To The Worshipful Master, Warden and Brethern of Echo Lodge, No. 345:
We, your committee, appointed by the Worshipful Master to offer resolutions
as a tribute of respect to the memory of brother James Alexander, deceased,
beg leave to submit the following:
Brother Alexander was born in South Carolina June 17th 1812, and died at his
home near Center Church, in Henry County, August 28th 1892, aged 80 years,
2 months and 11 days. Brother Alexander was married to Miss Elizabeth J.
STOKES on January 10th, 1833, and to them were born five sons and four
daughters. Three sons and two daughters preceded him to the spirit world.
He joined the M. E. Church, South, when quite young, of which he was a
devoted member. he has filled various offices in the church, with honor to
the church and pleasure to himself. He took great interest in the poor of
the church and the support of the ministry. He practiced that charity
which
does not end with fruition, but extends beyond the grave, through the
boundless realms of vast eternity. Brother Alexander was one of the
charter
members of Echo lodge F. & A. M., No. 345. he was true to its
principles,
regarding the whole human race as one family - the high and the low, the
rich and the poor - who as created by one almighty Parent and inhabitants
of the same planet, are to aid, support and protect each other. When
having faithfully discharged the great duties he owed to God, to his
neighbor and to himself, it pleased the Grand Master of the universe to send
His tile, Death, to summon him in to His presence, there to receive that
plaudit, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; enter though into the
joys of thy Lord."
Whereas, A wise Providence has seen fit to take away from us our beloved
brother, whose death makes a vacancy in our Lodge that will long be felt;
and
Whereas, In his death the Lodge loses one of its strong supporters, the
community one of its best citizens, the family a faithful husband, a devoted
father, therefore, be it:
Resolved, 1st: That while we deeply feel the loss of our beloved brother,
and while we realize how hard it will be to fill his placed in our Lodge,
church and community, we bow with submission to the will of Him who is too
wise to make mistakes, and too good to be unkind.
Resolved 2d. That we will never forget the examples of his life, but pray
that they may serve as a guide to us through life, and that they may ever
prove a blessing which will always make his memory dear to us.
Resolved 3d. That we tender our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved
family, and will ever pray that the God whom he served may sustain then so
to live as that there may be a reunion of loved ones in the sweet by-and-by.
Resolved 4th. That a copy of this report be spread upon the minutes a copy
sent to his family, and a copy the Banner and the Southern Star for
publication.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Wednesday evening, the 22nd inst., at 8:30 p.m. marked an important epoch in
the life history of W. A. HILL and Miss Tee DOWLING. 'Twas then the twain
were made to realize the full meaning of the sentiment - 'two souls with but
a single thought, two hearts that beat as one". At the hour
designated, the
elite of Ozark assembled at the Methodist church to witness the nuptial
ceremony of this happy couple. The chancel of the church had been
elegantly
festooned and garlanded by Cupid's fair represenatives. The altar was
transformed into a veritable Hymenial Arcadia and lover's rosy bower. Into
this enchanting retreat marched, with queenly step, Miss Jimmie YARBROUGH,
who beguiled at the organ all earthly cares with the dulcet tones of
Mendelsohn's wedding march, as the bridal party filed up the aisle, and
while Rev. A. HOOD "tied the knot there's no untying." The file
march of
the lady and gentlemen attendants, separately, up opposite aisles, and the
cross march before the altar, was unique and exquisite. The ceremony over,
the bridal party and invited guests repaired to the residence of the bride's
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. C. DOWLING, to partake of a superb
wedding supper that had been tastefully and artistically spread for the
occasion. After partaking of the elegant repast, the ladies and gentlemen
mingled in social converse in the parlors and through the halls. The
witching tones of the organ, in aid of "sweet music and her sister,
Song"
lent pleasure and enchantment to the occasion, and made all present feel
that "it was good and pleasant to be there." The bride was the
recipient of
many handsome and costly presents. The Banner wafts congratulations to the
happy couple. May they "bear one another's burdens and live long,
lovingly
and prosperously!"

Next Sunday, Rev. A. HOOD, pastor of the M.E. Church, will deliver his last

duties of the hour.
A happy wedding occurred at the residence of the bride's parents, near
Dalevilee, on Sunday morning, Nov 27th, the contracting parties being Mr.
Will METCALF, son of Mr. Fayette METCALF, and Miss Tempie POUNCEY, daughter
of Mr. Irvin POUNCEY. Rev. Chas. PELLUM officiating. After the
ceremony at
the homestead, the bridal party attended Divine services at the Clayhatchie
church, upon the conclusion of which they, and a large crowd of invited
friends, returned to the residence, where a sumptuous dinner was discussed
amid joyful themes and social pleasures. Miss Tempie is a beautiful young
lady of charming character, and the young gentleman of her choice has won a
jewel of grace and loveliness. The Banner wishes much happiness and
prosperity may attend them.
Tom WATSON's defeat is not accepted by himself nor his friends. He served
notice of contest on his opponent Mr. BLACK, and at a late mass meeting held
at Thomson, Mr. WATSON's home, a popular subscription fund was started to
raise $5000 to contest the election of BLACK.

