Mr. George A. Turner, headmaster of the Balclutha District High School, has been appointed headmaster of the South school, Oamaru. Mr. William N. Johnson, who recently resigned his position as Wanganui and Taranaki representative of Messrs. Abbott, Oram and Co. Wellington, after eighteen years’ service, was presented with an illuminated address signed by all members of the staff, and a piece of Doulton china, for Mrs. Johnson. The King Country Chronicle records the death at Aria on Sunday last of Mr. D. C. McDonald, who was an old identity of the King Country, known far and wide as “Killarney Mac.” He was born in Nova Scotia in 1852 and his parents settled at Waipu, North Auckland, some years later. He came to the King Country some twenty years ago, when the land was being cut up and roaded, and was exceedingly popular in the survey camps.
