Resolutions of Respect.

At a meeting Of the b~oOk-keeperS OF
Grenada Bank, held at Owens Wells,
July 18th and 18th, the sad news came
to us of the death of our beloved vice
president, Max G~insburger. Where
upon the following resolutions were
read and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, God, the omnipotent, and
all-wise ruler of earth and heaven, who
holdath the destiny of men and nations
in his hand, who giveth life and ex-
tendeth mercy to all, hath taken TO
himself the spirit of our vice-president,
Nh. Max Ginsburger, therefore be it
Resolved, First, That his wise cour-
sci and timely advice will be missed by
every employe of the institution, but
will be kept in happy and grateful
remembrance, on account OF his zeal
and unfailing loyalty to it.
Second, That no higher ambition can
be obtained in this life than to attain
those qualities of mind and he art that
made him the man, the husband, the
citizen, and last, but not least, the
f. lend of all who knew him.
Third, That while our hearts are sad
dened at his untimely demise, we shall
confidently hope that before him is op-
ening an eternity of joy and of peace
unknown to earth and to the toilers of
this life, whose reward is now with
him.
Fourth, To his family We extend our
sympathetic regards, hoping that
through this dispensation of God they
will be able to look beyond, with the
assurance that he has his reward, with
the Just and that by emulation Of his
virtues they maybe brought to a ike
honorable end, and reap the blessings
that end not with time.
Fifth. That these resolutions be
spread upon u minutes, published IN
our home paper and a copy be given
, Mrs. Ginsburger and loved ones.

Owens Wells, July IS, 1910
In the death of Max Ginsburger each
member of your committee feels that
; he has sustained a great personal loss,
and, therefore, it is with heavy hearts
' that we approach the duty delegated TO
y US. From the very beginning Of his
connection with the Grenada Bank he
brought to bear his rare good judg-
ment and skill in looking after its in
l~terests. We shall miss him from our
councils. His desire at all times was
u to advocate that which was right.
1 Genial and sunny in disposition he made
. friends readily and held them firmly to
him. AS a friend he wps true and 10y
al. He possessed that broad charity
! which knew no race or class when the
: crv of distress went up. Many of the
moor will. miss his benefactlons. He
d had been a good citizen of our town
. forty-four years and took great pride
and interest in it's development. His
dealings with his customers was marked
with fairness and liberality. Wher
once he gained a customer he seldom
l. failed to hold him. AS a useful citizel
y he has left behind him many virtues
e worthy of emulation. We mourn hi
10 untimely death and tender to his fam
y ily your sincere sympathy in their be
y reavement. AS a token of u esteem
we have these lines enrolled on tn
minutes of the Grenada bank, pub
y Ished, and a copy sent to his family.

The Last of the Ruffs.

In 1862 the rage for ruffs. such as are
seen on many monumental effigies, be-
gan to decline. A writer in the Lon
don Chronicle Of that year says of gen.
tlemen's dress, Their cuffs entirely
cover their wrists, and only the edges
Of their rufiles are to be SEEN" 1t is
said that a distaste for ruffs was first
created so far back as 1913, when o
woman named Turner wore them on
her trial for the murder by poison of
Sir Thomas Overbury. The. French
revolution of 1889 much influenced
British fashion, and the picturesque
cooked hat and ruffles then gave way
generally to round hats and small
cuffs. The period of their final disuse
cannot be easily determined, as men
Of old fashioned or eccentric habits
have worn ruffied shirt fronts within
quite recent memory similar to those
which. according to Planche's His
tory of British Costume" originated
in the seventeenth century.

According to the investigations of q
Frenchman, the credit of inventing the
conductors baton belongs to Lully, the
composer. who eventually had cause to
regret his invention. Before he adopt
ed the baton conductors were in the
habit of pounding on the floor with
their feet or clapping their hands to
mark the time. Lully found it weari-
some to keep his foot constantly in mo-
ton and so used a stick to strike the
floor and beat time. He used a pole
six feet long. One day he brought
down the pole with such force that it
struck his foot and made a deep
wound. He paid no attention to the
matter. The wound grew worse and
ultimately caused his death. After
his time conductors tried more and
more to improve the baton, and it Yas
brought to its present form.
