FAREWELL AND PRESENTATION.

At the close of business on Tuesday last the staff of the local Post-Office met to say good-bye to one of their members, Miss Empson, who, through indifferent health, has found it necessary tossererA r er her connection with the Department. v Mr 'Chittenden, the postmaster,, on behalf of the staff, expressed the regret all felt at losing an officer of Miss Empson’s standing. 'During her stay at Te AAvamutu she had, by her never failing consideration and cheerfulness, made every officer he r friend. It Avas ever understood that the public Avas a hard taskmaster, but from Avhat one heard Miss Ehipson had not only acquitted herself well but had made many life-long friends. Though no longer with them, officers will not seen forget heir friendship and the pleasant association of past years. Balances, motor car registration, wireless' certificates, and the thousand and one things incidental to'the life of an officer of the post office will be a thing of the past for Miss Empson. Instead she Avill be balancing household matters, Avhich they hoped she Avould fir.d ju’st as interesting. In Avishing her fareAvell, her brother officers desired her to accept a small token as a parting gift with their Avarmest Avishes for her future welfare and the hope that it would serve to remind her of the happy spent together. All Avished Miss EmpsoWa speedy return to good health ahojfu full measure of happiness in her dom from official ties. Miss Empson suitably responded. The presentation consisted of a salad bow ; l and servers and fruit dish.
