OBITUARY.

M? Alfred Harrison. [. We are sure all of our readers will I regret to learn tint Mr Alfred Harrison passed away on Saturday last at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. He had been suffering from a> painful and trying illness for some months, and had not been seen about town for a long time, bub his death was somewhat) unexpect ed by his fellow cit zsns. Mr Harrison wai born in London In 1845, and went to Canada when quite a youth. Some years later he came to Dunedin, and entered the effioo of Messrs P Hayraan & Cot He married Mies Watt, a lady who has during her residence iv Ashburton earned the respect and good will of every citizen of the borough. la 1878 he came to Ashburton and commended business on his own account, as auctioneer valuator, and commission agent, He prospered in hia uotertaking and was enabled to retire about four years ago handing over his business to Mr Henry Stephenson, who had been ia his employ from boyhood, Mr Harrison's genial manner and racy humour made him very popular as an auctioneer, and we have no doubt) that many farmers and their wives who may read these lines, wil! be able to call to mind smart chaffing matches they have witne*Bed in the Havelock Street Auction Mart* Mr Harri son's public career reflected greao credit upon him. He first entered the Borough Counoil in 1880, and eat .continuously as a Counoilior until 1887, when ha was eieoted Mayor. At every election he headed the poll, a tribute to the estimation in whioh he was held by hia fellow citizens. This speaks volumes for him. Indeed, we are inclined to think this is a record in losal government elections. In 1886, Mr Harrison contested the mayoralty with Mr Joseph Scaly, being defeated by cn@ vote, but be turned the tables-next year, beating the same opponent by two votes, another reoord in the same onneotlon. After his year of office had expired, Mr Harrison rested on his laurel®, and did not again offer his services to the ratepayers of the Borough, a decision greatly regretted by many. Mr Harrifeon was distinctly progressive, and to hid energy and perseverance the Swimming Club was indebted for its ex'stenoe, as he «aB practically its founder. As long us he was able to take an active part, ia its nr-nage* meat he was always chosen as it a C*p'»in, and it is a significant faob that) very shortly after he retired from any share in its management, It collapsed. la musical matters, Mr Harrison for years oocupied a very prominent position. He waa the founder and first conductor of the Aahburton Orchestral Society, and we flad hia name in the reports of almosb all the Amateur concerts that were held in the eighties. In fact, Mr Harrieoa waa * good citizan, and those who were associated with him when he was in the prims of his healthand the midst of his usefulness, know that this town has to mourn the loss of a thoroughly goo 1 citizen. It is almost needless to any that Mrs Harrison and family have the sincere and respectful sympathy of a'l the people of Aehbarton and of a great proportion of the farming community. The funnral, whioh takes place tomorrow (Tuesday), ab 2.30, wil', without doub*, be very largely attended The special general meeting of the Ash burton Musical Union, called for tomorrow night, has been postponed until Wednesday night, out of respect to the lite Me Alfred Harrison.
