James Walker Bain (1841 – 29 September 1899) was a 19th-century New Zealand politician. He was a significant businessman in Invercargill and Southland. Bain was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1841.[1][2] His parents were the spirit merchant John Bain and his wife, Elizabeth Middlemass.[2] He received his education at the Free Church Normal School and then at a private academy. He started with the printing company Oliver and Boyd and learned the trade of a compositor.[1][3] He arrived in Port Chalmers in New Zealand, Otago's harbour, on 23 September 1858 on the Jura from Glasgow.[4] His parents, five sisters and one brother arrived in Otago on the Gloucester three months later; one of his sisters was Wilhelmina Sherriff Bain.[2] He initially worked for the Otago Witness[1] before going to Auckland for two years.[3] He moved to Invercargill at the beginning of 1861.[1] Together with George Smallfield, he founded Invercargill's first newspaper, the Southland News and Foveaux Straits Herald, and its first edition was published on 14 February 1861.[1] The paper later became the Southland Daily News and existed until 1967, when it was bought by the rival The Southland Times.[5] Bain founded the Mataura Paper Mill in 1875.[5] He was a significant businessman in Invercargill, was president of the Southland Building Society for the first 30 years of its existence. He was a member of the Southland Education Board for many years, and was at times its chairman.[1] {{NZ parlbox header|nolist=true|align=left}}{{NZ parlbox|start = {{NZ election link year|1879}} |end = 1881 |term = 7th |electorate = {{NZ electorate link|Invercargill}} |party = Independent politician }}{{NZ parlbox footer}} He represented the Invercargill electorate in Parliament from {{NZ election link year|1879}} to 1881, when he retired.[6] He was Mayor of Invercargill in 1891–1892.[5] Bain died unexpectedly on the morning of 29 September 1899 after falling ill on 26 September.
