WHAT THE MAN AT THE CORNER SAYS:

That although weather conditions were threatening over the weekend the prolonged dry spell has not been broken. That fruit trees are showing the effects of drought conditions, particularly apples in the Dumbarton and Ettrick districts. In some parts even although the cultivation of the ground leaves nothing to be desired, the foliage is drying up and the growth of the fruit is at a standstill. That blackberries are plentiful in the district and quite a few housewives have been making jam. That Alfie’s party was a huge success. That the Mayor of Upper Coal Creek conferred upon him’ the freedom of the mayoralty. That many people were startled at the sound of the firebell last week. That more than ordinary care should be taken with fire whilst the grass is so dry. That at the bowling match held in Roxburgh on Saturday Clyde was 2 up and 1 down and Alexandra was 1 down. That Roxburgh was two rinks up and two rinks down. That a Roxburgh rink is going to the Kaitangata tournament on Saturday.
