Death of Mr. T. HOWOOD

Re regretfully note the death of Mr. Thomas HORWOOD, father of Chief Justice HORWOOD, which occurred at his country residence on Thursday morning. For some time he had been unwell, and his demise was not unexpected. The deceased gentleman was one of our best known and most highly respected citizens. Quiet, courteous and unassuming, gentlemanly to a degree, he possessed those qualities, which attracted people to him, and endeared him to everybody who made his acquaintance. Mrs. HORWOOD, and beside the Chief Justice, three children - one son and two daughters - survive him.....

Botwoodville

Oct 8^th - The Opposition Candidates, Messrs. MORISON and GOODRIDGE and MEWS, visited the place on Wednesday. They came by way of Norris Arm, the Exploits River Lumber and Pulp Company kindly giving them the use of their steamer. They had a reception that must have been very gratifying to them, flags were flying on every staff in Botwoodville, and fifty men met them, many of them with guns, the firing of which they kept up for two hours. During the afternoon the candidates visited the different arms and at eight o'clock commenced one of the largest public meetings ever held here which came to a successful close at a quarter to eleven. They left next morning in the Company's steamer for Kite Cove and Exploits. There was no black flag on the mill and I would not stop to contradict such contemptible statements only to vindicate the officials of the Exploits River Lumber and Pulp Company who are all US citizens are positively neutral so far as politics goes in this country.
