The Longburn stall at All Saints’ Spring Fair was splendidly managed by the members of tho Ladies’ Guild and to them is due the great success tho stall’s effort proved to be. Mr W. Johansen, of the station staff, is spending his annual leave in Auckland. Mrs Bannister, of No. 1 Line, has been very ill and her many friends will be pleased to hear that her condition has improved a little the last few days.
