He was attended by Dr. Sowerby. i It was mentioned at the last meeting of i the Borough Council that the caretaker of ' the local cemetery would welcome gifts of i flower plants and shrubs for beautifying i purposes. The caretaker has proved an ' excellent man for the position, and has even | gone to the extent of paying for plants • out of his own pocket. Anyone who can 1 spare a few plants could not do better ' than send them to the cemetery. In accordance with new railway regulaI tions, the railway yard gates will be locked | on Thursday afternoons in the future. The | new regulation, which provides for the ' locking of railway gates on the weekly • half-holiday, is to be put into force through- ! out the country. | It is noticeable that although prices are • not so good as last season, .dairy factories ; in the Stratford district, should be able to i make up profits on the extra quantity i which J.hey produce. Already two fac- ’ tones report that they are receiving more i milk than they did when in the flush of ; last season. Particulars of Mr. T. Lamason’s weekly : sale are advertised in this issue. A varied , collection of articles will be offered at the ' sale, which will start at 1.30.
