Deapite the Inclemency of the weather,
over 400 ifrlenJ of the late Captain
James K. Campbell, gathered at the Odd
Fellows' Hall in this city on last Sunday
afternoon, to pay their lat tribute of
love and renpect to the dead manner.
The gathering wa typical of the man's
environment in life ; there were steam
hip and steamboat masters, officers and
men; pilot, from the bar, and river, snj
the olluer of their as-ociations; lum
'iw-iiuen and logger, front the offices,
plant, mill and camp of the nearby
Industrie, and hosts of bis fellow
town-men in all 'walk of life; all with
a deep and happy recollection of the
man thev honored alive, and dead. Tlie

moitr .Short read the impressive burial
ritual of the Protestant Kpi-copal church
and the nuiic of the hour was very apt,
aud beautifully rendered. At the con
clusion of the .oleum services, the great
gathering, after taking a last look at
the kindly face of the friend that waa
gone, joined in the procession that
moved to the waterfront where the
teniiu-r Melville awaited the funeral
party to convey it to Greenwood ceme
tery where co-fratcrnal honors were
paid by the lodges present; and thus
wound out a life and career that will be
long cherished iu this city and port.