Politics and The Possession of a Letter Led To It
A special from Union Springs to the Advertiser, dated Nov. 23d says: A
terrible tragedy occurred here this morning. F. M. MOSELEY shot and
probably fatally wounded J. H. ELEY. The trouble has been brewing for some
time. About 10 o'clock ELEY approached MOSELEY and asked to have a talk.
MOSELEY replied that he did not wish to talk, and walked rapidly away.
ELEY
followed calling on him to stop, with conflicting reports as to the language
used. MOSELEY fired three times in quick succession. ELEY falling,
MOSELEY
again walked rapidly away. ELEY rose and pursued him with a brick and hit
him on the head with it. MOSELEY fired again, ELEY clinched with MOSELEY
and threw him to the ground. He had a knife at MOSELEY's throat and would
have killed him if parties had not caught the knife and pulled ELEY off.
ELEY was lately cashier and stockholder of the Bullock county bank. He is
now a cotton buyer. MOSELEY is a merchant in business with B. T. ELEY, a
brother of J. H. ELEY.
The Evening Journal states that the trouble between the two men grew out of
a letter which, it is alleged, was written to Mr. MOSELEY by Alto V. LEE,
during the candidacy of the latter for the Congressional nomination in
opposition to Hon. W. C. OATES, which letter was claimed, fell into Mr. J.
H. ELEY's hands and was by him sent to Mr. OATES, and which was used in the
contest for the solicitorship of the Third circuit in opposition to Mr.
LEE's candidacy for re-election as solicitor. After the caucus last week
Mr. MOSELEY and Mr. ELEY had some conversation about this letter, Mr.
MOSELEY expressing doubt whether he had ever seen the letter or not. The
tendency of the conversation at this time was heated, and but for the
intervention of a friend, it is believed a difficulty would have occurred
then. Since that time the feeling between the parties has been intense,
and
it was feared that trouble might occur at any time. At 10 o'clock this
morning, Mr. ELEY was resting quietly and hopes for his recovery were
stronger than at any time since the shooting.

Letter to the Editor
Mr: Editor:
Will you permit an old Alabamian a small place in your paper? I receive
your paper once every week, and appreciate it very highly. I have been in
Texas six years; came here in 1886. I like Texas, but I love
Alabama. I
was born there; my father, mother, and sister, with a great many relatives
and friends, sleep there in her bosom awaiting the resurrection morn.
We have a mountainous country here in this part. We live almost midway
between the cities of Mason and Llano. Llano is, or has been, on a
boom;
she has now a railroad; she had some splendid buildings, especially the
Algonza Hotel. There is a mineral craze in this country. Crops are
pretty
good here, though needing rain.
Our crop of candidates is very large. For governor there are three; in
this
county for county judge, five; for sheriff, one; for tax assessor, five or
six, etc. Politics are high; much discussion. I see you have a
correspondent who signs his name W. J. HATCHER. is he the W. J. H. who
once
belonged to Company "C", 31st GA Reg., Lawton's Brigade, Confederate
Volunteers?
I belong to the Alliance, but I am not a third party man. Jeffersonian
Democracy is good enough for me.

Mr. SHIVER died on Monday evening 19th inst. He had been conveyed to his
home, and the limb amputated; but despite all that kindness and skill could
suggest, his death followed. The doctors ascribe it to internal injuries.

