PERSONAL.
Mr. J. M. Nicholson, who for a numiher of years was rector of the Balclutha District High School, and is at present headmaster of the Mornington School, has received an appointment as inspector under the Education Department.
Mr. C. E. Major, ex-M.P. for* Patea, who contested the Manukau seat last election against Sir F. W. Lang, Speaker of the House of Representatives, has been approached to again contest the seat as a Liberal and Labor candidate. It is probable (says the Waikato Times) that he will consent.
Another of New Zealand’s early settlers passed away at Dunedin last week in the person of Mr. G. S. Matheson, at the age of 83. The deceased arrived in New Zealand in the latter ’fifties with his parents and other members of the family, settling at Tokomairiro. He followed up the gold rushes at Gabriel’s Gully and on the West Coast, and served during the Maori War as a member of the Armed Constabulary Forces. All four sons enlisted during the great war, two paying the supreme sacrifice.
