Whereas, since our last annual meet

Lewis Stoddard of Co. G, 3rd S. G.
Regiments; Therefore resolved
That it IS meet that we pause in
drawing for this brief hour. from the
Missionary, itful scenes CT this transi-
tory existence, and do honor to the
memory Of our fallen brother, put
ting on record our testimony Of his
courage, fortitudc. and heroic devotion
to the cause of his country.
llc was a soldier always loyal. brave
and true; one that Shranlp from no call
or peril whether on the weary march,
the midnight call to arms; the danger
Gus picket post, or the carnage of the
deadly breach. Enlisting in the early
stages Of the conflict, and serving in
the army Of Northern Virginia, he did
faithful service to Greensboro.
Returning TO his dcsolatc home at
the close, and again resuming his du-
ties he was as true citizen, in all
the relations Of life, as lie had been
loyal and brave in war
Again when the days of reconstruc-
ton and alien rule came, and the
avcnging hand Of the relentless con-
qucror was laid heavily upon our pros
tratc country, he was among the faith
tul band that, inspired by the ever
heroic women Of our country, rose up
in resistance and bidding defiance to
the minions Of vower drove the alien
from our borders, and by assuring for
ever Anglo Saxon rule, made possible
the magic growth of our beloved coun-
try, the fairest region on earth.
While sorrowing in our loss, we
humble ourselves in submission to 'Di-
vine Providence.
We extend to the sorely stricken
family and friends Of our comrade
our deepest sympathy, and commend
them to the loving compassion Of Him,
without whose knowledge and care,
the smallest creature can not fall.
That copy Of these resolutions be
published in the county papers and
sent to the family of our deceased
comradc.

cent federal far loan bonds at the price
Of 102 IS and accrued interest, at
which price they will yield approx
mately 40 per cent to callable date
and 5 per cent thereafter.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
said: This is the largest offering Of
farm loan bonds ever made, but IN
view Of the generally favorable trend
of the investment market and the con:
tinued strong showing Of the federal
loan banks, it is believed that it wiz
be readily absorbed, and as the funds
will go direct to the farmers of th1
country it should do much to improve
