DEATH OF MR. THOMAS JACKSON.

A correspondent writes: - "General regret was felt when it became known that Mr Thomas Jackson of Slapdash and Stubbo, had breathed his last on Wednesday, July 17th, at 5 o'clock. Although he had been ailing for some time his end was not expected so soon. He was one of the oldest residents of Stubbo, and leaves a wife and ten children, six daughters and four sons. Deceased, at the time of his death, was 72 years of age, and his death leaves a blank that will be hard to fill. A large concourse followed the remains to the grave, his funeral being one of the largest ever seen in Gulgong, every business house being represented. Mr Jackson was well-known as a breeder of stock, and engaged largely in grazing pursuits. He was keen and shrewd in business matters, and a kind husband and father. Few men were more respected.
