The funeral sevice of Mr. T.
Banks Belk, the well known merchant
who died suddenly of heart
failure the evening of the 15th,
took place Friday afternoon at 3
o'clock from his late residence in
the eastern section of the town.
Almost the entire citizenshio of
the town and many people from
the surrounding country were
present to pay the last respects
to this honored and useful citizen.
The funeral was to have been
held at 2 o'clock, but Mr. William
Mack, a brother of Mrs. Belk,
who came from New York, missed
his connection at Charlotte
and had to take an auto in that
city, traveling in this way to the
end of the macadam road near
Harrison church, where he was
met with a team from this place.

"Whereas God, in his all-wise providence,
did, on December 30, 1J07, remove
from the service of earth to the
reward of heavon, our faithful friend
and honored brother. Dr. James Henley

the 13th day of May, 1846. Ho came to
Fort Mill in February, 1882, and for
twenty-five years has been the wellbeloved
pastor of the Presbyterian congregation.
He has labored earnestly
and faithfully among all of the people
of oar community, by whom he was affectionately
held in high osteein.
He was made a Knight of Pythias in
Oaklaud lodge No. 45 and was a charter
member of Eleotra Lolge No. 87; for
about two years he was Grand Prelate
of the Grand Lodge of Sonth Carolina,
and was Grand Keeper of Records and
Seal from July 1900 until his death; ho

the principles of Friendship, Charity
and Benevolence, showing by pre :ept
and example his entire belief in the
Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood
of Man.
As the year drow near its olose, he
was called, by the Supremo Chancellor
of the Universe, to eternal membership
in the Suprome Lodge above, passing

and faithful advocate of the
cause of Friendship, Charity and Benevolence.
That we bow in submission to the
will of tho Almighty Father, while the
memory of our deceased brother's kindly
efforts aud cheerful examnla Rnatnina

That a oopy of these resolutions be
