The many friends of Mr Jack McKenzie, who has been laid aside with illness for some time, were pleased to see him at the show in Carterton yesterday. The death occurred at the Masterton Hospital on Wednesday of an old identity now familiarly known by her first married name, Mrs Humphreys. Deceased was an old resident of the Wairarapa having resided at Greytown and since her first husband’s death, at Carterton. She had been married three times, twice to Natives, and leaves a grownup family of girls and boys by her first marriage. The funeral took place at Clareville Cemetery today. Deceased was over 70 years of age. Church Service. Church of England Service will be held at Longbush on Sunday. Holy Communion will be-celebrated by the minister, the Rev W. F. Stent. The Rev W. J. Couling will take for the subject of his address at the Presbyterian Church tomorrow morning "Knowing the Name” and in the evening “A Sermon from the Showground.” Change in Weather. The Wairarapa P. and A. Society were lucky in regard to the weather for the show, for early this morning a cold southerly set in, bringing with it sleet and hail, the result of which is noticeable on the high country, where a fresh coating of snow has been added to that already on the ranges. Rain is badly needed but the cold weather is not welcomed by farmers, whose dairy stock will doubtless show a further diminishing supply in milk. More frosts can be looked forward to, and it would seem that gardeners are never really free from some pest or unfavourable element. ____________
