A TRIBUTE TO A COMRADE
Confederate Veterans Pass Resolutions
On His Death.
Comrade W. J. Johnson de¬
parted this life .January 18th
after an illness of only a few
hours. He joined the confeder
erate service in the year 18(>4 at
the tender age of 15 years, and
served the remainder of the war
with honor to himself and the
cause for which he fought, lie
is missed as a good citizen, a
faithful and worthy church mem¬
ber, a loving and devoted father
and husband and a worthy mem¬
ber of our camp. We meet alas,
how often to deplore the deaths
of those who have fallen by our
side in the the same warfares,
and we, the survivors must keep
on in the same paths till Our
lives shall be ended.
The death of this comrade is
more to be deplored by reason of
bis age, he being the youngest
member of the camp. As we
know that our tributes to the
memory of the dead can do them
no good for the rivers and death
flow between us and them, we
would therefore, ask the great
giver of all good to sanctify
bereavement to the wife, tne
orphaned-!ones; to the son from
whom a father’s loving counsel
has been taken, to the daughter
who will never again know a
father’s sweet companionship
and love. Give them beauty for
ashes, the oil of joy for mourn¬
ing and tiie garments of praise
for the spirit of holiness; as it is
Thy hand that lias taken tiie
loved ones from them, so in this
hour of distress and anguish,
ma. : * the same hand draw their
hearts Closely arid tenderly to
Thy bosom.
Sanctify this bereavement to
our community. May we who
know him tor so many years,
who have associated with him
upon terms so familiar and
lightful, realize that soon we too,
must cross that dark river, and
we bow low our heads to the
voice that comes to us from the
skies. ,,Bo still and know that
aiu God.”

no disturbance of any oc¬
curring; but the quiet determin

voters, who began to vote at an
early hour, showed the way the
wind was blowing and the result
was easily predicted ere the polls
were closed, The large vote
polled indicated the
of the issues involved, being
much larger than heretofore.
