    Death of Mr. Thos. Clarke, of North Dumfries

    We very much regret to announce the death of Mr. Thos. Clarke, of North Dumfries, one of its oldest and best known residents. From Mr. Thos. Chisholm we learn that visiting Mr. Clarke on Tuesday evening he found him perfectly well and chatted for some time with him over assessment matters and the likelihood of his moving into Galt to spend the rest of his days. Next morning while at breakfast, without any complaint, Mr. Clarke threw up his hands and partially slid off his chair, death coming almost instantly. As we have said Mr. Clarke was one of the best known farmers in this section and universally respected. His jovial, hearty manner, made him friends with all, and there will be many to whom the lines we now write will bring recollections of past kindness received at his hands.
