Lavery are on annual leave, Mr Brown filling Mr Lavery’s position on the railway staff. Mr and Mrs N. N. Griffin, Clinton, were week-end visitors to the district and were the guests of Mr and Mrs M. Windle.
Mr J. L. Macpherson is spending his annual leave with his parents. Mr and Mrs J. C. Macpherson.
Exceptionally warm, dry weather is being experienced and a good soaking rain would be welcome. The threshing of grass-seed is almost completed and with the advanced prices makes a brighter outlook for the farmers.
