Cats Attack Cattle Plague Reaches Elliott District
Darwin correspondent reports hordes of hungry cats roaming the Elliott district attacking drought-weakened cattle and raiding fowl runs. Hundreds occupy Elliott township and stalk waterholes, with starving cats from King’s Plains in the Nor'-west. A bullock and ten sheep have been kept to a pasture since April as rats previously caused fires across Tablelands.

Reverence and Knowledge from a Methodist Address
Church notes recap Dr Tollis last Sunday on reverence and knowledge.
