A distorted page from a colonial era publication cites subscription prices and advertising rates. The text references weekly issues, back advertising, and three insertions for a set rate, indicating a local newspaper’s publishing costs.
Fragmentary text lists numerous names and places in a garbled directory style. Readers may recognize individuals and street references such as Monare street, Woodger Bras, and Stems street, but most items are indecipherable remnants of an old THrectory page.
The Leader is posted in Queanbeyan every Monday and Thursday evening and should be delivered by all outgoing mails on Tuesdays and Fridays. Subscribers are urged to note alterations to the Stamling Advertisements and to report non delivery to the office.
Scattered passages describe battles and casualties with unclear names and places. Reports mention Japanese forces, unspecified retreats, and ministerial actions, plus chaotic notes on elections, fires, and unrelated events across multiple locales.
An eclectic sample discusses Labor Party strategy and retirement rumors involving George Redd, along with notes from a Workers Standpoint article and a social column snippet. The piece hints at editorial humor and social commentary from London to the south, with fragmented reflections on appearance and propriety.
The court heard that Goulburn man attempted to travel to Sydney on a counterfeit or misissued ticket. He was fined £20 for contravening by laws and, earlier, £1 at Queanbeyan for riding under a railway carriage seat, with two months hard labor imposed.
The death of Dorothy Hollingsworth, daughter of Mr and Mrs L Hollingsworth of Wargeila, is reported as a very sad bereavement at age one.
