A GOOD MAN GONE.
Calvin l.. smith. "a Pioneer Of Otisco Passes
Away. He Resided ON his Farm I'm
Smyrna since 1S43.

L
| Calvin l.. Smith died at his late resi-
dence in Smyrna Friday, aged Syears.
He was born in Washington county N.
Y, in 1917 and when ninteen years old
moved with his parents to Ogden, N.
Y. He was one of six brothers and
| three sisters.
In 1S43 he married Miss Phebe L.
Harroun and the same year moved to
Michigan, locating in Disco at Smyrna
which has been his home continuously.
In lS47 his wife died and two years
later, Aug. I3, lS49 he was again mar
ried to Miss Philira Northway who
survives him. Two of his brothers are
still living, Judge Sidney Smith OF
Chicago and Edward Smith of Leroy,
n. Y.
Mr. Smith was highly respected by
all his fellow townsmen. He possessed
keene intellect and excellent Judge
ment in "a marked degree and his adj
vice and counsel was much sought
after. What "Uncle Cal" as he was
Familiarity known, said was considered
good authority. He was highway com
missioner for three years and afterward
elected to the Office OF justice of the
peace, which he has held for 46 years,
bringing him into close relationship
with township officers. There has been
no reversal of his judgments by the
higher courts. The deceased had al
ways enjoyed good health until few
months ago when despite medical aid he
gradually failed and although his
sufferings were acute, he did not com
plain and expressed himself as ready for
the change which he knew was soon to
take place. The funeral service was
very largely attended at the church
Sunday, Rev. ID. E. Hills of Greenville
delivering an able sermon from End
Tim. Ito. The township officers acted
as pail bearers and the old cemetery is
his last resting place on earth.

Senator Hill addressed the senate
against the action of the conferees in
striking out his amendment restricting
interrogatories to be asked by officers
collecting the income tax. Senator
Chandler declared no greater mistake
could be made than to strike out the
amendment. Senator Sherman thought
the treasury officials had gone beyond
their powers in framing inquiries and
said they ought to be revised.
After further discussion a vote was
taken on Senator Cockrell's motion that
the senate recede from it's amendment
reducing the revenue agents from 10,
as proposed by the house, to three. The
motion was carried.
Then vote was taken on Senator
Cockrelrs motion that the senate recede
from the amendment offered by Senator
Hill, and it was carried 16 to 49,
Then the Nicaraguan bill was laid
before the senate. Senator Morgan
asked unanimous consent that general
debate on motions shall close on Fri
day at o'clock and that after that
until o'clock debate shall proceed
under the five minute rule, at which
time voting on the amendments and
bills shall be begun. After some dis
cussion the request was agreed to with
reservation that the order shall not
deprive Senator Turpie of an opportuni-
ty to debate at length the bill and pend
ing amendment. The bill was then
temporarily laid aside and Senator Call
called up the Notifications appropria-
ton bill. 1t carries an appropriation Of
1880, 557, an increase of $56,50O over the
amount appropriated by the house
The amount provided for the current fis-
cal year was $2,347 900. The committee
amendments were agreed to and the
bills passed. Then the senate went into
executive session and shortly after
wards adjourned.
