Grey mouth

(From our own correspondent.) November 30. The Rev. Father McDonnell, S.M., of Taradale, Hawke’s Bay, paid a brief visit to his native town last week, and received a hearty welcome from his many friends. The Rev. Fathers O’Driscoll and Coiiender, of Sydney, are at present visiting the Coast. They intend going south to Hokitika, where Father Coiiender has relatives residing. 1 regret to have to record the death of Mr. James Linn, one of our most respected parishioners. Deceased was 49 years of age, and a native of Limerick. For many years he successfully conducted a livery stable here, until a few years ago, when he was appointed custodian of the Municipal Chambers, the duties of which he faithfully discharged till his death. To his sorrowing widow the sympathy of all the parishioners is extended.R.l.P. A concert was held at Brunuerton on Monday evening for the purpose of raising funds for church repairs. A splendid programme was submitted, several prominent performers journeying from Greymoutli to give assistance. The concert was a great success financially, the proceeds, together with a sum already subscribed, enabling the necessary repairs to be carried out immediately. The local clergy desire to thank all those who in any way contributed towards the success of the entertainment. A very sad death occurred here last Sunday, when Mr. John Frank, only son of Mr. George Frank, passed away. Deceased, who was only 24 years of age, had received a very slight skin abrasion, which developed into bloodpoisoning, which proved fatal. The funeral, which took place on Tuesday, was one of the largest and most representative seen here for some time. Very Rev. Dean Carew conducted the services at the church and graveside. The greatest sympathy is felt for the bereaved parents in their sad loss. —R.I.P.
