Mr C. J- Talbot left Timaru for Oamaru on Saturday. Mr IVm. Harper, who has resided in Makikihi for the last ten' years, is about to leave for Waikaka, Southland. In appreciation of the numrcous services rendered to the township, Makiluhi residents intend to make a public presentation to Ml; and Mrs Harper this evening. ' A cable message says that Mr Attwoodj managing director of the g l ®" 7 Zealand Fruitgiowers Association, visited Hull, Liverpool and ALancliestor,_ m connection witn shipments from Hew Zealand.

Mr Attwood interviews machinery and chemical manufacturers with a' now of interesting them in scouring trade witli New Zealand, which tho latter is now doing witli Amerida. —A. and N.Z. The news of tho death of Mr Robert Daniel at tho early age of 21, was received at Jiingsdown with very general regret. Mr Hamel was just beginning a very,.promising career, been educated at K.ngsdown and the Timn.nl High School. Alter being on the staff of the 'J’iniaru South School, ho entered the Christchurch Normal .school t lor further training. He had'just successfully completed that course, ahc| also gained the first section of tho' .15. A. degree. While camping out in the Lake Wakatipu district, lie - had a painful, accident from the • effects of which he never recovered. Much sympathy lias been expressed for Mr and Mrs E. H. Daniel and their family in their sad and unexpected loss. A j very pleasing little function took place on Friday afternoon, when a number of t-ue 'business men of Geraldine met at the, residence of Captain Kerr and Mrs Kerr, to wish them goodbye and a safe return on the eve of their departure for the Old Country (writes our Geraldine correspondent). After being hospitably entertained to afternoon tea, the!Mayor, Mr E. Hardcastle, expressed Ins, appreciation of Captani Kerr as a man and a citizen. Ho had identified himself .with the life of. Geraldine. They all regretted his departure, but were pleased that it would only be for a sliort period. He hoped Captain and Mrs Kerr would, have ; a pleasant journey, and a safe return to tlieir home in Geraldine. On behalf of those present ho handed Captain Iverr a small gift of a bridge set/ which would help to while away any sparo hours. Appreciative references to Captain and Mis Kerr were also made by Dr Paterson, Messrs Creemcr, McKcclinie, Steward, A. A. • Readme, Hughes,' G. Shorratt, and Gresham, to which Captain Kerr responded. He expected to ho away only a short time, and looked to coming back to Geraldine, to which he and Mrs Kerr had become very .fond, and hoped to spend many 'happy 1 years to it. The singing of ‘‘For He’s a -Tolly Good Fellow, and cheers for Captain and Mrs Kerr, concluded a very pleasant little ceremony.
