Items of Interest from Early New South Wales News
A quirky collection of local items includes a pub owner named Chicken in Orange, volcanic activity in the Mediterranean, and historical notes on New South Wales population and Molong Show. Premier Carruthers opened events, there are jokes, dances, and Euclid references, plus reports of Box Burns in America, hospital fire losses, and the first blast furnace opening at Lithgow with 300 attendees. The piece also notes municipal and governance quirks, a Ballina cheque fee dispute, and observations on jewellery trends in Sydney.
