REEFTON

(From our own correspondent.) A public meeting was held in the Inangahua County Council Chambers on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of making arrangements for the entertainment of the night Hon. R. J. Seddon and party on the occasion of his proposed visit to open the Inangahua railway bridge. Messrs. W. J. Morris, and J. Patterson were appointed joint secretaries.

'A very old and respected resident, in the person of Mr. John Harold, general merchant, died on Saturday, the funeral taking place on (Monday. Rev. Father Gallais celebrated a Requiem Mass, and also officiated at the graveside.—R.l.P.- * Notwithstanding the unseasonable weather there was a large attendance at the last night of the bazaar, which, on the whole, was very successful. Among those who deserved -special praise for their work in connection with the undertaking (says the ' Inangahua Times ') are Messrs. W. J. Morris and J. Fama, the joint secretaries. Mr. Seawright also worked hard, while Mx. Hoffrneister, in charge of the bazaar telegraph, was responsible for a lot of amusement, while the ladies ot the committee also worked arduously. Rev. Father Gallais and his energetic committee have to be congratulated on their efforts which we understand have resulted in the affair being financially the most successful ever held in Reefton.
