Our Oturehua correspondent writes—A social and dance was held in the hall last Friday evening to bid farewell to Mr Dickinson on the eve of his departure from the district- Although it was a severely cold night a good crowd turned out and this alone showed the popularity and respect in which the guest was held. Many speakers expressed their regret at his departin'’, and also referred in complimentary terms to the fine example he had set the school children whom he taught so successfully, and the footballers with whom he had played- The people of the district presented Mr Dickinson with a travelling rug, and the footballers gave him a gold-mounted writing outfit. The guest of the evening and Mrs Hayes very kindly rendered a song each, materially adding to the evening’s enjoyment. After supper was banded round dancing was carried on until midnight when the singing of “Auld Lang Syne” brought a successtul evening to a close.
