Our usually quiet township was somewhat startled when it was announced last Tuesday morning that the local store had been broken into, by a square being cut out of the back door, and a miscellaneous variety of goods, to the value of about £30, taken. The articles comprise a rather varied range, including watches, knives, razors, strops, patent medicines, lollies, biscuits, clothing, hosiery, etc., etc., also about 30/- from the till. So far as to the knowledge of the man in the street, everything remains a mystery, but as the representatives of the law and order are of the proper type, no doubt there will soon be developments. r-j The weather lately has been unseasonable, some days severer than anything experienced during the winter, and consequently shearing, etc., has been^ckme under difficulties, or has had to be postponed. Indications now point to something better, when spring work can be gone on with.
