members. On
the 18th day Of January last Mr.. WILLIAM Hun.
TER, after useful and cordial association with
the board, lasting for more than decade, was
removed from the scene Of his earthly labors.
1t is not the special province of this board to
proclaim the high standing, socially and NOR
ally, Of its deceased member, or to picture the
progress of his life in this community. That he
was a man who occupied many places of trust,
in all of which he faithfully discharged his
duty; that his position in the mercantile affairs
OF this city exalted, his financial ability and
conservative methods established, and his in
tegrity and high character conceded, are facts
known TO all.
It is in reference to his official position as a
member Of this board that we feel more partic-
ularly called upon to speak, and to lay our
tribute of respect and sorrow upon his tomb.
Mr.. HUNTER was elected a member of this
board on the 18th day of December, 1880 and
served all its purposes with zeal and fidelity up
to the date of his death. His reputation in the
community as a wise and conservative fnancier
commended him to the position of chairman of
the finance committee Of the board, and he was
The affairs of this very important committee,
especially in view OF the limited resources as
compared with the expanding desires of the
board and the growing public de-
mands upon its efforts. were
managed with rare economy and skill.
Mr.. HUNTER was chairman of the board of
trustees OF Chatham Academy, and in the dis
charge of his two offices rendered very Jealous
and valuable assistance in the acquisition from
tho Union Society of its fine property adj dining
that of the academy, and in tho remodelink and
combination OF the same into the noble struct-
ure now occupied by the high school and some
OF the grammar schools. The personal efforts
OF Mr.. HUNTER in accomplishing this great re-
suit were marked and efficient and in comp.
ment to him the fine hall constructed in the
new building was named Hunter hall. The beau
tifu grass plat on the west and the fine condi.
ton in which 1t was Kept were due largely to
his personal interest and supervision.
The members OF this board highly appre-
cieted his faithful and continuous service, and
with grateful recollection of the efficient dis
charge OF hia duties and kindly memories of
their personal association with him, cause to be
preserved upon their records this simple but
sincere tribute to his worth:
BE tt resolved, by the board: 1. That the fore
going tribute 20 its deceased member be spread
upon the minutes of the board
Z. That the same be published in the MORNING
NHws and Eventnp Pres.
3. That an official cepy be sent 10 the family
OF the deceased WITH the sincere sympathy Of
the board.

Principle in It's Platform.
ATLANTA. GA, March 14.-The newest
move on the part of the third party sat-
elites is the circulation Of talk to the ef-
feet that at the July convention Of that

ment paying for the slaves owned at the
breaking out of the war. The union SOL
diers' pension plank was the st. Louis con-
vention bid for recruits from the re-

democrats. 1t is said that an interchange
of ideas on this subject has been had with
the leaders Of the movement in the north

pie, and that they are willing to vote for
such recommendation.

plank is a republican scheme to break the
solid south. j. G. Manning, local Peo-
