Mr Stewart Sergeant, who was for many years a storekeeper at Midhirst and well known* in the district, was accidentally killed on Saturday at Te Puke, Bay of Plenty. Mr M. T. Phillips, of Skinner Road, received a wire stating the bare information. Deceased’s wife predeceased him by a few years.

The funeral of the late • Wilfred Arundel James, who lost his life at Tariki under such tragic circumstances was held on Sunday (states the correspondent of the Herald), when the attendance of practically the whole of the local residents and many from the surrounding districts testified to the deep ami "widespread sympathy felt for the parents and relatives of the boy. The procession, consisting of forty vehicles, besides horsemen, left Tariki about noon on it's way to the Inglewood cemetery, where the interment took place. The service was taken by the Rev. Kempthorne, who added a short address at the conclusion. The boy, who was cadet in the post office, had many sterling qualities, which made him not only a favorite amongst - his companions, but also endeared him to his elders. Very few but had a soft corner in their breasts for little “Qinty,” and many instances of his generosity and kindness of heart, especially to the little ones, could be recorded. The hearers (former school mates), were A . Hucker, E. Lawrence, C. Hollis, A. Langman, A. Therkleson and J. Stephenson, and there was a largo number of beautiful floral tributes of sympathy.
