An Individual Tribute that Speaks
the General St utlmeut. '
To the Jimnuil.
The press aud bar have spoken of
the death of Col. Robert Strange in
language which cannot often be used
upon the death of a man, and wilt yon
allow one from the humbler walks of
life to pay tribute to one who by his
nobleness of character, honesty and in
tegrity bus won his love and admira
tion? Years ago, for the first time, I saw
Col. Strange at the Court House in
Fayetteville, ere the autumn frosts
had tinged his head. He was young,
eloquent and attractive, and drew forth
my admiration-; but not such as I now
have, for then it was but the outward
attraction; now it is from an iusight to
his heart, his character, his life. I
cannot call myself a personal friend in
the strict sense of the term, yet I loved
him as few men I can love loved hitn
for his genuine worth. Oft times we
read of great men and when we sec and
hear them we are disappointed. Not
so with Col.' Struuge. In him antici
pation, was more than realized. The
man rose higlier and higher in the scale
of greatness the more one saw of him.
Thrown with him recently in business
ittaters I couldT.but mark the decisive
expression of opinion, governed solely
sceuiiiigly by justice and riht and that
too without hesitation. Who is there
that is not sad when he reflects that
Robert Strange is dead? His voice is
forever hushed, yet the words of his
wisdom linger upon the earth and the
memory or him will only die when
death shall wipe all remembrances
from our tablets, Fkiknd.

LOCAL HEWS,
Col. Robert Strange.
A.I m meeting of the veTlry of 8t.
James' Parish January 25th,' 1877, it
waa unanimously resolved that
ths fallowing minute be entered
upon the records of the Psrisb, aud
that a couy be sent to the family of
the deceased :
Itjhaviug pleaded God to remove
from among us onr uieuU -and
brother and companion iu labor,
Robert Strange, we, bis fellow vm
trvinen. desire to express and record
our appreciation of his worth and tf
our own loss.
-An intimate association ijth him
for many years iu secular business,
in social life and in religious labor,
in circumstances widely varied, ofttu
such as to severely try liuniau
nature, has not only euablml us to
form an intelligent- valuation of bin
character but has result- d in a col
tinually increased estimate of his
worth.
We mean no exaggtiration!ien we
say that the severer the trial the
higher the point to whioh he has
risen in our respect and love. Of all
the Christian gentlemen it Las falleu
to our lot in life to know he was
among the very best in our esteem
To mental capacities, of a high
order be added great culture aud
uuusnal stores of aoeurute knowl
edge. As a lawyer lie oooupied au
enviable position an, org bis profes
sional brethren, yet was he not
envied; h.s own heart frte from
.selfishness or jeulousy he escaped
tliose evils in the bearts of others.
To the honor f bis brethren at the
bar, as well as to his owu, it can be
said that, notwithstanding his pre
eminence, all respected and loved
him; none envied him or desired to
diminish hfrs well earned reputation
A natural gentlemau uniting a
true aud innate dignity to a warm
and loving heart commanding ou
every sine respect, while eutering
with the readiest and most cordial
sympathy into all human interests
around him; courteous and oareful
of the feelings of all, whether Ligh
or low, with whom he came in con
tact; kindly, frank, yet never" offen
sive, gentle as a woman, yet of a
noble manliness, firm without ob
stinacy, strong, yet exceptionally
modest, without the least self-assertion
or pbtrusiveness, largely yet
silently generous, of integrity unim
peachable, liigh-tonod and abhorrent
of all meanness and wrong, bis word
as good as his oath ; men felt that tbey
oonld rely upon him implioitly for
both justice and sympathy, and
eould, without reserve or apprehen-
sion, entrust him with their Beoiets,
their interests and their property,
assured that .rather than wrong an
other, he would have wr.mged him
self. A Christian gentleman, one
who to the graces of this life added
those of the greater life to oone,
whose excellencies here were the
rudiments of au eternal nobility,
whose life had root in deep religious
faith, and in whom faith and. love,
with puiity and reverence were
rarely "blended.
A man true to hh fellow men, true
to his friend, true to his family and
kinsfolk, true to bis church, true as
mortal men are true, to his Supreme
and Eternal Father, a true and
humble follower of his Savior, he
was one whose memory will be ever
dear to us, and to whose example we
look as one! of God's instrumentali
ties to lead m to a better life.
