                              Resolutions of Respect.
                                      ----------

   Bro. J. R. Andrews was born Nov. 19, 1856, joined the Missionary Baptist church 
of Christ at Meridian in September 1878, and remained a faithful member until his 
death. 

   God in His infinite mercy on November 16, 1899, removed from the walks of life 
and from amongst relatives and hosts of admiring friends to the great beyond our 
beloved brother. He was a true christian, a noble and generous man; he was always 
ready to work for the comfort of those around him. He was charitable and loving 
in disposition, and lived a life of usefulness, and has gone to live with the 
bright host of heaven. His good works will be remembered by us for many days 
to come.

   He will be greatly missed in his church, community, and more especially around 
the fireside of his dear companion and little children. Death was sweet to him 
after much suffering. We believe he crossed the river of death safely, and is 
resting from his labor. He has gone to receive the crown of righteousness laid up 
for him. Resolved, that we, the members of Meridian church, realize the loss we 
sustain in the death of our brother.

   Resolved, that we hereby express our heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved family.

                             J. M. OLIVER,
                             W. W. COBB,
                             J. M. COOPER, Committee.
