| Obituary.
Mr. George Drury, son of Mr. E. Drury, of the Lansdowne, passed away at his residence on Thursday evening last, at the age of 28 years, after a brief illness from diabetes, only having been confined to his bed for a couple of days. He leaves a widow and one child, with whom and the other relatives there is much sympathy expressed in their unexpected bereavement. Mr. Drury was only married two years ago last June to a daughter of Mr. Robert Bignell, of the Lansdowne. The funeral took place on Friday at 4 p.m. at the Dawson Cemetery, when the Rev. T. Northcott officiated at the grave. There was a very large number of mourners present.

In memory of George Drury, fourth son of Mr. Edward Drury, who died the 8th Nov., 1900, aged 28 years. In a quiet country graveyard Is another grave fresh made, And 'neath that fresh-turned mound A dear one they have laid. Cut off in his early manhood, With life opening fair and bright ; Alas ! To think that George has left us, Gone forever from our right.
The home once bright and happy Is dark with grief and care : His voice no longer greets them, None fill his vacant chair. Kind eyes are closed forever, No touch of a hand so dear : God heal his mother's aching heart, Oh ! dry his widow's tear. 'Tis hard to feel that he has left us, Ne'er on earth to meet again ; We know our Father called him early, From a world of care and pain. Although his dear ones gathered near him, None could stay that unseen hand ; But all may live in hopes to join him In that fairer, better land. Then gently sleep, Oh ! early taken, Freed from pain for evermore ; We know, although we miss you sorely, Thou art not lost, but gone before. Time alone can bring sweet comfort To the hearts now sad with pain ; And the hope will ease the aching, That in Heaven they'll meet again. Jessie Blore. Nov. 19th, 1900.

[from our correspondent.]
Nov. 13.
' In the midst of life we are in death.' How true these words seemed, when we heard of the death of Mr. Geo. Drury, of this locality, at the age of only 28 years. The young man had been ailing for some time, but it seemed nothing very serious until about six weeks ago, when be gradually grew worse, and on Wednesday last was attended by Dr. Gormley, of Taree, but unfortunately he was too late to do deceased any good, and he sank until about 7 o'clock on Thursday evening, when he passed peacefully away. He leaves quite a young widow, and an only daughter, to mourn their irreparable loss. Much sympathy is expressed by all for the bereaved young wife, as both Mr. and Mrs. Drury were highly es-teemed by all who had the pleasure of knowing them. The remains of deceased were interred in the Dawson Cemetery — the Rev. T. Northcott performing the burial service, and Mr. S. Levick acting as under taker. Typhoid fever has broken out at Koppin Yarratt — a young son of Mr. M. M'Laughlin being ill from this disease. The lad is under the treatment of Dr. Kelly, of Wingham. I am sorry to state that Mr. John Hughes, of Rookville, is at present very ill, suffering from cramps, caused though bathing whilst in a heated condition. This young man is under the treatment of Dr. Gormley, of Taree. We hope soon to hear of both the young people being on the road to recovery. Messrs. Hadley, Bros., had the misfortune to lose a valuable draught mare on Friday last, it having dropped dead whilst in the harness. The cause of death is supposed to be sunstroke. The Lansdowne School of Arts is almost completed now, and it is rumoured that the building will be -opened about the 30th November. The Koppin Yarratt Public Sohool, I hear, needs repairing badly ; it especially requires repainting. Whilst attending the funeral of Mr. Geo. Drury, on Friday last, Mr. B. Sheather had the misfortune to capsize his sulky, through running against a stump. Mrs. H. Minett was in the sulky with him at the time, but fortunately the occupants were not hurt, and the sulky was soon righted again and the journey continued with safety. A terrible hailstorm passed over the head of Koppin Yarratt on Sunday last, cutting the unfortunate farmers' crops down again similar to last year. The farmers are to be sympathised with in their losses, as this is the second crop that has been destroyed in this way.
