PERSONAL.

Mr W. Graham is reported to be improving. Serpt.-Major Coakley is reported to be a little better to-day. It is pleasing to report that Dr. Fraserhurst is getting better and .he hopes to be about again next week. Mr W. Murphy, of Kamo, has received a telegram stating that his son Private Trevor Murphy! was wounded for the second time on October 23rd. It is rather a coincidence that the young soldier received his first wound in the same month last year. Pte. Murphy is 26 years of age and left with the 22nd Reinforcements. ' The death took place at 11 a.m. today at the Whangarei Hospital of Mr Alex Hoey, of Puwera, who had been to camp in Trentham and Featherston, and was sent back as physically unfit, having lost 351bs in weight during his camp training. He had been in hospital for nearly a fortnight. Since tho age of seven he had lived with his brother, Mr Day Hoey, at Puwera, and was 33 years of age. He was prominent in athletics generally, and held a number of medals and bracelets awarded for his wins. The deceased gentleman was always held in popular esteem, and his demise will be regretted by a very wide circle of friends. The interment will take place in the old Mission cemetery, alongside his father and mother's graves, on Monday, the funeral cortege leaving- the hospital at 2 p.m. Nazol for Influenza and Catarrh.
