He was a quiet, unassuming citizen, of studious habits, and was a good classical scholar. He took a deep interest in everything appertaining to the welfare of the Church. and was always found where good and charitable works were being carried out. He was secretary for many years of the Catholic Literary Society, the Hibernian Society, the Irish Athletic Society, and the Bootmakers' S ni *2", !*& Mclntyre was one of the pioneers of the Southland Trades and Labor Council, and held the position of treasurer till his demise. Very Rev Dean Burke officiated at the funeral.— H.l.P. The erection of a new Catholic church at Otautau is to be commenced very soon. The new building will, when completed, be an ornament to the town. Readers in country districts will do well to guard against stock being allowed to feed where ragwort has put in an appearance. It is not generally known that cattle are liable to become affected as well as horses. Mr. Scott, of Merrivale, near Otautau, recently lost 23 cows through ragwort. About Winton horses are dying every week, so there is good reason for dreading it.
