VOLUME 26. AN OUTRAGEON JUSTICE RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF W. H. C. HAMMOND. At the regular meeting of ancient York Lodge No-F & A M the Commit tee duly appointed to draft suitable resolutions expressive of our loss as masons, in the demise of our brother W. H. C. Hammond who departed this life on the Bth day of March 1907 report as follows; We as Masons recognize the decree of our God, and therefore sorrow not, but as obedient children, humbly bow to that August Command which is : 4 ‘Come unto me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest” The end of man is not death, death is only a long 3leep in which the body rests from the variegated labors of this life. Why then should we sorrow when a companion falls on this sleep. God will awake the body In his own good time! When by the eternal decree our brother passed from this life we miss ed his presence among us as one who was prompt and faithful to the vows of our brotherhood. One who in his dailey life not only exemplified the walk of the lowly Nazarine in his teachings while on earth, but one who at the same time lived the life of his mansonic teachings. To say that he was a mason is only to sav he was a just and Upright man. What more can we say? No eulogy is necessary to impress his virtues upon masons, among whom he was well known as an ardent woaker in the promulgation of its tenets. Our deceased brother was raised to the sublime degree of a master mason in Ringold lodge in Spaulding County in the year 1882 over which lodge his father presided as Master for many years. Brother Hammond filled all the offices in the Lodge and was a part Master at time of his death. We will miss his wise counsels but must submit to the in scrutable decree. Therefore be it resolved that we cause these resolutions to be publish ed in our County papers, and a copy tinder the seal of this Lodge be fur nished to the family of our deceased brother and a copy be preserved in the Archives of the lodge.

After a lang illness Mr. Maddox died at his home five miles East of Jackson Mondav. The funeral services were held over the remains at Macedonia Church Tuesdpy at 10 a’clock. The inter ment was in Macedonia Cemetery. TO BRIDGE OGMULGEE RIVER Notice is hereby given that I will go before the Commissioners of Butts and Jasper Counties and ask their co-operation in building a bridge a cross Ocmulgee river. The co-operation I will ask will be as follows: If I can induce the Bibb Power Cos to build a bridge at some point between the Loyd Shoals and Keys old ferry at the most practical and accessible point, this to be deter mined by their engineers then the Commissioners of the two Counties to enter into a cantract for 20 years to give the Bibb Power Cos credit each year on their taxes for a sum equal to the interest on the cost of the bridge, and make it a fine bridge. I don’t think any citizen of Butts or Jasper County will object to such an arrangement as the investments to be made will be on the line of the two Counties and both equally inter ested. I suppose it is pretty generally known that Mr, Howe and myself have been for some time buying up lands along the river for back water priveleges, and I am glad to say we nave generally been met in a spirit of friendly co-operation and fairness. There are many citizens in Butts County who know of the influence I have weilded in having deveiopements made in this County, and they can bear me out in the statement that I have naver worked for an enterprise that proved detrimental to the indi vidual. 1 can say that Mr. Howe is actua ted by the same spirit. So we ask the hearty co-operation of all our people in the great deveiopements we are working for. If the contract is made, and the bridge built, it will be so constructed as to admit of the pas safie of trolley cars from one County to the other. The buildiDg of this electric plant will be by far the largast investment ever made, in either of the two Coun ties.

FRIDAY, MAY 17th 1907. Mayor of Jackson Prostitutes His Office to Gratify Private Grudge. FINES EDITOR OF THE JACK SONIAN FOR ARTICLE AP PEARING IN PAPER, AND NOT FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT FOR WHICH HE WAS CHARGED. There is much talk of prosecuting Wall for maladministration. In the issue of May 3rd the Jacksc nian published an article commend ing the blacksmiths who were adver tising in The Jacksonian which pre cipitated an assault on the Editor by D. F. Thaxton, The Editor defen ded himself as best he could consider ing the fact that he was in bed all day the day before. The matter would have passed as all other unim portant matters do, had not the May or brought charges of disorderly con duct against the parties, and after going througn the mockery of a trial, discharged Mr. Thaxton. and fined Mr. Andrews ten dollars notwith standing the fact that Thaxtons own statement would convicthim for as sault with intent to murder. Mr Andrews appealed to a hearing before the council, and the appeal was granted. Tne council met to hear the case; but in the meantime the mayor and the city attorney, for some unstated cause had decided that it wouldn’t do for the case to go before the council, so they raised the question as to the legality of the ap peal, Mr. Andrews seeing that the mayor and city attorney were groping around in darkness and ignorance, asked for a continuance of the case until he could employ <ouncil to show them where they were at. The may or suddenly rescinded his former de cision, stating that the right of ap peal was unfounded, adjourned court, and walked out. Much bitter feeling is engendered and Wall is severely censured by the whole town and surrounding country for gross injustice, and prostituting of the office of Mayor to gratify a private grudge. A Famous Drummer. Probably the most remarkable drum mer who ever lived was Jean Henri, the famous tambour major of the Em peror Napoleon. One of his feats was to play on fifteen different toned drums at the same time in so soft and harmo nious a manner that, instead of the deafening uproar that might have been expected, the effect was that of a novel and complete instrument. In playing he passed from one drum to the other with such wonderful quickness that the eyes of the spectators could hardly follow the movement of his hands and body.—London Standard. . - CVi Health Reformers Die Young.