To the President and members of the Echo Farmer's alliance and Industrial
union No. 430:
You committee appointed to draft obituary for sister Mary LISENBY, deceased,
beg leave to make the following report:
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to take from us our beloved sister Mary
LISENBY on April 19, 1892.
Sister LISENBY was married to William H. LISENBY September 18, 1849, and to
them were born five sons and three daughters. One son preceded her to the
spirit world. The husband and seven children she left behind with
appealing
admonitions to so live and and that when they, too, would be called from
labor to refreshment, they would be prepared to meet her in the Paradise of
God, and there join her in giving all the praise to the God of her
salvation - the God she loved and worshipped, while tabernacling here below.
Sister LISENBY leaves three brothers, two of them ministers of the Gospel,
who greatest ambition is to do the will of God. She seemed to rejoice that
hope of meeting them, together with her immediate family, in that "sweet
by-and-by that haven of reset, where they would be free from toil and pain
in giving undivided praise to God. Sister Lisenby was a friend to the
sick.
It was a source of pleasure to her to visit the sick, and administer comfort
by word and act. She was a devoted wife, always willing and ready to
give
her husband words of comfort and cheer. She was an affectionate and tender
mother, endeavoring to bring up her children in the nurture and admonition
of the Lord. She was a life long member of the M. E. church, South,
complying with its laws in letter and spirit. She was a member of our
order. She loved the order, and manifested the same by giving us her
presence in our meetings. Therefore, be it
Resolved by Echo Farmer's alliance and Industrial union, That we tender to
the bereaved husband and family of our beloved sister our sincere sympathy,
and would admonish them to hold in sacred remembrance those precious
admonitions she gave them just before crossing the Jordan of death.
Resolved, That a special place in our minute book be set apart for this
report and that the same be published in The Banner.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Sheriff MCKNIGHT of Coffee, is being guyed a little by the boys. It is
told
that he went to Dot to arrest a man, and with a posse comitatus, raided the
man's house before daybreak thinking to take the gentleman while he was
least prepared for resistance. But, reinforced by his wife, the man made
valourous defence, and in the struggles with his captors, his few clothes
were soon torn off, leaving him in almost a state of nudity. Continuing
his
fierce resistance, the perspiration began to exude freely, which rendered
him so slippery as to defy the efforts of the officers, who might as well
have tried to handle a fresh eel; the outcome being that the man escaped the
to woods, and the officers received a good tongue lashing from his wife, as
they retired discomfited and worn out with their efforts.

It leaks out that a $500 registered package sent from this city to Mr.
PHILLIPS at Charlton, did not reach that gentleman in good shape, says the
Eufaula Times. The money left Eufaula on the evening train Thursday, and
was handed by Mr. Will SHEEHAN, a young man who worked in the Eufaula office
for a year or two, and who carried out the mail because of the sickness of
the regular route agent. It is understood that Mr. SHEEHAN claims to have
delivered the package whole to Mr. S. A. HANNA, the postmaster at Charlton,
and he exhibits Mr. HANNA's receipt for the money. Mr. HANNA, however,
sets
up that the package was filed when it reached his hands, and there you are.
It's an ugly affair and will occasion the presence here of a postoffice
inspector, and probably result in the arrest of someone. The Times can't
believe that either one of these men is guilty of the theft, and it is very
much in hope that an examination will exonerate both of them. But somebody
got the money. Who was it?

Died at Skipperville, Ala. July 16, 1892, Willie C. DYKES. The subject of
this notice was born in Dale county January 15, 1879 and lived to the age
of 22 years, 6 months and 1 day. For two months he suffered intensely,
being the victim of typhoid fever. Though not a member of any church,
Willie was a good boy, and had many associates and friends who were loth to
give him up. For some days before his death he seemed conscious of his
approaching exit, and left strong evidence that he was prepared for the
ordeal. What comfort and consolation to his parents and relatives to know
that when the summons came, he was prepared to answer. In the cemetery at
Skipperville, at 10 a.m., Sunday, July 17th surrounded by a large concourse
of relatives and friends, all that was mortal of Willie was consigned to the
tomb to await the morn of the general resurrection, when the body and the
spirit will be reunited. The Ritualistic service was conducted by the
writer. To the bereaved family, we tender profound sympathy.

We, your committee appointed to draft an obituary of sister Mary E. JOHNSON,
be leave to make the following report:
Sister JOHNSON, was born in December, 1854, a daughter of the late Neill
MUNN, Esq. She became a member of the Presbyterian church in May, 1870
under the ministry of Rev. R. NALL, D. D., In October, 1875, she was united
in marriage to Mr. A. M. JOHNSON (now Brother JOHNSON), and from this
marriage came eight offspring - four boys (one dead) and four girls.
Our
dear sister departed this life on the 29th of September, 1892, after a
painful illness of only a few days, leaving abundant evidence of a
consistent Christian live and a triumphant death. As an Alliance, we feel
that we have lost a valuable member - a fearless defender of our order in
her sphere; and while we are left to mourn her loss, we fell that it is her
eternal gain. To our bereaved brother, we extend our brotherly sympathy,
and pray that the protecting hand of our God may be over and about him and
the motherless children. We, your committee, recommend that a copy of this
obituary be furnished by the clerk to Bro. JOHNSON, and to the Banner for
publication.
