Sidney Smith Dead.
Sidney Smith, of Canton Bend, is dead, his death occurred on Thursday 
night of heart failure, Mr. Smith was a farmer, and a man liked by 
everybody, big hearted and generous to a fault, he was one of natures 
children; when not engaged in his farm, he took dogs and went to the 
woods for enjoyment and past time, he was a Justice of the Peace in 
that Beat and many frive'ous cases was thrown out of his court, and 
good advice administered to the contending parties, and his visits to 
Camden was on an average of twice a year, to bring his docket to the 
Grand Jury. We deeply sympathize with his brothers and his relatives 
and friends generally for in his death that neighborhood loses a good 
man, he was a good neighbor, and a true friend, and one who did his 
duty as a citizen as he thought right, and could not be moved from his 
position, unless facts was put before him showing him that he was 
mistaken. What he did in his own way for charity, was never known, he 
did not claim that he was lending it to the Lord, with the expectation 
of future reward, but from pure generosity coming from the heart of a 
good man and without ostentation.
