August 18. x - Sickness is rather prevalent in the White Stone City at present and colds are quite the order of the day. Our popular Catholic dentist, hfr. Michael Hannon, is now recovering after an operation for that nasty complaint, appendicitis. His condition gave his many friends a. good deal of alarm for several days, but he is>now doing quite nicely. Mr. J. Corcoran' is also a patient at Nurse Strouach’s Private Hospital,' and is progressing favorably after his operation. A quiet but pretty wedding was celebrated at St. . Patrick’s Basilica on Tuesday, the 12th inst., the contracting parties being Miss Mary Crowley, and Mr. Henry Diver, both of Eden Street. Father Foley officiated. The bride, Miss Crowley, who has been a most exemplary member of the Children of Mary for a number of- years, has the best wishes of the sodality for her future happiness. Miss Barry, of Invercargill, and Miss Braidwood, of Greymouth, have taken up duties as supervisors in the local telephone exchange.
