I Says the "Te Puke Times" :An impor- ■ L. tant sale of property in this district is Mr Ivo Carr having disposed of his Paengaroa property of 700 acres and has Rotoiti property of 283 acres, together with the stock, to Mr. Van Asch, of Wanganui.

His departure from Paengaroa will be keenly regretted, for he has made his mark as one of the most enterprising and progressive settlers in the district. Not only has he been responsible for introducing highclass stock from elsewhere, but he has been one of the foremost in initiating movements with the object of pushing the district ahead. The funeral of the late Mr. H. J. Turner took place yesterday, and ample testimony to the respect in which he had been held during his lifetime was manifested in the large cortege. The ■members of the Masonic Lodges, Moutoa (of which the late Mr Turner had been a member), Tongariro, and StAndrew Kilwinning, all of which were largely represented, preceded the carriage carrying the casket. Behind were a large number of friends. At the graveside the scene was solemn and touching. The Rev. H. Reeve conducted t the first portion of the burial service, to the rites of the Church of England. Bro. D. D. Calder read the spiritual portion of the Masonic service, and the prayers. Wor.Bro. D. Munro, W.M., Moutoa Lodge, was m Charge of the Masonic solemnities, while the Director of Ceremonies was Wor.Bro. G. Bullock. Wor.Bro. C. H. Bowater and Wor.Bro. N. Svenson assisted During the service the concourse sang "O God, our help in ages past.' The lambskin apron, the emblem of innocence, and the sprig of acacia, the emblem of immortality, were dropped' into the grave, in accordance with the ancient custom. The obsequies concluded with the singing of the hymn "Abide with me," and the Masonic Benediction by the Chaplain.
