How Ladysmith Got Its Name

LADYSMITH, which is just now a center of great interest in South Africa, is called after the wife of Sir Harry Smith, formerly commanding general in South Africa. She was a Spanish girl, to whom the general gave protection when he was a subaltern in the Peninsular War, and who subsequently married him. Harrismith is named after her husband.
