The Pale Messenger has again
visited our lodge. On January 20,
1911, he slipped past the guardians
and claimed for his victim one Of
our oldest and truest members, Bro.
John A. w. Gardner.
Bro. Gardner was a native of
Tennessee and was 72 years old at
the time of his death. He was
made an Odd Fellow in 1906, being
a charter member of Shelbyville
Lodge No. 418.
No man was ever truer to the
meaning Of the mystic three links
than Brother Gardner. For forty
years he had lived among the same
people. He was loved and respect
ed by the old and the young for the
qualities of his mind and heart
which made him a kind neishbor,
a good man and an upright citizen
in all the walks of life. No man
lives perfect life, SO whatever
shortcomings Brother Gardner may
have had are forgotten in reInem-
bering his many virtues.
Be it resolved that Shelbyville
lodge extend its sincerest sympathy
to the bereaved family; that a copy
of this be placed on our lodge rec
ord and copy sent the Sharp
County Record for publication.

her, Mary kept putting them off by

as foolish to abolish the Tax Com

into a position to prove what 1t is

very strong article favorine the
passage of law to tax dogs. Such
law is needed badly enough, but
probably will not pass. The gen

Several hundred bills have been
introduced in the general assembly
and, of course, there are many
more yet to come. Had you
