A highly fragmentary column rails about rain, road conditions, and authorities. It rails against tolls, unemployment, and bureaucrats, with jabs at politicians and references to Hoban and other figures. The text wanders through social critique, road safety, and public works with a stream of sharp, if garbled, observations.
A garbled 18th or 19th century remedy advertisement cites Hvervano as a pullable remedy for bowel trouble and diarrhea. It mentions vendors like W. Moray and Chapmen Wingham, and warns of attacks and cases not to be feared.
In Hyde, a local showman known as Gyp Jonion, aging 36 years, faced a charge after a sensational incident at the Hawkesbury Show. Witnesses recalled his antics with a pair of oxen, a farm fair audience, and a costly misstep that ended with a bunker's note in the Windsor manse. The trial exposed the quirky life of show clients and the social theater around rural entertainments.
An obituary notes the death of Albert Rydney Durgin of Hawkisbury, aged 76, near Clarendon. The piece blends a local horse racing milieu with economic commentary on wool markets, exchange rates, and global trade, citing financial pressures in Australia and Africa as factors shaping prices.
