interests were Wasched with untir-
ing vigilance and guarded with un-
wearied patience. Labor and study
never seemed to weary or tire him
in the research OF law and facts in
volved in his cases. He was per-
severing, constant and unwearied in
all matters entrusted to him. He
was man of singular uprighness of
purpose and honesty and sincerity
of conviction. and ever true and

fare of the State, was sleepless and
untiriDg.
He was man of unfiinching
courage, of firmness of purpose and
decision of character. His cheek
never blanched, nor did his heart
ever quail before danger, toll or diff
ticulty, either in private, profess
sional or public life. He was a
faithful lawyer, a good citizen, an
upright man, and his faith as q
Christian was made public by his
long and consistent connection with
the Presbyterian Church.
His death has made a chasm in
the YazOO Bar as we'll as In this COM
munity.
Therefore, Resolved, That we la
ment the death Of our esteemed
Brother Of the Bar, and feel that
we, alike with the people of the

have sustained an irreparable loss,
and we extend to his grief.stricken
