I)1•;ATIi 05' J. S. Seirrn.-Many ne-
eluaintances in Huron and Middlesex
will hear with regret of the death of
James ee Smith, Esq., father of Mrs.
Henry Smith, of Exeter north, which
occurred Monday morning athis farm,
in the township of McGillivray, known
as e -Maple Lodge." He had resided in
that township for 41 years, and was
known far ,tr and wide ,
t 1
(. as one of the
i
most active stock raisers. in the west-
ern peninsula, and a farmer of ad-
vanced ideas. He had been ailing for
some time, and his death was not al-
together unexpected. Mr. Smith was
an ardent politician some thirty years
ago, and represented North Middle -
;ex in the Ontario Legislature during
two Parliaments, being first elected
in 1867, and again in 1871. At the
next election in 1876, Mr. John Mc-
Dougall, of Lobo, defeated him, and
after that he was not much heard of
in politics, although he continued to
take an interest in public matters in
the smaller -sphere of thetownship. He
was Reeve of McGillivray four years,
from 1863 to 1866, and was one of the
County Councillors at the time that
township was detached from Huron
and joined to Middlesex. Mr. Smith
was a well-informed gentleman, and
took great pride in his herds, and
flocks, bis annual sale being one of
the features of the west in the olden
time. In agricultural matters, too,
Mr. Smith was energetic. Reorganiz-
ed the McGill ivrayAgricultural Society
in 1860, and held the office of President
for sixteen years. • He raised a large
family, who are all grown up and
well-to-do. In political Iife he was
familiarly known as "Silent" Smih,
which nickname was given him during
the reign of the Sandfield McDonald
Government. The funeral yesterday
was largely attended.
