LATE LOCALS.

The death took place at Westport yesterday of Mrs M. Moye, of Ross, a well-known resident for many years. The remains are being brought to Ross, where requiem Mass will be celebrated to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock, the funeral taking place to Ross cemetery at 9.45 o’clock. The marriage was celebrated at St. Mary’s Church, Hokitika, this morning by the Rev. Father who celebrated nuptial Mass, when Mr Thomas Fyron, second son of Mrs Fyron, of Waimangaroa, near Westport, was united to Miss Maud Moynilian, youngest daughter of the late Mrs Moynilian, of Kokatalii. The wedding breakfast was held at Kokatahi, the happy couple leaving for Christchurch this afternoon on their honeymoon. Reporting on the Discharged. Soldiers’ settlement, on the West Coast, W. T. Morpeth, Commissioner of Crown Lands, at Hokitika, states: “Almest without exception the dis-chaVged-soldier settlers in /this district are firmly established. The settlers have come to realise that the advice of the Field Inspectors in the matter of herd-testing and top-dress-ing is sound, and by a genuine endeavour to keep abreast of the times and profit by the experience of others, combined with the exceptionally favourable spring and summer, they are in a fair way to be coining established on the land, -with an assured future.”
