JUDGE William r. Lockwood, of |
Quincy, Illinois, died in that city on |
the first day of September in the sew
enty-eighth year of his age. He was a
native of Delaware but had lived in
the west over fifty years. He was an
uncle of Mrs. Katharine Douglass,
and cousin of Mrs. B. B. Allen, of this
town.
JOHN E. PHILLIPS, JR., has been
appointed foreman of the Smyrna
Hosiery Factory, succeeding Mr.. Gum,
who has returned to Germantown.
We congratulate our young townsman
on thus 50 early coming to the front.
He showed an aptitude from the first,
and by following this up with close at
tentiOn to the work before him, and
an effort to master his business, he has
reached an advanced place perhaps
sooner than he expected.
Mrs. SARAH 2. CAMPBELL died at
the residence of her son, l.. P. Camp
bell, at Woodland Beach on Saturday,
aged II years, and was buried yester-
day at Leipsic. She was the widow of
the late VIM. j. Campbell, her maiden
name being COverdale. Mr.. Campbell
was for a number of years clerk of the
Zephyr or other steamers running out
Smyrna river, subsequently being pro-
prietOr of the Smyrna House in this
town several years, aud after that of
the Logan House, on Bombay Hook.
The large and pretty flower garden
which for so many years adorned the
north side of the residence of the late
John H. Bewley, as a part of it, is now q
thing of the past. The spacious cellar
for the new house of Dr. J. r. McCaus-
land on the lot recently purchased by
the latter from Mrs. Bewley, occupies
| the larger part of it, the walks and
attract the passer-by, giving place to
what will doubtless be an attractive
! dwelling. The work on the latter,
that was delayed by the architect, will
now be pushed with energy. Water
has been introduced from the street,
and the work of laving the bricks in
the excavation for the cellar wall, com.
menced yesterday morning.
The appointment of VIM. NJ. Dick
son by Gov. Reynolds, clerk of the
peace to succeed A. H. Cahall, was
known by members of the party early
Monday afternoon, and fell as wet
blanket, seemingly, on the whole
party. The consequence was a mum
Der of expressions uncOmplimentary to
the Governor, classifying this as one oi
a number of blunders. The chief OBJ
lection seemed to be the conferring of
the Office on one who had not asked
for it., turning down men who had
fought the battles of the party more
years than the appointee could mum
ber from his cradle. They thought
he could we'll afford to wait a few
years. Mr.. Dickson spent a part oil
his bOyhood in Smyrna, his fatheI
residing here several years, and is vel
and favorably remembered by those o.
corresponding age.
