Feilding

(From an occasional correspondent.) One of the next forward movements contemplated by our energetic pastor, the Rev. Father O'Meara, is the enlargement of our church, to afford accommodation for the ever-increasing congregation. I record with deep regret the death of Mrs. Shortall, wife of Mr. T. Shortall, of Colyton, which occurred on Monday, May 25. The deceased lady was an old settler in the district, much esteemed and respected by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, and a good practical Catholic. The deepest sympathy is felt for the husband and family of the deceased in their sad bereavement.— R.l. P. A want long experienced in our progressive town is I am pleased to learn to be supplied at an early date by the opening of an up-to-date private hospital Two young Catholic ladies, Nurse Webber and Nurse Sexton, both of whom gained their certificates and experience in connection with the general hospital at Wellington, have decided on practising their profession in Feildmg. Besides proving a decided acquisition to the community generally, the opening of their institution will prove a distinct boon to the town, as many cases in the past requiring careful nursing had to be sent to Palmerston North.
