Ostrich fever and political critique in Adelaide notes
A letter argues for domestic ostrich farming to boost incomes, citing London sales and African imports, while critiquing Premier Verran’s policy and urging rail improvements. It laments design flaws in a North Terrace building, mockingly questions a lift, comments on cost of living, and recalls a family’s frugal past compared to modern excesses.

Port Wakefield Notes Show Roads Clean and Growth Prospects
Port Wakefield presents clean roads with shelly footpaths solving mud issues. A new footpath from the south-eastern approach is finished, with town works supervised by Town Clerk Mr. T. McCabe.

The police station site shows damp old walls, while surrounding life includes dances, tennis and croquet club meetings, travel plans for Dr. H. Loveday, and a busy social calendar with fundraisers.
