Campbell last Sunday morning. The night prexious. \xe espmzt an hum and a halt in his compan) . and left him about ten O'clock, in good Spirits, and :mpnimntly in perfect hmllth. INSPECTOR CAMPBELL DEAD On Friday he had been attending his inspectoral duties and was feel- ing well, but slightly fatigued. On Sunday morning he made the re- mark that he hadn't a pain or ache. and felt in perfect health. A few minutes later he was seized with a severe pain in the chest but. recov- ered shortly and partook of his breakfast with the family. After family worship. he went up stairs to prepare for church, but fell as he entered the bedroom, and in five minutes the spirit had taken its ifn'erlasting flight. For a few months past, Mr. Camp- hell had been feeling unwell at times, and a few weeks ago eon- sulted a couple of Toronto specialâ€" ists, who advised him to be care- ful, as his heart was affected, and there were indications of a harden- ing of the arteries. From the diagâ€" nosis of the physicians, and the ad- vice given, he knew that the end was likely to come suddenly. His family and friends were aware of the condition, and the awfully sud.- den ending of: a bright life was not wholly unexpected, but few thought the end: would come so soon. ' early life he worked on the farm, like most country boys of his early‘ days. He was a brilliant youth, and his ambitions led him to secure an education, and he took a teacher’s certificate and began life on his own account as a teacher in Hamp- den and Aberdeen schools in the adjacent townships. In connection\ rev-{Hy- with his duties, he worked hard, and advanced himself educationally and secured a higher grade of cer~ tificate. He attended High school at Collingwood, and subsequently took his firstâ€"class Grade A certificate. He taught for a time at Alliston, and later had a position on the staff oi\ ‘ ] the High school in Whitby. , This brings us up to the end of MSSG, when the inspectorsl’iip of 'South Grey became vacant by the lresignation oi‘ the late Mr. Ferguâ€" lson. Mr. Campbell was one of a I.numberbf applicants at the De- 1 cember session of the council, when ihe was successful in getting the fappointment, which he has filled Econtinuously ever since, with much 'credit to himself and a benefit to {the inspectorate. ‘ In the spring of 1887, the writer first met the deceased in Flesher-j tton. It was some time in May, and ,the friendship then formed was imutual and permanent, and devel- loped into a mutual confidence. In lthe death of Mr. Campbell, we not; lonly regret. but mourn the loss of, 'a true and abiding friend, and the: ! announcement of his death on Sun- , day last was a real shock. i The following June he married: . Miss McDonald from near Alliston, I and to them were born four childâ€", 7gren, three of whom survive: Islay; L": and Ian, at home, and William A”, 'iwho was on the ocean for overseas service at the time of his father’s- ; death. He leaves also to mourn his death one brother, Barrister A. G. .Campbell, of Toronto, and one sis- "ter, Mrs. John Henderson, of Port ’ i Elgin. l I ’ The deceased was a good Christ- ; ian character, and a devoted mem- - ber of the Presbyterian church. He was chahitable towards all religâ€" ious denominations, and if at all gconvenient he could always be deâ€" Jpended upon to fill a pulpit va- _ ‘ cancy in his own or any of the sisâ€" .. ter churches.

It was only some six or seven years ago that Mr. Campbell com- pleted his course in Arts, taking his B. A. outside the university. We mention this as a high tribute to his ability, and a task that 1‘err advanced in years would think of undertaking. ln social circles, the deceased was a useful man.

It is rumored that Hon. A. G. Mac- 1 Kay, M.P.P., for Athabasca Landing! is likely soon to retire from politics: but what his intentions for the fu- ture are is a matter of specula- tion. Mr. MacKay has always been a hard worker, and since his re- cent illness, which brought him almost to death’s door, he is not able to keep his natural high ten- sion. A cabinet position in an ad»- yisory capacity, Without portfolio, is guessed at; it is also thought he may retire from public 'life and engage wholly in his profession. Nothing is known definitely, and it is highly probable that A. G. will keep the secret to himself. The Late Inspector Campbell. .Wm.
