The heavy gale that raged intermittently all day on Monday accompanied by heavy rain, hail and sleet, was responsible for considerable damage to cottage gardens and orchards. Vegetables that were not protected have been battered about as well as small fruit. St. Andrew’s Church Fair. In the Band Room, Carterton, on Friday next, a Caledonian Fair will be held under the auspices of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Luncheon, morning and afternoon tea will be provided at a moderate charge. Various stalls will be under the supervision of the ladies and will be laden with articles of produce, cakes, etc., Christmas gifts will also be available. This should afford people an opportunity to buy and hold presents till an appropriate time to send them away arrives, or purchase gifts to be sent to friends beyond Carterton. There is sure to be a large attendance and as the fair is for a good cause purchases should be numerous.
