CARTERTON NEWS.

(From Our Resident Reporter). Monday. The annual concert under the auspices of St. Mark's Sunday School took place this evening, when there was a very fair audience. A splendid programme was rendered, and reflected credit upon the promoters, especially the superintendent, Mrs J. H. Wakelm. During the evening, Mrs Wakelin was the recipient of a handsome oak tray„ as a memento upon having completed 25 years' service in the school as a teacher. An inscription on the tray read::—"Presented to Mrs J. H. Wakelin,. Superintendent, by the parents and teachers of St. Mark's Sunday School, Carterton, on the occasion of having completed 25 years' service as a teacher." Mr R. Hopwood,. at |one time a resident of Carterton,, and nowj nf Taihape, is at present on a visit to this town. Mr and Mrs S. Hart, one of the few remaining pioneer families of the Wairarapa, celetrate their diamond wedding on Sunday, September 12th.
