—I. Chalmers, photo. PICNICKING AT EIGHTY. A worthy couple, Mr and Mrs Tanner, of Wakari, are here shown with their friends enjoying a picnic in the Upper Leith Va'ley on New Year's Day. Mrs Tanner has been a resident of Wak*ri district for about 45 years, and is the oldest resident of the locality, having recently celebrated her 80th birthday. Despite her years Mrs Tanner retains her strength — an inheritance from her Scotch ancestry — in a wonderful manner, and still makes her weekly visit to town. Mr Tanner has a long record of pioneering work to his credit, and the stirring tales of his adventures as sailor, gold-digger, explorer, surveyor, etc., are the delight of a large circle of youthful friends.
