Fragmentary OCR text repeats Tuesday and Friday afternoon notices with mixed garbled names and ad listings. It references advert sections and displays misread entries about sales and legal notices but lacks clear entities or dates. The readable fragments indicate scheduled notices and advertisements with unclear descriptions.
A garbled OCR text notes a postponement affecting a university event. It mentions dates and venues with unclear details. The fragment references a delay, possibly re scheduling participants, and implies college administrators or organizers are managing the change.
The readable lines suggest a disrupted historical page with references to meetings, locations, and possible dates in April. Names and places are partially obscured, but the fragment hints at a local civic or community notice affected by OCR errors and unreadable segments.
Fire at the residence of Mr James Kearney on Fine Street Saturday evening gutted the building and contents. The Methodist Parsonage history and local residents assisted as authorities investigated fuel sources and the sequence of events while neighbors recalled lingering flames and a quick evacuation. Local driver Johnson and others aided efforts, as insurance and repairs become the community focus.
A wartime letter from Private J. A. Crowe, written from Salinity, recounts transit from Sydney to Plymouth, a move to London, and a stay in camps near Sabiabusy. He notes snow, three inches of ground, and receiving Australian papers.
Readable portions recount a traveler’s memories of France and wartime scenes. The text references weather, churches or cathedrals, stained glass, and tours of towns, interwoven with impressions of war era life and personal reflections.
Mothers make a home remedy by mixing HEAN'S ESSENCE with water and sweetening to make a pint. The ad touts no laudanum or opium and claims it cheaply replaces costly medicines sold by chemists. It warns the mixture suits coughs, whooping cough, croup, and throat issues in children.
A special court of PAL and Mr W J Dowling reviewed assetment reductions for hotels over closing hour takings. Awards included a 4 percent cut in a period before six o'clock, refunds of license fees, and several reductions in take per cent. Various hotel proprietors faced revised rates and adjustments to license and tax figures amid the Foray Court proceeding.
The judge considered the takings claim arising from daylight saving period and war effects on profits. He found the reduction in rent justified, noting the War and daylight saving caused lower takings and attributed the primary fault to Comiskey as tenant landlord disputes influenced rent levels.
Fragmented OCR text references Australian Imperial Force abroad with names and units. Likely a correspondence notice or service listing amid damaged content. The readable items mention Private Thomas, Akins, Vorsis Cavalry, and Machisve Gin Company among others, plus an unrelated ad about best suitings and pricing.
A district magistrate heard Mr C Burton's appeal against a Shire assessment. Evidence from Boyt and Officer supported costs, while Gurton contested them. The magistrate criticized his lack of knowledge on clearing costs, noting land conditions and brick carting expenses. The case highlighted valuation disputes among ratepayers and the need for informed judging.
Fragmented OCR lists a timetable with names and rites for Methodist services and holidays. The readable items mention Fortes Swyney Easter Day Forbes and Wapteen Rov with times or days, indicating a church service schedule. Names and abbreviations suggest a local parish notices page.
A historical notice announces a genuine clearing sale at Gunning Gap featuring Miles Iron Portes stock including horses and mares, cattle, tools, machinery, harness, wagons, and household goods.
