King of Sweden dead and strange tally of local items
The issue catalogs a wide mix of items from a royal death in Sweden to local notes in Walgett and Gilgandra. It mentions arrests for rate arrears, a new hairdresser in DelLacy’s buildings, a large wool yield at Tenandra Station, and a fatal colliery explosion in West Virginia. It also notes a horse reward, land and taxation matters, and oddball curiosities such as a drawing coincidence and catalog promotions.
