GREYTOWN NEWS.
From Our Resident Reporter. January 6th. - There died on Wednesday evening another very old Greytown settler, in the person of Mr Andrew Young, who came to Greytown 40 years ago where he started a tailoring business and which he carried on until about six years ago, when .he retired through ill-health. He has been sn invalid ever since he arrived in the colonies in the early sixties, and was in the employ of Mr Tanner, tailor, in Willis Street, prior to his coming to the Wairarapa. He has a brother, Mr Robert Young, in Carterton, and he leaves a wife to mourn his loss. Owing to the Mayor not proclaiming Monday a public holiday, all the business premises had to close to-day. To show the value of River flats, a party of Chinese are leasing some eight or nine acres down the Lower Valley, for which I am told they are paying a rental of £6 per acre for the purpose of market gardening, and are sending most of their produce to the Wellington market.
