Wellington District Defends Rail Line and Wheat Flow
The letter war over the new Molong and Dubbo railway lines continues as Wellington residents rebut the Dispatch writer. Arguments claim wheat delivery remains robust with 2000 bags daily to silos and mills, while rail services shift but do not erase Wellington's economic standing. The piece defends local population figures and notes strong motor traffic as further proof of Wellington’s ongoing vitality.

Glint of gold amid odd regional snippets in rural tale
A jagged OCR mosaic from a rural newspaper presents odd items from Bathurst and Maitland regions. It mentions a Bathurst woman reportedly finding pure gold worth 16 shillings, a long unpaid debt from 45 years earlier, a humorous note about a spelling error, and a near-miss with lightning on a Northern district home. A man gored by a bull in Orange ends up in hospital with broken ribs and head injuries after attempting to drive the animal from a dairy allotment.
