C. .1. Lord. As a Christian and church work er he was loyal and zealous, the ex ample of his life will be held in sacred memory by those who knew him best and we think of him in the words of Paul: “1 have fought a good fight, 1 have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Hen ceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord , the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. ” Whereas, we, the Sunday School of Cochran Baptist church, have lost, in the death of Brother Lord, a valued and helpful friend, there for he it resolved: 1. That we extend to each mem ber of his family our deepest sym pathy, praying that God’s love and peace may fill their hearts while they understand that “lie knoweth best.*’ 2.

Dear Sir: I have your favor of the Bth., inst., and thank you for the kind words you have written. Regard ing the rumor that two negroes went to Atlanta and asked me to offer a reward for the people who lynched the negro who shot Mr. Boothe, will state that there is not a shadow of a truth in this charge.

The reward was offer ed because the press and the public opinion were condemning the lynch ing and commanding that such steps he taken to vindicate the law. With high regard, Very truly yours, (signed! Jos. M. Brown.
