IN MEMORIAL.
FRED FOX.

Resolutions of respect upon the death of Fred Fox, presented to the board of trustees of the Young Mems Christian association, Pine Bluff, Ark :
 Since the organization of the Young Mems Christian association of Pine Bluff, Ark, the subject of this sketch has been an active and useful mem- Der, and it was only within the past year that he retired from active serv- ice, and was, by unanimous vote of this board, elected an honorary mem Der, being at the time of his death the only honorary member of the board
 He was deeply interested in the work of the Y. M. c. A., actively sup porting it, not only as member of the board, attending faithfully and punctually it's meetings, but was 8 large. contributor to it and assisted it in every material and moral way within his power. To speak of the Young Mems Christian association and it's work in Pine Bluff was at once to call to mind this man who had given so many years of his vigorous man hood to it's support. and who, in his years of older life and declining health, had stood up as one to whom the friends of the institution could all ways point with pride and satisfac- ton. His council at the meetings of the board, his wisdom and fidelity and his purity of purpose have been, and will continue to be, an inspira- tion to the members of the board and the friends of the institution, and is thus a heritage of which the institu- tion is justily proud.
 RESOLVED, That in the death of Fred Fox the institution has lost a strong supporter, morally, mentally and financially; the church of which he was a member, a great light, and

other requirements are retained. The
