Connolly in making the presentations referred to the efficient and much valued services rendered to the Society by Mr Margison as accompanist and by Mr Wykes as secretary. The gift to Mr Margison was a silver teapot, and to Mr Wykes a case of pipes.
Mr J. L. Harris, who during the last two ’or three years has been in the employment of Messrs R. Coulter and Co., left Te Aroha on Monday for Papakura, where he has bought a business.
