WILD BUSH NOTES.

(Own Correspondent.) The warm, damp weather, which is beneficial for grass and' turnips is hindering the harvest work. The long vegetation amongst the crop is kept constantly damp, and it is a difficult matter to get the last of the cutting finished. The greater part of the crop, however, is in the stock, and fal few windy days would be welcome at the , present time. The crops are enjeptionally heavy this year, which makes it ‘ all the more difficult to harvest.

The turnips are very good here, and the last ‘few days of rain has freshened them up wonderfully. Mr T. Molloy has a paddock of swedes which would be hard to beat, but this is not out of’ flie usual, as everything is of the best in this locality. Mr Hill, senr., who intends to retire, is building a fine new residence on his property, which in a month or two will be an ornament to the district. Mr Hill, who is Assisted by Mr Alderson, had the misfortune to fall from the building on Monday, and hurt himself rather severely. His neighbours are pleased to hear that he is improving steadily. A wedding of more than local interest took place in the Riverton Presbyterian Church on Wednesday, the contracting parties being Miss Meta Humphries, eldest daughter of the late Mr and Mrs ’George Humphries and Mr Alex. Kelly, eldest son of Mr 0. Kelly, an old and very highly respected resident of the district. The officiating minister was the Rev. 0. A. Gray. As this will possibly be the last letter from the writer from this locality an opportunity will he taken here of publicly thanking the Wild Bush, Gummics Bush, and Riverton residents for exceptional kindness shown during the last few months, and particularly Mr and Mrs Carroll, Police officer, Riverton, who are both the essence of kindness, and the writer hopes at- some future time to have the opportunity of doing them a. good turn.

A little word in kindness spoken A motion nr a tear, Has often healed) the heart that’s broken, And made a friend sincere.
