politician; and the Nashville
American Immediately be-
came cred headed" 1t took
exceptions to the word "poli-
tician," as applied to its pet
candidate, Mr.. McMillin, and
heaped all kinds of honors
upon us. Well, let's re-
produce a little history, and
see if the BULLETIN did not
tell the truth when it said
that Mr.. McMillin was a pol
itlcian. AS we understand
the meaning of the word ''pol-
itician," it is professional
office-seeker. The Congress
sional Directory states that
Benton McMillin was born in
1916, elected to the Tennes-
see legislature when % years
of age, and ever since that
time, up to this good day, has
been fed from the public Glib.
If Mr.. McMillin is not a poll
itician, we would be glad to
have the American place him.

of Pythias, of Bolivar, our beloved

his obligations. Notwithstanding
the fact that he resided several miles
distant, he was always present,
health permitting, at our meetings,

He loved the order, and faithfully
disseminated the noble principles it
teaches. 1t was always a pleasure
to him to extend helping hand to
a worthy Knight especially, and to
his fellow man generally.
Resolved, That his death is a
source of sincere sorrow to every
member of this Lodge, in whose coun-
ellis he will be greatly missed.

Resolutions of Respect.

Death has again entered the ranks
of Beulah Lodge, No. 432, knights
and Ladies of Honor, of Salisbury,
and plucked one of our brightest
Jewels, Sister S. D. Wright, who
passed away so peacefully on the
morn of November 10th.
She was a sister of beautiful love-
illness of character and superb wo-
manly dignity. Her modestY and
humility, the ease and quietude of
her faith gave her the bearing of a
Saint in the Lodge, in the Church
and in the home. Her presence in
the family was a benediction to those
about her, and her words and works
were a blessing to the community.
She was a true and devoted wife,
kind and self-sacrifcing mother,
charitable to the poor, thoughtful
of her neighbors and responsive to
every call of duty,
The Lodge has lost one of it's
truest, staunchest members and sup
porters, her husband a true and low
ing wife, her daughter one of the
dearest of mothers, her neighbors a
true friend.
We rejoice that we sorrow not as
those that have no hope, for truly
she was a ripe sheaf, fully ready for
the Masters garner. "Blessed are
the dead who die in the Lord, for
they do rest from their labors, and
their works do follow them"
AS Brothers and Sisters we ex-
press our coincidence to the bereav-
ed family in the following resolu-
tions:
Resolved, That the Lodge has
sustained a great loss in the death
of Sister Wri ght. Her helpful pi-
ETY. and sanity influence were a
blessing to US, in doing our work.
Resolved, That we express to her
daughter, Mrs. Julia Stanton, her
husband and other relatives, our
profoundest sympathy in this hour
of their great sorrow.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the min
utes of the Lodge and a copy be
sent to the family of deceased.
