Resolutions Of Respect.

To the Master and Warden of
Scotland Neck Lodge No. 470, A. F.

lutions of respect to the memory Of

resolutions for your adoption:
Whereas. it has pleased our Heav-
emily Father to remove from our
Lodge our brother, R. H. Smith,
and has transplanted him in the
Celestial Lodge above and devised
him Of the working tools Of life and
investing him with the instruments
tuned to his praise and glory.
We bow submissively to his divine
will and mourn our brothers pass
ing, but rejoice because we know in
whom he trusted.
We shall miss him in the flesh, but
his pure and spotiess life and ex-
ample is our heritage. 1t can be
said without contradiction that the
apron he wore as an entered appren-
lis was kept untarnished to the end
of his peaceful journey.
HIS column is broken and his bro
theirs mourn; but the shaft of ipno-
cence and his magnanirnus life will
ever shine and inspire US to nobler
deeds and higher caIlings. May his
and our God ever watch over and
praise his children and give to them
an entrance into the city not made
with hands eternal in the heaven.

spread on the records of his Lodge,
one be sent to his family; one to the
Orphans Friend and one to THE
COMMONWEALTH for publication.
Respectfully Submitted,

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving has lost much of its
early significance as day of devotion,
but what it has lost in that direction
has been more than made up, we like
to think, in the cultivation of the hui
manities and the exercise of that prac-
teal religion which brings help and
cheer to the the sick and destitute. 1t
is at such season that our kindliest
instincts can have full scope for ex-
preston without let or hindrance when
all the associations and influences of the
time invite our better selves to stand
out in visible expression of substantial
acts of thoughtful kindness. 1t is a
time to feel akin not only with all the
world, but with all the needy of the
world, and especially with those of our
own community. Nothing conduces 80
much to keen and healthy appetite for
good old fashioned thanksgiving din
ner and to the enjoyment of the family
reunion that goes with it as the quiet
consciousness that you have had hand
in helping somebody else to these OF
similar joys A warm hearted charity
is one of the luxuries of the we'll to-dc
which will never spoil them through ex
cessive indulgence.

The Fiscal Year,

give the auditors of the towns sufficient

diton for the printer, aud also enable

rate work. AS it is at present the fiscal
year in the various towns ends any
where from February to February 20,
Then there is rush for the job print

wants their reports printed at once to
the exclusion of others. II any error is
