A garbled assemblage of notices from a Victorian era issue, including travel plans, church listings, a Royal Hotel engagement, rabbit meat market prices, and wire-osting price circulars. It references Rev Crone, Mr Basor, Mr A Banaw, local auctions, and various municipal dates around July and May, with scattered vendor names and commodity prices.
A solicitor announces the probate process for the will of Mr W A Rogers in Cerooar Anctian to-morrow.

The obituary records the death of Mrs Thomas Lowe of Hilbury at about 60. The funeral, held Wednesday at St Catoar District Hospital and St Peal’s church Hogland, drew many relatives and friends.

An inquiry opened after a fatal accident at Stanfield siding Sunday night where a bucket used to soak a room caught fire.

An investigation was ordered to determine if safety lapses caused the death.

The week’s picture entertainment at the hospital features a Harold Davis program with a mix of drama and comedy.

The weather hindered but did not dampen attendance and the usual comics will remain strong.
