Mir Johnson knew that he had made such place for himself in the hearts of his workers and feowzens But doubt that for he too modest to have portion of his thought self interest while he engaged those activities which made his life in Putnam his monument Yct that has all been said wish that MT Johnson might have known all this before his untimey death There muny citizens who work unsehhy and increasingly for the public good who freely their worthy and progressive and real estimate of this work made until they have passed where they cannot hear

 To me the society is simply mock cry of Christianity Would Jesus teach men and boys to grow so hard ened that they fight and scratch for the eharred flesh of human beings? Would Christian gentlemen come masked and in crowds to subdue one man or Woman2
 Nof Rev Stoddard, neither your God nor my God teach us that Does the klan really love chastity Travel through our Southern states and the mulattoos will tell you No Stay North and your l0Or Americans are hard to distinguish.

TRIBUTE

The members of the Areanum Club sincerely regret the death of John C Johnson He did not often avail him self of the privileges Of the Club but he had maintained his membership for years because of his belief that it was an institution for good, and an influence that counted ia making the city a better place t0 live m.
 He took an active interest, however, in the plans for improving the new quarters and had expressed his inten- ton to take more diversion, to visit the Club more frequently.
 l. is our loss that he cannot carry out his intentions; f is our loss as we'll as that of the community that a man go fine and manly had to be talk en away when he was at the highest point of his usefulness
 Your committee recommends that this appreciation af our esteem be made part of the records of the Club and that they be printed in the local papers.
