noted and remarked upon with re-
gret 1t Is the frst Democratic
County Convention that has been
held IL Oconee for many years at
which the venerable gentleman was
not present to lend his counsel and
advice. Noting at once his absence,
so soon as the calling of the roll was
completed Hon. F. NJ. Cary, of Sen
eca, arose and feelingly referred to
Col. Thompson and his absence,
stating the substance of what he
deemed fitting resolution, and he

adopted. The motion met with
hearty seconds and was unanimously
carried DR.. Doyle, president of the
tee to prepare this resolution r. r..
Jaynes, Esq, j. w. Holleman and ].
w. Shelor, Esq.
The resolutions as adopted fol-
low:
Col. Robert A. Thompson.
Resolved First: That we note with
regret the absence of Col. Robert A.
Thompson, which is enforced by the
infirmities Of advanced age.
Second: That in recognition of his
long life and eminent service to his
State and country in both war and
peace, we deem it proper to pause in
our deliberations and place on per
manent record our appreciation OF
his long life Of faithful service.
Third: We desire to extend to him
and his our sincere sympathy in his
declining years, with the assurance
that, though absent in person, we
feel that he Is present in spirit.
Fourth: In him we recognize the
most distinguished citizen Of our
county. Being the sole survivor OF
| the Secession Convention Of 1860, he
stands to-day as the connecting link
between the generation of our faith
