The following report was adopted by
Macon Masonic Lodge;
To the W, Nh Watdcnr and Brethren Macon
Lodge No. 40:
The Angel of Death has been busy on
his appointed rounds. Again the alarm
has been sounded at the outer door and
the immortal spirit of brother John NJ.
Cochran has been summoned to appear
before the Great Grand Master of the
Universe. This summons was answered
Sabbath morning, Sept. 2G, 1897, when
bro. Cochran, surrounded by sorrowing
friends, bid the last farewell to his de-
voted wife, and on the wings of faith
scared into the presence of the God
whom he had humbly yet joyonsly served
many years.
Our brother was born in Perry coun
ty, Ala. May 23d. 1915, and moved to
Noxubee county in the late thirties or in
1910. He first settled near Mashulaville,
and remained there about three years,
when he came to Macon, where he re-
sided until the tine of his death. He
! gave his youth and strength to the de-
velopment of this county, a man bf woE.
derful physique, courage and energy
1t was his custom to penetrate the for.
ests, fell teees, build houses, and lay
tho foundation for the up-building of
the present wonderful prosperity of this
county.
Bro. Cochrah's moral character is
worthy OF ehulation-the essence of
honor and synonym Of honesty, His
| obligation as a husband, father, neigh
Dor and friend were c~Onscientiously met.
He craved not for the accumulation of
wealth, but in the even tenor of his way
met promptly and fully all financial OBJ
legations resting III him. he knew the
history of this county because he helped
to make it. He knew from experience
many of the hardships and deprivations
endured by the old settlers. He wit
messed the rising of the sun of prosper
ity on these fertile prairies, which now
shines with resplendent glory, while the
sun of his manhood has reached the re
NTH and descended the western heavens
and finally disappeared beyond the hor-
lion, leaving only the reflected beauty
of noble manhood and life spent in the
service of our God, whom he loved to
honor.
A faithful and jealous Mason, one of
the oldest of this Lodge, has been gath
cred unto his fathers. Peace be unto
him. Respectfully submitted,
BENZ. THOMAS,
W. N. HAYNES,
A. T. DENT,
Committee.

Yours was the heart ever merry,
Yours was the Wit ever bright,
Bringing Sunshine and hope SO CHEEKY,
And latgltet that makes life light
Sweet ia the streatis that are flowing,
Graceful as the song of a sylph,
Bright as the morn IN its glowing

Though critic by nature God made you,
Your heart Is as soft as a child's;

"Fair Play Answered.
To the Editor of the New Mexican:
Santa Fe, Jan. 21.--The communicated
article in yesterdays paper, signed "Fair
Play" contained nothing suggestive of
fair play except the name. The writer is
no doubt stranger as he manifests no
knowledge of the conditions surrounding
the hackman's occupation, either as it ex-
lists day. or as it was years ago. 1t is
almost impossible, now a'days, for us to
earn bare living for ourselves and
teams, whereas, twenty years ago, or ten
years ago it was not unusual to earn $40
to $15 day.
We have the longest haul in New Mex
loo to and from the depot, and have
gfeater Inconvenience and uncertainties
to contend with, due to the irregularity
of trains, than have the hackmen of
other cities of the territory. At Albu-
querque and Las Vegas the price has al
ways remained at so cents and no COM
plant or threat of retaliation is made in
those towns.
AS to the charge of progressing back
ward, it is not yet two years since the
hack.fares were unfortunately reduced to
% cents, and in that time there has been
scarcely a living in the business, yet
"Fair Play" begrudges the few extra
quarters decent price puts in our
pockets.
