TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Savannah Lodge. No. 1S3, b. p. o. Elks.
The following resolution is published by
order of this lodge:
Whereas, The Grand Exalted Ruler of
the Universe, having seen fit to remove
our brother, Gustave Fox, from this
earth; be 1t.
Resolved by this lodge in regular ses>
sion assembled. That while we bow with
submission to every act of Almighty God.
we cannot but feel the most poignant
grief and sorrow a his departure to other
fields and pastures. That as a man.
Brother Fox stood on an equal footing
with all those who are loved and esteemed
for their noble qualities of character. His
charitable deeds were prompted by mo-
tives as pure as driven snow, and it can
be truthfully said that his left hand knew
not what his right hand did" As friend
he was closer than a brother; as an Elk
he was the embodiment of all those at
tributes that make a true Elk. Benevo-
lent, just, charitable, faithful to all trusts
imposed upon him, genial and courteous to
all, even his presence. served to brighten
and make happier the circle that he en-
tered. AS a citizen. his loss will be felt
by all classes; loyal to his adopted coun-
try, liberal in his aid to every effort to
advance the progress and prosperity of the
city in which he lived, he could i'll be
spared, as there are so few of his kind.
Be it further resolved, That we shall
endeavor to emulate his virtues and that
he shall live in our memories That his
name shall be inscribed upon our tablet
of departed brothers and a page In our
minute book be devoted to this slight
token of our profound respect.
