| Transciption: | The Late Mr. Simmons.
Our obituary this week contains the announcement of the death of this gentleman who died Thursday evening last, after a short illness.
As tradesman, Mr. Simmons was well-known and highly respected; his death has cast a gloom over the parish in which he lived. He was a member of the Town Council, charity trustee, one of the committee and treasurer of the horticultural society of which he was a great supporter.
Mr. Simmons has filled several other offices connected with the borough, and his loss will be much felt.
