DIPTON NOTES.
(From our own correspondent.)
We are having first-class weather. Spring is advancing fast, and some of the favoured nooks are showing the grass green. Yesterday I saw a score of lambs frisking about in a paddock. Arbour Day has come and gone. Some of our school committee do not appreciate Arbor Day, They are afraid they will be doing too much for the Education Board instead of themselves. A number of the church committee turned oilt, and under the supervision of Mr O’Brien, of: the Winton Nursery, planted a goodly number of fruit and forest trees around the manse, which in time will beautify the grounds. On the 24th ult. Mr Braik examined the Riverside school, and, I believe, was well pleased with the results. This is very creditable, seeing that a number of the scholars were in attendance very little over half-time, through bad roads and other causes, which the teacher (Miss J. J. Christie) has to contend with.
