He had been in failing health for the past year. having been s:i-icken with pure?ysl.s. but was able to be up and around among his friends until about ten days previous to his death. passing of Mr. Phillips has removed from our midst one who will be greatly missed, not only in his home where he wu the joy and sunshine of the family circle. but by a. host and acquaintances throughout our fair province and elsewhere, for he was a man who was very widely known and highly esteemed. His was I friendly, ‘kind- ly nature. wherever he went there was good cheer and friendship.
