Resolutions of Respect.

1t is with sad hearts that we give
notice of the death of our dear brother
the Rev. j. C. Blanton which occurred
Oct. 10th. 1908.
Therefore be it resolved that in the
death of Bro. Blanton Nettleton Masonic
lodge has lost one of it's most useful
members, one of its wisest and safe st
counselors.
The community a citizen whose ex-
ample was highly worthy of imitation;
the church one of it's most beloved and
faithful ministers; the family devoted
husband and a kind and indulgent fa-
ther.
Our hearts go out in tenderest sympa-
thy to the grief stricken family in their
irreparable loss and can only point them
to God who giveth and who can take
away, He who never makes a mistake
and who can heal the broken heart.
We recommend that these resolutions
be spread on the minutes of lodge and
copy be sent to the family of the de-
ceased and copy to the Tupelo
