CARTERTON

WEDDING HOOPER—MILLER. ("Times-Age” Special.) A wedding of considerable local interest took place recently at St. Mane’s Anglican Church, Carterton, the contracting parties being Mabel Sybil, daughter of Mrs H. C. Merwood, and the late Mr A. W. Miller, and Trevor Jack, son of Mrs and the late Mr J. T. Hooper, Carterton. The bride who was escorted by her brother, looked charming in a gown of Persian lamb satin, cut with a high neckline and full panelled skirt, which fell into a graceful train, her embroidered tulle veil being caught to her head with a coronet of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was composed of spring flowers and maidenhair fern. Miss Betty Merwood, the bride's sister, attended as bridesmaid and wore a pretty frock of blue flame shot taffeta, with matching tulle shoulder veil, caught from the crown of the head with a spray of flowers. She carried a bouquet to tone. Mr Lindsay Bicknell, of Carterton, was best man.

A reception was afterwards held in St. Mark’s Parish Hall. The guests were received by the bride’s mother who was attired in a navy costume and fur stole, with shoulder spray of red anemonies and fern. She was assisted by the bridegroom’s mother who wore a blue woollen frock and navy coat, with a shoulder spray of wallflowers and leaves in autumn shades. Later Mr and Mrs Hooper left by motor car on their honeymoon, the bride travelling in a teal frock and coat, with navy accessories. The bridegroom’s gift to his bride was a fur stole, and the bride’s gift to the bridegroom a woollen dressing gown. The bridesmaid was the recipient of a fountain pen and pencil. Mr and Mrs T. J. Hooper will take up their residence at Dalefield. Personal Items. Mr and Mrs W. Ballinger, Holloway - Jfrreet, have left for Makirikiri, Wandistrict, where they will spend a holiday. The friends of Mr and Mrs A. J. Dew, of. Wyndham Street, Carterton. will regret to learn of the death of their infant son, aged nine months, which occurred this morning.

Disease Among Dairy Herds.

Some dairy farmers in the districts around Carterton are experiencing trouble with their herds. Mamitis in some instances is causing loss, and in other cases cows which have come to profit and have been giving good supplies of milk have been later found dead from no apparent cause.

School Holidays. The term holiday of the State schools will end on Monday.

Mew Tar Spraying Plant.

The new tar spraying plant ordered by the Carterton Borough Council was delivered to the Borough yards this morning. The old plant, which was hand-manipulated, . has been in constant use by the borough employees for many years. The new plant is worked by motor, and should prove very convenient as there is a fair amount of tar sealing to be done in the borough in the coming season. Practical Training. Members of the Carterton branch of the Red Cross Society commenced a course of practical training in nursing at the Greytown Hospital this morning. School Committee. The monthly meeting of the Carterton District High School will be held on Monday night.
