LAKE FORSYTH. This lake is higher now than it has been for the past three years. An old fashioned southerly buster would send the water over the main road. The lake is now on a level with the race-course. A CHEAPER LOAF. One of our local butchers, Mr W. Davidson, has commenced selling bread, and has lowered the price one penny per loaf.
