| tons in regard to the death of Mr..
Henry X. Nash late a member of this

ed on behalf of the committee by Maj.
Graham, who paid a merited tribute to
he memory and services of Mr.. Nash,
recalling many occasions on which his
sterling worth and high character had
been displayed. MIR. G. e. Parish, in
fitting terms, moved the adoption of the
resolutions. They are as follows:
In the death Of Hon. Henry X. Nash
we receive another admontion that we
are but sojourners here and this world
is not our abiding place, and we must
all prepare for the great change which
may come in the morning, in the noon
day, or in the evening of the time al
lotted to man, and that though the days
Of our age are three score years and
ten, and even if we come to four score
years, then is our strength but labor and
trouble and soon passes away and we are
gone. Therefore,
Resolved, /. That while we bow to the
decree of Him, who doth all things well,
we sincerely deplore the loss this COM
munity and the State have sustained in
| the death of one who so well Illustrated
in his practice, conduct and example the
sterling qualities, and high-toned cour-
tesy which best adorn the profession of
the law; and while, by reason of advanc-
| ing years, he had withdrawn from active
participation in our conflicts, his inter
est had not ceased, and at all times he
was ready with wise counsel to assist
those members who sought his advice,
and loved to relate events in which he
had participated with those who had
gone before.
. Our memory fondly recalls the COM
handing form, the dictatiOn, and the
fervid eloquence which expressed his
arguments with great force, and made
him for many years a leading advocate
Of this bar, and as solicitor a fearless
prosecutor through whose efforts the
State had it's laws well enforced.
3. While his public life was confined
to service in the Legislature, the can
vass which he conducted as a candidate
for member of Congress gave him high
reputation throughout the State, and as
a candidate for convention and in Presi-
Dental campaign his speeches took high
ranks among the best efforts of his day.
4. The evening of his days was cheer
ed by the comfort OF a reasonable and
religion and holy hope, and one sound is
mitigated by the thought that rest has
come to the weary and a pilgrimage of
more than eighty years has ended in the
firm trust that the promises vouchsafed
to him would be fulfilled.
5. That we request his honor the Judge
presiding to cause this tribute to his
memory to be entered on the minutes OF
this term and to adjourn court that we
may attend the funeral services.
6. That the chairman and secretary
of this meeting be also requested to COM
municate the resolutions to the immedi-
ate family of the deceased, with ex-
preston of our sympathy in their sad
bereavement; and also cause the same
to be published in the Orange County
Observer, News and Observer, and the
Charlotte Observer.
The resolutions were adopted and the
meeting then adjourned.
S. B. ADAMS, Chairman.
p. @. GRAHAM, Secretary.
