RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

Forty-pine- years. six months and
seven days ago God sent a tiny bud
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jimmie
Hoover to gladden. their hearts. This
bud grew and bloomed into girl
rood and then into motherhood to
shed its sweetness in and around
her home circle, but as she was near
ing her fiftieth year, the death angel
came and gathered this flower to be
transplanted in the beautiful garden
at the feet of the God who gave it.
On the 7th. day of Nov, 1921, the
spirit of Sow. Arabelle Brooks took
its fight to the city paved with
gold, therefore be it
Resolved, That Silver Leaf Grove
No. 1879 w. C. has lost a beautiful
character and faithful member.
Resolved, That we extend our
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
family and commend them to God
who is ever ready to comfort those
who sorrow.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be handed the family, a
copy sent to the county paper, one
spread on our record and one sent
to our official paper, Monthly It'd
igs.

London, Nov. 25-(By the Associat-

admitted officially that the Irish peace
ns., ,otiations had reached a grave and
critical stage.
A prominent member of the Slim

too serious for talk" he said. CAR.
thur Griffith. Micheal Collins and
George Duffy (the Sim Fein dele

counsel with Mr.. De Valera and tn:

are to adopt. They will return to

Lloyd Georges Position
At today's interview Mr.. Lloyd
George was unable to give Ulster as
surance that even if she agreed to his
proposal the Sim Fein would admit
the point Of allegiance to the King as
King pf ireland. Such admission has
been refused by the Dali Eireann rep
resentatives who are declared to view
Ireland's position solely as that of an
Independent state which, however,
might make treaties with the Other
states of the British empire and prob
ably even acknowledge the king al
the president of federation of free
states.
This is nothing like the settlemen
