Nathan Douglas sevin.

The funeral of Nathan Douglas Sevin, a 33d degree Mason, was held Wednes- day afternoon at 2.30 o'clock at the Masonic temple. There was a large at- tendance of relatives and friends. Among those present were members of the phar- maceu-ical profession, the Masonic lodges, Sedgwicll post No. 1, c. A. R., and other organizations. There were many beautiful floral forms attesting to the high esteem in which Mir. Sevin was he'd by his friends.
 The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Charles H. Ric5etts. pastor of the GreenevIle Congregational church. In his address Rev. MT Ricketts said in part:
 ] am not here today to pronounce e-loEy over the remains of our departed friend. but merely 10 ray tribute to one l knew and respected for many years There is no eulogy that is to be compared 10 a life well lived no tribute that is equal to the silerrt voice of upright character. It would be idle for me to a.tewp to inform you of the place MT. SevlD occupies in the general esteem of the community. for many who are here have known him far ionger than 1. One has only 10 go over the list of his many activities to realize the confidence that his fellows had in him.
 lir- Sevin was a type of the courteous, diguideJ old New England gentleman that unfortunately is not so much in evidence as formerly. His passing is a distinct loss to our social and business fife. In these days of frantic rush men do not se5ln 10 have the time to cultivate the good o'd-faShioned graces of sociality and amiability, that go a long way in creating the reputation for sterling worth. An Instance of MT. Sevin's stability of purpose and steady perseverance is seen in the fact that he occupied one store for SO years. This means that the people rarro--zed niru for this number of years and he only retired from business al the suggestion of his advancing years A fact like thts needs no interpretatl tlon in words. T. simply means that behind the counter stood personal integrity, honor and thorough acquaintance with his line Of trade. Standing for 50 years in tho Imelight Of business uninpeached ca rries with it a tribute that cannot be gainsaid Probably no man iIl our midst hac greater familiarity with the foundation facts and principles of the Masonic or der than he and no man among us knew more of its practical workings in it's va rious grades than he. He stands befor, us as a good illustration of what Mason " win dc for a man who thoroughly be .laves i- and makes the most of it. H, carried out the old Platonic doctrine Not to do but to do we'll"
 Confidence was also expressed by hi business associates in his integrity ant ability in identifying him with the bank Ing institutions of our city, and also il representing the city in the general as semhly. This is the man whose loss " deplore. But he has come to his gray like a shock of corn in his season. that is. his material body has-honoret respected. lamented
