At the regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Jackson Banking, Co., held on Saturday June 9th, the following resolutions were passed:

Whereas, God inn His infinite wisdom has seen fit to remove from among us our close friend and associate, Mr. Asa H. Smith, who was for twenty-five years vice president of this bank; and

Whereas, we shall miss his wise and dependable counsel and pleasant association.

Therefore, be it resolved, That we bow in humble submission to our Father-s will, knowing that He does all things well, that we dedicate a page in our minute book as a token of our love and esteem for him; that these resolutions be published in the Jackson Progress-Argus and a copy be furnished the bereaved family.

A. H. Smith - Dead

Whereas, God in his infinite mercy and wisdom has taken from us our beloved friend and brother in the church, Asa Hiram Smith who for many years was a member of this church and until his death was a faithful trustee, ever ready to give generously of his time and means for the furtherance of the welfare of the church, therefore,

Be it resolved: First, That in the death of this upright and honorable official the church has suffered a severe loss and the board of trustees has given up one of its most faithful members. Individually we have lost a true and loyal friend.

Secondly, To the family of Mr. Smith we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their great sorrow, and grieve with them in the loss of one whose place cannot be filled.

Thirdly, That these resolutions be paced on the minutes of the Quarterly Conference of the Jackson Church South, published in the county paper, and a copy presented to the family of Mr. Smith.
