The fanners in (lie district, after repeated attempts, managed to ,'.;et in their crops, and considering (lie weather that has prevailed for sometime, a fairly .",ood harvest lias been the result. Cood hush burns have also been the order o\' the day, and all that is now wanted is a decent downfall o( rain to bnnj; on the ;;rass and turnips, and gladden the heart of the "Cockatoo."
Mr K. J. Karly, Road Inspector, has (after a brief sojourn with us) been transferred lo the Ohura district.
