Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty God to take
from our midst our worthy brother, George Vick-
ers, March 8, 1899.
Resolved That we, the members of Big Sandy
Lodge No. 200, f. & A. NJ, offer this token of re-
spect to his memory:
Brother VickerS was q deyout christian and q
true Mason. His genial disposition and straight
forward manner of dealing won for him the great
est respect from all who knew him. His long ILL
ness was borne with patience and christian for
titude. His departure was triumphant; his words
of counsel TO his friends who surrounded his dY-
ing bed viii be long remembered; his presence
amongus win be greatly missed but by the grace
Of God we hope to join him in the grand assem-
bly, above, where parting VIII come no more,
Resolved further, ThatWe extend to the friends
and relatives our heartfelt sympathies, and pray
the blessings of God to rest upon them in this
hour of bereavement.
Resolved further, That a copy of these resolu-
tiOus be spread on our minutes, and copy furn-

THE Southern Baptist Conven-
lion at Louisville decided to set
apart day, to be known as memo
rial day, to properly celebrate the
closing of the nineteenth century,
on which services shall be held in
every Baptist Church throughout
the South, to give thanks for the
blessings Of the present century,
and invoke continuance during
the twentieth century. A commit
tee was appointed to decide upon a
day and make arrangements for its
observance.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Whereas, tt has pleased God in his infinite wis
dom to take from us our esteemed friend and
eO-worker, Virgil Kee, who died at his home on
April 4, 1885, therefore, be it
Resolved That in his death the teachers and
pupils OF Benton Seminary have sustained great
loss that is deeply regretted by all. Virgil was a
most worthy young man, and was liked by all his
teachers and highly appreciated by his school
mates
Resolved That in his death his parents and
friends have lost a true and devoted friend, and
we offer coincidence and deeply sympathiZe with
them in their sad bereavement and loss. His
desks vacant in the school room and in his home
the family cirCleis broken, but we have treason to
believe that he isnow at rest in that brghthome
where sorrow, pain and death never come, and
parting is no more.
Adopted by the school,

THE fad just now with million
aires is to contribute to the Dewey
fund. In this respect we endorse
this from the Nashville Banner:
"The highest and worthiest honor
chat can be accorded a man who
has won the gratitude of a nation
by his achievements in war is that
respect, admiration and praise
which a whole people can render
without resort to expedients which
confns the expression to the few
who can contribute and exclude the
genera"

"SoME men have not got sense
enough to be anything but good =
is often quoted by those who wish
to plaeate their conscience for acts
Of vice and immortality. They for
get Wesley, Gladstone, and a long
line Of distinguished churchmen,
who tower head and shoulders
above the notorious infdel who
originated the above quotation
men who had only pity and COM
passion for the puny weaklIngs who
would blaspheme the name of God,
sneer at his followers and take ref
uge behind the Paines and Inger-
soils.

The smallpox scare Saturday is
a forcible reminder of how utterly
defenseless we are without vacci-

said to exist in three adjoining

ally spreading. Remember the old

is worth a pound Of cure"
