MASONIC TRIBUTE.
Judge X. A. Hill.

Judge X. A. Hill.
To THE LODGE: Your com.
mittee ou.necrology present the
following:
JUDGE ROBERT 4. HILL, died
July 81. 1900, peacefully ut his
home IN Oxford, Miss, in his
Doth year.
He loved lite because it was
pleasant to him and profitable
To his fellow-man. but he ap-
preached death with a placidity
begotten Of a consciousness
that right purposes and good
deeds had filed to fuilness the
measure of his long. useful life.
lie was . lawyer without
guile. a judge without reproach,
and his career in his exalted
profession and station was char.
acterized by a keen perception
OF truth and a love of il. With.
out abatement Of the dignity Of
his exalted station, he mixed in
u m~eekness toward his God and
mercy toward man. lie did not
speak evil OF his fellow man,
nor ever permit to pass his lips
any unchaste speech, though he
was social and loved good hui.
NOR.
He greeted the lowly a. well
the great with a cordiality
that inspired To hope and help.
I'd to happiness all about him.
He visited the sick and helped
bury the dead. He encouraged
the young to noble endeavor by
word and example and with his
purse lifted the burden from
many a heart, and yet let not
his LEFT hand know what his
right hand did.
He was the patron Of schools
and As he loved learning, turned
loose his ample means for them
with a generous hand. and lent
his presence and .abors to them
every suitable occasion.
No bad habits or immoral
practice married the splendid
example of his long and glori-
Gus life. He did not think evil.
He served his God with steady
step and unfallering faith, illus
trated with thousands of kindly
to man and unvarying wor.
shipping ana reverence toward
God. We cannot enumerate
the graces nor name the virtues
Of this great and good man bet.
ter than To say We do not know
any he lacked.
That such n man should have
been a MASON because of its be
nevolent designs for humanity,
its incompatible code of morals
and its sboundless charity is as
natural as that sparks should
upward fly.
We rejoice that it was ours to
know such "A lite and that its
be%neiicent light fell athwart our
own lives and blessed our town.
county and state. We commend
him in his public life, and his
private life. in his professional
life and official life, his church
lite and his home life, as a tit ex.
ample to US and to all who as
pire to success, happiness and
usefulness, as a model citizen.
We congratulate his fami y in
the rich legacy he bequeathed
to them and posterity In his
name, resplendent of purpose,
garlanded with the flowers of
right living; ending and crown
ed with abundant fruits of good
deeds.

VIII Appeal to Supreme Court.

The case of Thomas Maxwell VS..
Charles DeValinger, which was
tried in the Superior Court at the
last term, will be taken to the Su
|preme Court. The case is one
where DeValinger purchased the
National Hotel, property. at Mid
dletown from Maxwell for $22. 900.
AT the time of the sale there was a
certain Judgment against the prop
erty for $500, and this amount was
Kept for purchase money by DeVal-
niger, pending on the passing OF a
certain lein by the Legislature then
in session at Dover, which would
annul the Judgment note. The bill
was passed by the Legislature but
Maxwell claimed that DeValinger
never paid the $400. He brought
suit to recover the money, and the
case was tried in the last term of
court BY a jury, which gave a YER
dict for the plaintiff Tor the amount
and interest up tc date which
to $500. e. E. Cochran
and p. L. Cooper represented the
plaintiff, and Ii. E. Emmons. the
defendant. The defendant is dis
satisfied with the verdict and will
to the Supreme Court to have
the Judgment reversed. The bill
of exceptions has been signed, and
the case will probably come up
again at the September term.

Another New Industry.

Inside OF 90 days another large
manufacturing plant is more than
likely to locate in our city. The
ne" business enterprise will give
employment to some five or six hun
dred hands. The locating of the
new steel plants in our city has
been the means of other capitalists
seeking Wilmington as favorite
place for business. The location of
the several proposed plants in our
city will be the means of helping
real estate to look up and make in
vestment in that line pay better
than any other class of invest
ments tor persons who have money
to invest. Now is the time to take
advantage ofthe present low prices
ruling in our city and be -"cadv
