Resolutions

Adopted by Lexington R. A. Chapter,
No. 9, on the death Of Bro. C. s.
Drake:
Death has again entered our ranks
and taken from our midst one of our
most useful citizens and Masons.
The last call that comes to man found
Bro. Drake in the prime and vigor Of
his manhood, with the promise of
many years of service to his COM
munity and his country, and bis
trestle board full of plans for the
future and a heart set on their ac-
complishment. But the Great Archi-
tect had willed it otherwise, and
called him hence to other plans and
larger works. Bro. Drake was a man
of high character and deserved and
received the respect and esteem Of
all who knew him; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this lodge has lost
one Of its most useful members, the
community a most exemplary man,
and the state an honest, upright,
fearless citizen.
Resolved, further, That a copy Of
these resolutions be published, that
they be spread on the minutes, and
that the Chapter be requested to
wear the usual badge Of mourning
for thirty days.

Summary of Happenings IN Neigbborboods o4dyacent to
Lexington Groniced BY The ogdberiser Corespondens
Ac0NA.

Editor of the Advertiser: Several
of tae absent Aconaites have asked
for news from Acona, so with your
permission ] will give the items l
know. First, Twill bound our little
Acona community, for we have a
good one. On the north is Chicope,
though We call S. d. Clover, just
beyond, as one of US. On the east
we cross over the creek and take in
j. D. and Henderson Waltons. We
don't know whether Bsileyville
comes in the bounds or not. On the
south is Funny Gusha, and west we
take in r. P. Johnson and Henry
Terry.
We have fine, new steam gin at
Acona, with J. L. McRae and J. C..
Booth as managers, and Robt. Par
rish as foreman. They are doing
fine work in the ginning line.
DR.. Graham Diggs is taking an
extra course in medicine, so DR. j.
T. Buck is kept busy, and Drs.
Marshall and Doty, of Black Hawk,
are often seen in our community.
Mr.. Wilson's gin at Col. Johnson's
and the Acona gin are buying seed,
20 there are a lot of seed tickets in
circulation.
Mr.. an / Mrs. H. E. Buck are TAX
ing in the fair, while good many
want to take in the show Thursday,
but the dust is so deep that we fear
the consequence unless we have a
shower.
We had quarterly meeting Satur-
day, with a fine sermon by Bro.
Dorsey, +. f., plenty OF dinner on
the ground and church conference
in the afternoon. Lexington was
represented by Misses Hobbs, Reid
Ssand Farr, and Msssrs. Herbert and
Harvey.
The Acona school is progressing
finely, and we hear the school build
ing will soon be painted, which will
add TO the looks of our nicely built
school house.
It's too dusty to visit and the
phones are all out Of repair and all
are giving the "phone man. "fits,"
but we think when it rains the
people and phones, too, will liven
up. So we will stop for while.
With best wishes,
CoANA.

Resolutions

By Lexington R. A. Chapter, No. 9,
on the death of Bro. Jno. Il. McBee:
Whereas, The Great Architect Of
the universe has seen fit to call our
lamented brother, John H McBee,
from labor to refreshment, and
through his untimely death has be-
reaved this lodge of one of its most
beloved members, his family of
most devoted husband and father,
the community Of a most exemplary
and useful citizen, and the state of a
most efficient officer; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this Chapter. in
common with all the people Of the
county, deeply deplore the death Of
our brother and friend, realizing the
void it has created in our hearts as
we'll as our ranks, and the great loss
sustained by his family and the COM
munity. !
Resolved, further, That copy of
these resolutions be published, that
the same be spread upon the minutes,
and that the members Of the Chapter
be requested to wear the usual badge
of mourning for thirty days.

Letter From Ninety-Six.

As it has been quite a while since
we had communication in the COL
umns Of the dear old paper, we feel
kind of modest in making our appear
ance again. We were afraid the old
paper would have to suspend after
we quit, but no, it keeps going, and
seems to be getting better all the
time, which leads Us to remark that
possibly a great many Of us are dis
posed to magnify our Importance in
the world.
1t is awful dry and dusty down this
way and a good rain would help things
a great deal.
There is great deal of sickness in
the community, a lot Of it of a serious
nature. Our two little girls, who
have been down with a severe attack
Of fever for some time are, we are
happy to state, owing to the mercy
of the good Lord and the skill of our
grand physician, DR.. Lucas, out of
danger.
Mr., S. N. Sample, who has been in
Memphis for some weeks with se-
we're attack Of typhoid, was able to
drive out to his Cypress plantation
one evening last week, and is looking
remarkably we'll and gaining strength

more in this community than a dozen
average men, and his friends are re-
joiced at his recovery.

ing of the sudden death of cur worthy
Circuit Clerk, Mr.. John McBee.

Mr.. McBee was by long odds the most

The candidates are much in evi-

vacant by Mr.. McBee's untimely death.
In looking over the minutes Of the
last meeting of the Board Of Super

house-top and shout Eureka! Eureka!
we have found man The cause
Of our great joy was the voluntary
action of our clever and accommodate

office. The voters of Holmes county
should paste this action in their hats
