RESOLUTIONS
Of Respect Passed by the Masonic
Lodge on the Death of Judge
Vaughan.

| After having performed the last
sad rites of friendship, in laying to
rest the body of a deceased brother,
I it is proper that we should record
some of the virtues that adorned his
.. life.
Brother John S. Vaughan was a
man of amiable disposition, broad
charity and positive manhood of
character. As a Confederate soldier
he proved his courage: as a member
of the Board of Supervisors of this
county he evinced his interest in the
welfare of the community in which
he lived; and as Justice of the
Peace he showed that he was actuat-
ed by strict sense of fairness and
right As a Mason he was active,
jealous and devoted. AS a husband
and father he was affectionate and
self-denying.
Therefore, Be it rcsovled by Green
will Lodge, No. 200
I. That in the death of Brother J.
S. Vaughan the Masonic fraternity
has lost an honored and useful mem
Der. the State a good citizen and his
family its faithful and devoted head
?. That we tender to his bereaved
family our tenderest sympathies.
3. That copy of this tribute and
resolutions be communicated to the
family of the deceased, and that it be
published in the city papers and re-
ported to the lodge with the recon-
mendation that it be spread on its
minutes

MIRTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
Dlssotves Gloom and Brings Sunshine
Says Writer.

Fortunate is the family where the
mother is the first to see a joke and
to lead the mirth. In too many homes
her sole share in the merriment is
a wan smile, accompanied, perhaps,
by a dismal remark that she doesn't
see much to laugh at.
Nothing helps a busy housewife
through her press of cares like the
ability to laugh long and heartily.
A humorous rhyme. a conundrum, or
a smart repartee cheers up a dull
day wonderfully, especially when 1t
comes from mother" for it is she
from whom the rest of the family
are ant to take their cue.
The appetite for fun may be coaxed
TO grow with what 1t feeds on, until
the housewife may transform her
home into an abode Of mirth and sun.
