Mr Michael Kett, who for many years kept the^ Royal Hotel, Milton, died at Invcreargill on Thursday morning. He left his native land (Ireland) when quite a boy, and turned his attention to Victoria, where he engaged in gold mining with conspicuous success. Later on he decided to try his luck in New Zraland. Working on the Otago goldfields, he originally owned the celebrated Frenchman's Point claim near Alexandra. Here, as on the other side, fortune again favoured him. Tired of the rongh life of the early miner, he took an liotel at Palmerston. and since then he has kept hotels in Milton, Mataura, and Invercargill.

Many leaders of this column (writes the Auckland correspondent of tbo Dai'y Timei) will have heard with regret of the- sad ('ea.th of Mr G. M. Main, the "father"' of the newspaper press of Auckland and one of the oHo3t 'of Now Zealand's journalists. There ■was no man in Auckland better known or more widely respected than George Main, and it can be safely eaid that there is no man living who had 6uch an intimate knowledge of Auckland, its history, ard its people. As a journalist Mr Main was known from end to end of the colony. He was for many years correspondent to the Otago •Daily Times, and only severed his connection with the paper come six months ago, •when his health prevented him from continuing hie active journalistic work. Always « passionate- worker, he had suffered from dntonso depression since his health compelled him to give up active work, and though his connection with the New Zealand Herald was continued to the end, his inability to contribute* to its columns helped to inten c ify the derrossion of spirit which was cadly evident to all who knew him in •tho latter months of his life His death Ly his own hand caused a greater shock in Auckland than any event of recent years. Journalists especially had reason to regret his death. A kindly man always, he never missed an opportunity to help a young journalist, and no member of the profes6ion visiting Auckland, whatever his mission, ever met with a cold reception from George Main.
