Mr Craighead was a well-known citizen and had been engaged in business in Carrington for many years, until a few months since, when his health failed and he retired. We have known the deceased for many years an always found him a gentleman and good business man. His sudden death will be regretted by his many friends.

He leaves a wife, three sons and one daughter to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and indulgent father. His burial will take place this Monday morning at Auxvasse, under the control of the Masonic fraternity, of which he was a prominent member
