The Presbyterian Ladies’ Guild afternoon will be held at the residence of Mrs Speirs senr., Robinson Street, to-morrow. The Wavsrley Town Board ratepayers have sanctioned a loan to instal a hydro-electric lighting scheme and water and drainage for the area. A team from the local State school proceeded to Palmerston to-day, in charge of the headteacher, Mr Jackson, to compete in the schools football seven-a-side tournament.

The animal was no doubt attracted by the smell of some chemical. After a cursory glance round, the animal made a hurried exit, fortunately for her owner without doing much damage.
