UNUSUAL FROST A frost was again recorded at Gore yesterday morning when the most unusual visitation this winter was experienced. The roads and footpaths were covered with a thick deposit of rime, and at first sight it looked as though a light snowfall had taken place. The visitation was not a very severe one, however, only 7'/2 degrees being recorded at the Gorton street station and five at East Gore. PERSONAL.—Dr J. J. Gresham and Mrs Gresham, who are leaving Gore for Auckland, were bidden farewell by members of the Gore Methodist Church at the end of the evening service on Sunday. The Rev. J.
