On every bowling green in Welling, ton deep sympathy is felt and ex pressed with that fine old veteran James Lockie, over the tragic death o! his daughter on Christmas Day. lhe shock must have been terrible to be called away from a game of bowls on Christmas Day of all days to receive the awful news that a beloved •daughter whom he had left in perfect health i an hour or two previously had met her | death by sudden accident. In the name of the bowlers of the colony 1 tender heartfelt condolence to Mr Lockie and family —WellingtonLanco. The Qpotiki Herald, referring to,tho Railway League’s meeting, statesi The suggestion conveyed by Mr CarroH is, we think, an excellent one. And we would go a bit farther and suggest that not only should the East Coast Railway League be represented in the deputation to the Minister, but also the Bay of Plenty Railway League. So far any work in regard to a local line has all been from the Gisborne end. Perhaps it is our misfortune, perhaps our fault—it matters not now, wo should assert our claim for consideration straight away and keep on asserting it, just like our Gisborne frionds, who aro feeling the benefits of thoir constant agitation and enterprise.
