Montgomery Lodge No. 16S E. &
A. NJ, was Junior Grand War
den of the State of Louisiana for
one year, and for four years Dep
uty Grand Master of the 11th
Masonic district of Louisiana, and
was Worshipiful Master of his
home lodge for several years. He
enjoyed wide and favorable &C
quaintance IN the mercantile
world, having conducted business
in Montgomery for many years
and was well known in religious
circles, himslf and wife being
members of the Methodist Episco-
pal church. in which they were ac-
tive and consecrated workers"
The above was copied from the
Colfax Chronicle. The writer
has been a life long friend aud
comrade of the deceased. 1t has
not bsen our fortune to know a
man of purer character. As a fa-
|ther, ever indulgent; as friend,
he had no equal; he put his life in
his every undertaking. We feel
sure that if possible to man, no
impure thoughts ever passed
through. his brain. He was char
table beyond his means. He was
faithful to every trust, and they
were many. Coming home after
the war mafned, he went to work
where many would have laid,
down and given up. He had the
love. respect and admiration of
every one who came in contact
with him. We regretted that we
were not able to be present at his
end. We extend to his noble wife
and family our sincere condo
leoco j. their great loss.

CHRISTMAS Dinner
Plan for Feeding .City's Poor
Making Great Strides
Already.
PROMISES Of HELP GENERAL

The movement recently innuguratcd
among, the charity organizations Of the
city for the purpose OF giving 81 basket
Of Christmas good things to each poor
and deserving family In Richmond is
rapidly taking shape. In the last few
days almost all OF the organizations
have been communicated with, and the
plan commcnds Itself to each Of them
The plan is that every one, after
notifying the committee of the bene-
ilciaries selected. shall give to these
ana the organized charity institutions
VIII see to II that the others are not
neglected. It is the desire OF the
charity workers that the names of
those receiving the gifts be WITHHELD
In a few days. after all the argani-
cations are heard from, the exact num-
Der OF baskets needed will be known.
All information concerning needy peo-
pie should be sent to the secretary.
the Rev. a. d. Sharpe. and donations
of money to DR.. James Buchanan. the
treasurer.
For many reasons the needs for this
Christmas will be larger than ever
before. and 1t is thought that the num-
her will reach at least 1,500.
II is not the desire of the committee
ments of church or society. Each
person or institution will deliver bas-
kets as usual and at such places AZ
may be desired. The object sought
is simply cooperation. that the pur-
pose of the committee may be systn-
nlatically carried out and all the needy
poor given taste OF Christmas cheer.
