Also to convey to Mr. and Mrs. Cameron the ■hearty, good wishes of the people of Tarata ifor their success and happiness in their future career. Mr. Rice carried out his duty, and in the course of his speech remarked that Mrs. Cameron had time after time contributed the music for dances and parties in the Hall, never seeming to tire, and never asking or getting remuneration for the trouble she had taken to give pleasure to her friends and neighbors. Mr. Cameron, too, nad aided the social life of, the district with his great musical ability. So that so'cially this district was sustaining a great loss by the change.
