The service was held chiefly in honor
Of the late Judge Albert G. Andrews OF
Augusta, who at the time of his death
he'd the position of grand recorder CT
the Grand Lodge.
The service opened with vocal solo
by Miss Villa Phclan Of this city,
which was followed by Scripture read
ing and prayer by Rev D. 3. Phelan.
The following is a short eulogy de-
livcred by Rev. c. S. Cummings Of Au-
burn:
The late Albert G. Andrews was a
man Of good learning as YOU might
find ana although he might have been
surpassed by some, he had qualities
which We're unsurpassed by none. He
had a peculiar quality for entering the
hearts Of men and staying there. W.
loved him and were influenced by him
we are never Influenced by anyone We
do not love. He was Il frGtcrnal man,
with his hand open to a man with
rough manners and broken English as
well as any. When he died we felt tina,
something had gone from US although
he LETT Il place where he lived in our
hearts. Ills spirit has come back to us
so though that they departed ONES
came back to this life in another form.
He was common man, perfectly al
home among us, who are common men.
Tender hearted when he administered
justice and tempered with love. he wa
a person Vino held Il warm place in the
hearts Of all with whom he came IL

part Of arbitrator. If his past mantle
can rest upon us, we can realize that
virtue has come upon US. That he was

FoRTY-oNE YEARS IN BUSINESS.
Well known Gardiner Bakery Firm
VIII Retire March. !.

The well-known Gardiner bakery
firm Of Smith Brothers will retire
March /. after having been in business
for IL years in the same location on
Water street The purchaser of the
business is G.. X. Black, lately with the
Trask Baking Co. of Augusta.
In July. 1865, J. NJ. and G. ". Smith
bought out the bakery business OF
Daniel Blake, which was then being
carried on in small wooden building
on the site Of the present bakery. Their

RESOLUTIONS.

At Il meeting of the executive COM
mittee at the Grand Lodge office on
the first day of the present year, Il
committee Of three was appointed to
report to this Grand Lodge, a resolu-
ton. which should in some measure,
at least. express our high apprecia-
ton of the services Of, ana tho great
loss our order has sustained by the
death Of Brother Albert G. Andrews,
who, at the time of his death. on the
24th day of last December, was the
grand recorder Of this lodge.
AS 4 member of that committee ]
now for it and in its behalf ask per-
mission to submit its report:
In the presence OF death how great
the change in our conception ard cs-
innate of human life and of all things
related thereto.
What before might have seemed Of
highest Importance, shrinks into utter
insignilicance. What seemed remote,
oven unreal, assumes real and almost
startling propositions.
The genial Smilc-tkc hearty hand
clasp,-the warm greeting, in the rush
Of our busy lives, we too often neglect,
and t. which we ofttimcs perhaps, fail
properly to respond.
The loyal friendship which we have
enjoyed 50 long, that we have thought
it would always continue, becomes Of
priceless value. when we look upon
the face that can never, again, give
back its old familiar greeting.
So, we, the members of this Grand
Lodge Of the Ancient Order OF United
Worln1en of Maine, who have 50 long
known and loved our late Brother Al
bert o. Andrews. now fondlv cherish
the memory and cOmrani0nship OF the
past. made 50 valuable to us by his
genial personality and his wise, kind
ly and inspiring counsel. Therefore be-
il
Resolved That the death Of Brother
Albert e. Andrews, late Grand Re
cordcr Of this Grand Lodge, brings to
us, members Of this Grand Lodge, a
higher regard OF his great ability as
a true fraternalist, his loyalty to the
interest of the order, the Importance
of his labors as grand recorder OF
this Grand Lodge since the date of its
organization, and what, largely
through his efforts and influence. has
been accomplished by it.
Resolved. That we owe to his memory
debt of gratitude, not now to b.,
measured by mere words, or in set
phrases, for the example of his life
not only as citizen, but for the faith

Mr. Stone also dwelt for considerable
time upon the past life of the late A.
G. Andrews, giving to the delegates

well.
Another vocal solo was rendered by

preciatcd.
