OBITUARY
MR W. O. SMELLIE (press association telegram.) DUNEDIN, November 8. The death occurred to-day o£ Mr William Orr Smellie, a former Mayor of Green Island.
A stone that has for long served as a step at the eastern entrance to the churchyard of the old Sussex town of Steyning has been found to be decorated with crude, but elaborate, carvings, and, is believed to be a menhir, or upright monumental stone, one of the few to be found in the county. It is thought possible that it was this stone that gave to Steyning its distinctive name.
