AMUSU THEATER. – Annette Kellerman in ‘What Women Love’ – to-night (Saturday.)
SIGNS OF PROGRESS. – There is evident in Moruya at present conspicuous signs of progress. New buildings are being erected, old ones demolished and re-erected on more modern lines, houses renovated and painted, and new businesses opened. The latest is a boot repairing shop, which is conducted by Mr. K. (“Charlie”) Matson in Queen Street. If our Councillor would only curb and gutter the footpaths, and the landowners electrically light the town, we could boost Moruya as the prettiest, healthiest, most progressive, and happiest town on the South Coast to live in.
WEDDING. – On Thursday, 12th inst., the Methodist Church, Bateman’s Bay, was the scene of a very pretty wedding, when Mr. P. J. (“Jack”) Gale (late A.I.F.) was united to Miss May Roberts, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Roberts, of Bateman’s Bay, the ceremony being performed by Rev. H. N. Whiteman.
