DIE.

Died at the residence of T. w. B. Smith,
IN this county, on Sunday, the 22d inst,
Jeremiah Smith.
Deceased was born in Grayson cou ,ty,
Virginia. on the 9th day of April, 1915.
where he resided until 1888, when he re.
moved to the State e,of Indiana, residing in
the latter State until 1852, when he re-
moved to Oregon, where he resided until
the time of his death. In 1889 he was mar.
ried to Miss Christiana Hall, in the State
Of Virginia, his wife only living until 1850
The only child who survived childhood was
Tyra w. B. Smith, who is we'll known in
our community, and at whose house Mr..
Smith died. On his arrival in Oregon Mr..
$. first settled in Polk county, but after q
few years removed to Douglas county, where
he engaged in farming and stock raising, III
which business he continued until 1875, at
which time feelinga desire to be with his
only child more constantly, he settled his
business and came to this county to make a
permanent home. Being strongly attached
to home, and retired from business, his ae
quaintance was limited, but those who die
know him will always remember him as one
whose true worth and nobility of characte:
entitled him not only to universal respect
but to the strong friendships he had formed
and high esteem which all who knew hin
accorded him. He was a brother of Hon.
Green B. Smith, of this county For many
years Mr.. Smith had been consistent mem
ber of the Christian Church, and died in the
well founded hope of blessed Immortality
beyond The grave. His life had been ono of
activity and usefulness, and even in his ad.
vanced years his health was good, being
sick less than 4S hours before his death
His last sickness commenced with severe
chill about o'clock Saturday morning, but
recovering to q certain extent no fears were
entertained for several hours, when he was
again taken worse and a physician called,
WHO did all that medical skill could do, but
to no avail, and at 10 P. N. Sabbath, sur.
rounded by loving relatives and friends, he
peacefully breathed his last. The enco-
mum of "a good man. follows him to a
peaceful grave.

The music was selected with an eye to the
occasion, and was well executed, the prin-
cipal singers being Mrs. Addition, Mrs,
Woodward, and Messrs. Starr, Brock, Ben
nett and Raber. OF course the principal
feature was the address of the evening by
T. s. Jefries, ESQ.,, and to desire to hear
him to great extent was due the large
audience present. All expected good
lecture, and none were disappointed. In
opening he took the position that intemper-
ance was an evil and should not be toler-
ated some time was devoted to argument
in support of this proposition, in which the
speaker showed himself not only logical
debater but an eloquent and forcible speak

the evil still existed unchecked, concluding
with the assertion that intemperance could
only be controlled by educating the young to
different standard, which standard he
fixed at prohibition. Mr. ]. has but re-

OTHER ITEMS ABOUT THE FIRE OF YESTERDAY.
Correspondence Of the Richmond DIspatch.l
SEPTEMBER 80, 1881.
The losses by the fire fall most heavily on
Mr.. 6. II. Holland. the owner OF the build
inc, and Messrs. Holland & Hickey. The
building was worth at least S150 600, but
vas insured for only So 900, and Messrs.
Holland q Hickey, who estimate their stock
AZ $4,000, had insurance.. for only 80 900.
In the statement sent yesterday nothing
was said about the insurance on Hollands
warehouse. The loss to the house in the
crushing Of the shed is put down at about
$1,000, and this is covered by insurance. IL
/. confidently stated that the fire originated
i'm the store Of Il. G.. B9nister, but the cause
of il has not been ascertained.
Mr. John s. Hickey Is thought to have
made a narrow escape. His room was The
Office OF Holland q Hickey, over the store
OF Banister, and be was aroused from sleep
by calls from the outside and by the Op-
preston caused by The heat 9nd smoke.
Running out upon a shed in his night
clothes, he stood as it were perfectly over
come, and seemed not disposed to heed the
calls to him to jump down, nor 10 do any
thing. After awhile be recovered self-pOs-
session, let himself down in reach Of parties
who stood below. and was then safely put
upon the ground. In such haste and con-
fusion u mind did he leave his room that
he lost his apparel, and with it bis money,
and yet 50 true TO the instincts OF a eooi
clerk was be that hetOok his ledger out with
bin.
Hollands warehouse, as | have inti-
mated. stood next to the store OF a. VI.
Bruce q Co. Mr.. =. b. Law, who IS ono OF
the proprietOrs and The chief clerk, had a
short time before the alarm was sounded

house. When the alarm was given a parti-
ton that separates the office from the sales
room was Knocked down, and tue iron safe,
books, papers, aud apparatus hurried out.
So systematically was everything done, al
though in the utmost dispatch, that the
office was ready for business at the usual
hour, and sale could have been held had il
been necessary 10 hold one.
