We are pleased to leam that Mr George Currie of Mr James Watt's staff, has received an appointment in the office of Mr J. B. Boy, a well-known solicitor at New Plymouth. Mr Currie is a Wanganui boy, and was educated at the Collegiate School, where he gained two scholarships and passed the solicitor's and barrister's general knowledge examinations. On leaving school he joined Mr James Watt, and while with him passed his solicitor's examination. In social and athletic, circles generally Mr Currie will be greatly missed. He is a prominent member of the W.C.S. Old Boys Association, ? id has always taken a keen interest in all matters in connection w :th the Association. In him the Wanganui Cricket Club foses ai enthusiastic player and an energetic and capable secretary, whose place it will be hard to fill. Mr Currie is also secretary to the Alexandra Mounted Rifles, who will be sorry to lose his services. By his departure Christ Church choir will lose a valued member. While with Mr Currie's many friends we regret that he is leaving Wanganui, we join with them in wishing him every success in the future.— Chronicle.
