Death of Mr. John McPhail
Another well-known and respected representative of "old timer" has gone to his long home. Mr. John McPhail died at 5 o'clock yesterday morning. He has been a resident in Jamaica for over half a century. He settled first in Spanish Town and was clerk to Messrs. Spalding and Friend. His industry and ability procured him a partnership. Subsequently he bought out his partners and carried on the business for some years successfully on his own account. He, however, forsook commerce for agriculture, and was for years overseer of New Works Estate, St. Thomas ye Vale. He then became Attorney for that estate and for Wallens, to which was afterwards attached the Attorneyship of Rose Hall. He was appointed Manager of Angel Pen in St. Catherine and then purchased Tulloch estate and Knollis, to which latter he soon added Newhall estate by purchase. He became the owner of Rose Hall afterwards and presented that property to his daughter. Mr. McPhail was appointed to the Magisterial bench many years ago. He however declined the representation of his parish in the old House of Assembly. The deceased gentleman was much respected and his loss is deeply mourned by a large family and an extensive circle of friends.

Mr. Morris' Successor
Mr. Fawcett, who has received the appointment of Director of Public Gardens and Plantations in succession to Mr. D. Morris, seems to be little known at home. He has hitherto been employed in the Natural History department of the British Museum, and his knowledge therefore is likely to be little else than theoretical. Of the practical management of tropical plantations, it is almost impossible that he can have any knowledge. It seems Mr. Fawcett is well thought of in official circles and much is expected of him. But is he coming to Jamaica to "try his 'prentice hand" at a handsome salary?

Circulars will be issued inviting the formation of committees in each parish of the Island, and subscriptions will be received by Parochial Treasurers and the Colonial Bank.
