RESOLUTIONS or RESPECT.

To the WorshipfuI Master wardens and
brethren of Lexington Lodge No l49.
The undersigned committee appoi nted
to prepare resolutions upon the death of
brother William K. Trigg, submit the
following report:
Once more the alarm is given at the
door and the messenger of death conveys
the news that another member Of this
lodge has departed this life and that
brother William K. Trigg il no more.
Brother Brigg died at his residence In this
city February Goth, 1896.
Brother Trigg was BORN on a farm near
Higginsyille in Lafayette county Febru-
airy Ia, 1851, and was at the time of his
death As years and O days Die AT an early
period OF his life he was employed as a
salesman In q mercantile house in Lex
ington, where he learned the rudiments of
commercial business. He afterWard ,
became a commercial traveller in which he
was very successful. About ID years go,
having married, he located in Lexington
and engaged in the grocery business, in
which he continued until the time OF his
death.
OF the life, character and disposition OF
Brother Trigg, it is not necessary that
we should speak in this community where
he lived so long and was so we'll known.
Yet we desire to place on record our ap-
probation of his excellent qualities as a
man and as a citiSen. Possessing a warm
and generous nature he was the friend of
all who approached him, who were worthy
OF friendship. He was one of whom Scot
lands bard sung;
"He had a hand OF fellowship for every
man,
A heart for every fate"
There were but few who lived In this
community so long who had more friends,
In whose breast there was a higher appre-
citation oil his traits that distinguish the
good man than brother Trigg.
He became a Master Mason in 1886 and
united with the Methodist church In
1859, and was a member of both at the
time OF his death.
Resolved, That the members of this lodge
tender their sympathy aud coincidence to
the family aud friends of the deceased in
their bereavement
Resolved, That the report be spread upon
the minutes, a copy delivered to the widow
OF the deceased on1 q copy to the city
papers for publication.

LITTLE MISS NIIGaET

greatest company he has ever had, in
Guiding the little Missouri nightingale,
Leola Mitchell, and the eminent dialect
comedian, Chas. A. Loder, of 80, What O

opera house tonight. "Little Nugget"
has been rewritten since seen here last,
four new parts and several novelties being
added. The company numbers fourteen
people and all do specialties. 1t is easy to
imagine the fun to be produced by three
such artists as Herbert C%authorn, Leola
Mithell and Chas. A. Loder, all in the
same show. Either of the three would be
capable of interesting an audience all
alone. "Little Miss Nugget" has been

comedy production Mr.. Cawthorn has

FITz LEE AND THE CABINET.

The Nirginian agrees with its con,om-
porary. the Washington Post. that
agitating the question of Cabinet posi-
Mckinley adniinisstra seems ont &c
place, and that the Fredericksburg FREQ
Lance can hardly speak with authority
or approval Of that gallant soldier and
patriotic citizen in urging him for such
place under the circumstances On
this subject the Post says:
The Lance insists that General
Lee is sound money Democrat
what of that? Did General Lee
formally renounce his party? Did he
go over into the camp of the Repub-
leans and battle against his former
friends? Did he even consider such
policy for so much as 4 single mo-
ment? We have not head of 1t.
But suppose he had done all these
things-what then?
I'VE find no sort of substance in
the Lance's proposition. We do not
believe, in the first place, that Gene
raj Fitzhugh Lee has made the
smallest appeal TO Mr.. Mckinley.
We do not believe that he has de-
serted and denounced his party or
that, even If he had, he would eX-
pect to be rewarded for ii. We feel
quite sure that General Lee does not
relish this freedom with his honored
name in such controversy"
The Post is right, and 1t may be set
down as certain that a position in the
Cabinet Of President elect Mckinley
has never been thought Of by General
Lee. Why should he? He belongs to a
political faith different from that held
by Mr.. Mckinley. and Lee is not the
man to desert cause for pelf, or for
anything else.

and expresses itself thiswise:

when the spurred brigadiers came
jingling back to Congress, not when
the free State government of the re-

lence, was the solidity of the South
such n menace to American institu-
tons and to civilization everywhere
as in the contest just closed. For
the first time there was a possibility
of the old Confederacy's real and
fearful revenge. beside which the
once feared payment of war claims.

OF the needy unreconstructed. and
even the restoration of the Cal
