and gentlemen On the way to the state
house this morning and to the performance
of his duties, one of our number Judge
Andrew A. Wyman of Athens, was sud-
denly stricken with death! In his loss we
all feel sad bereavement, and especially
so do those with whom he was brought into
more intimate company. He was man l
have known for many years-a warm per-
sonal friend, wise legislator, and good
man has gone! 1t seems to me fitting that

honored and respected member and the
state an exemplary, honest, upright and
useful citizen, and we tender to his family
and friends our sincere sympathy and con-
dolence; that a committee consisting of four
members of this house be appointed by the
speaker to accompany the remains of the
