On the 30th Thomas Powell senior reported a break in at his Booth home. Two purses worth £2 15s and a pair of trousers were stolen. A worker later admitted hiding the items in a bag of peas and trousers behind it. He was arrested and taken to Traralgon jail pending charges.
New state bill provisions circulated empower the Governor to direct the Minister to instruct municipal councils to fund fencing for landowners. Councils pay 10 percent cash deposit, with the rest in instalments plus interest, secured by municipal or government guarantees. The measure allows mortgage options on unused land to cover advances and requires repayment terms with penalties for default.
Rainfall figures for September appear alongside a chaotic list of sales and livestock details. The page mentions dairy stock, horses, cattle, and farm implements offered by W Christensen & Co Athiesun & Davis with J English, including a dairy herd, cows, springers, yearlings, draught horses, harness, ploughs, cream cans, and a house and outbuildings for sale. A Melbourne-bound note indicates trains and lunch, with skating price reductions and Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy endorsements threaded through the same segment.
An extended catalog of goods and livestock outlines a clearing sale with kitchenware, furniture, beds, vanities, and assorted chattels. The notice lists cattle, horses, pigs, and store pigs with sale dates in October, urging buyers and vendors to attend and noting extended bidding sessions and auction terms.
