Cotton is too cheap because there Is

Wheat is cheap enough and ionr in

To THE DICTATOR, OFFICERS AND MEM-
BERs OF THE MAULDIN LODGE 2937,
X. OF II. =
1t is the custom in all Societies, Fra
ternal Orders and Associations of men,
when II of their members has crossed
the "river of death" to bring back t.
memory in suitable form his personal
and fr%aternal character, and to bestow
q last mark of respect upon the de-
ceased. In conformity with this time
hOnored and beautiful custom, your
committee to whom was assigned the
duty of presenting to this Lodge q me-
mortal of our late brother Jacob Hol-
berg, submit the following:
Brother Holberg vas a charter men,
Der of Nauldin Lodge, and during his
life VAS ever foremost in every effort
that was made for the advancement of
its interest. AS a Dictator he presided
over the deliberations Of the Lodge with
wisdom, prudence and patience. As q
the Lodge has sustained an irreparable
loss but We hu,nbly bow to the will of
Him who doeth all things well, and say,
mot u will but thine o! Lord be
done"
AS a citizen Brother Holberg was en-.
ergetic, enterprising and public spiri
ted, and was ever on the alert TOR WAYS
and means to promote the good Of our
town. He held many positions of hon
or and trust in the municipality, from
which he retired with the full satisfac.
ton Of knowing that he had performed
his duties well and faithfully, and with
the pludits of his fellow citizens: "Well
done thou coed and faithful servant"
In his social relations with his fellow
men Brother Holberg was gentle, kind
and amiable, he had = pleasant and
friendly word for all, the rich, the poor,
the high the low, all shared alike his
love and consideration; while he con.
stantly strived to tighten the burdens
of others, he maintained q silence as to
his own trials, troubles and sorrows
Gle laughed when his soul was the
saddest,
He shrouded his griefs in q smile;
His voice warbled it, gladest,
While his soul mourned in anguish
the while"
AZ pHiisutiiopibt DTo, llOlDeTg was
second Ia no one in our community: he
was generous to a fault, and his deeds
of charity were limited only by his
ability to give. The struggling TRAMP
the INDECENT widow and orphan were
the recipients Of his bounty. lie needs
no marble shaft to remind us of his
generosity, and deeds Of love, for in
every quarter of our town are 10 be
found monuments Of his own erecting
which tell us of his munificiencs,
We will not cutter into thu sacred
circle ofs loving family or disturb with
our feeble accents the silent sorrow of
. stricken Preside. There was the cuI-
mination Of all OF his virtues for II Was
in the relation Of husband and father
that
His excellence did excel"
Farewell dear brother, we will miss
you, but we feel assured that You have
passed.

In the death Of Bro, Jacob liol6ers
! our lodge aud the community in gen
eral are called to mourn the loss of n
most valuable citizen, Il who for
many wears has been In the forefront
OF public progress, n who has al
ways been aiiYe TO the interest of our
town and county. Bro. Ilolbcrg was
born in the year 1888 at Gissen. Ger
many, emigratcd to this country in
1857, and since that time las been \
citizen of this community. He served
throughout the dark period of the
civil war in the First Miss, Cavalry
Regiment Inns demonstrating his 10y
atty to his adopted State by risSing
his safety in her defense though she
had been his mother but four short
years.
As a citizen Bro Holberg was prce.
miuent among that class Of men who
are ready to eacritIce private comfort
to the public good, lie was an exam
pie to oil as a big-hearicd, public-spir-
tied citizen and his influence will be
missed, his voice hushed and silent to
us forever Will 10 longer be heard in
public council, and W. are left TO fiji
the void csrsed by his absence rs best
We may,
As a friend Bro. Holberg was ever
loyal TO the sacred tie that binds mar
to man aud as a neighbor iu the broad
sense of the word he bound many to
his heart. We miss his company and
fellowship, but while We deplore his
absence we bow in humble submission
to Him who doeth all thugs well.
We extend to his beroaved family
our deepest sympathy and in token
thereof, AS we'll as in memory of our
departed Brother, we spread a copy
of these resolutions on Il minutes
and send copies also to the family of
the deceased and to our city papers.
So note i, be.

Whom Con Walthell accounted

When Gen. Walthall accepted the
great trust that came TO him unsolici,.
ed, from u devoted and conihing con.
siifucncy. in January 1892. he did so
with A firm determination TO assume
the burdens of Senatorial office in
1895 if God gave him the strength and
health essential to service. and and so
we have not a doubt but that he will
be in his seat a, the first meeting of
the Fifty Fourth Congress, in Deccm.
Der 1895, if the prayers OF his people
for his restoration to health shall hc
granted. II is not likely that the next
Congress will DO called together in
special session. hence there will be no
demand upon him for many months.
and therefore no reason why. even if
not restored to old time strength, he
should resign his new commission in
vacation OH the very eve OF the con-
vcning Of the Legislature Of 1896
Examiner.

preston Of sorrow which moves
this Lodge upon contemplating
the death of Bro. Jacob Holberg,
beg lie; We to present the following:
WHEREAS, The Grim Reaper,
before whose scythe the noisome
weed and the delicate flower fall
together, has cut down our below
ed Brother Jacob Holborg; there
fore be it,
Resolved, That the order has
lost one of its truest and best mem
bers, o bright pasticular star from
its armament, a brilliant gem from
its diadem. He it was who was
most active in the support Of our
lodge, aver giving freely his time,
his means and his ability to the
support Of his brethren. He it
was who daily exemplifed the
teachings of our order in the care
of the sick and the relief ofthe dis
tressed, thereby building IN our
midst a monument which shall not
be ctiaced so long as the human
breast retaina a memory.
Be it further resolved, That n
copy o fthese resolutions be sent
to his bereaved family with the
assurance that while his genial
presence is lost to us forever, yet
a memory of his virtues and abil-
ity will serve to stimulate us to an
emulation of his character.
Be it further resolved, That the
foregoing memorial be placed on
the minutes of this lodge and 9
copy be furnished each of the town
papers for publication.
