RESOLUTIONS.
The committee after having retired re-
ported through its chairman the following
preamble and resolutions
The Chamber of Commerce OF Richmond.
having heard with profound sorrow of the
death of General Joseph K. Anderson, who
from it's organization was one OF Its most
active and useful mem bers. and at one time
its honored president, desires to place on
record this imperfect testimonial OF Its ap-
probation of his worth and character as a
man and "a q member OF this body.
For nearly half q century General Ander-
son was actively engaged III business in this
city and during ell that time he was at the
head Of one of the most important manufac-
turing establishments IN the south.
The Tredegar Company has contributed
as much TO make Richmond known as a
manufacturing and commercial centre as
any enterprise ever established here, and
its capacity and usefulness in this direction
was principally due TO the ability, energy
and character of its president.
But General AndersOn's usefulness as a
citizen and business man In this city WAS
not confined to any one interest or IN any
one direction.
He was charter member of this Cham
Der. which was organized for the advance
ment of all the interests of this city and
State and II may be safely SAID that no man
who ever lived IN Richmond more com
pletely filled the measure OF what is de-
manded Of the truly good and useful cltl-
zen than he did.
NEyER TOO BUSY.
One of the characteristics of General An
derson was that whilst always immersed IN
the anairs OF the great enterprise OF which
he was the acknowledged head. he w,ls
never too busy, but was ever ready TO con
tribute his time. his talents anu Ills sub
stance to any and every cause which tended
to the public veal
As a representative in the General Assem-
bly, OF the Stale. IN the Councils OF this city
and in this aud other commercial organlza-
tons his counsel and guidance We're sou lit
and needed, and ne was ever foremost IN
these bodies and elsewhere, botn III thought
and in action, In giving direction TO all
those measuses which tended to the up-
building of the interests OF his native State.
and especially those which looked to the
of Richmond. for the interests
and people OF which his heart at ali times
yearned with devotion which was as beau
tifu as it was grand and lasting; therefore
be II
Resolved, l. That in the death of General
Joseph X. Anderson the State OF lrg MA
has lost one OF It's mob est and best citizens,
one who WAS devoted 10 her history AMI Ira
ditlons, and who. with others OF hi NOBLE
name, have contributed much to the estaD-
of her present and ancient re-
nown.
2. That this city has lost one of the most
useful, enterprisiLg and exemplary citizens
II ever had: one devoted to its every inte-
rest and who was always foremost IN coun-
sol and material aid IN advancing those in
tsrests by every means i'll his power.
3. That this Chamber mosrns the death OF
its late president as a great bereavement TO
it individually and collectively that his
wise counsels and ever-ready and generous
aid will be sadly missed in our future eAorts
in behalf of our city and State. and that We
regard the death of such u citizen as pub
lie calamity.
4. That as a further mark of respect this
Chamber will attend has funeral IN body;
that these proceedings be spread on our
minutes. and that a copy be furnished 20
the family of the deceased. with the as
surance of our deepest sympathies in their
irreparable loss.
NO ORDINARY OCCASION.
In Offering these resolutions Judge Chris
tian said that unused as he was TO the an
guage OF eulogy aud as unprepared as he
was, he was unwilling TO let this occasion
pass without giving some expression to his
feelings. and he hoped his imperfect re-
marks would be added to by others who
would speak after him that this was no or
binary occasion; that General Anderson was
