The very many friends of Mrs. John Emmott and her daughter, Mrs. Gregg, are having the pleasure of again welcoming them back to Moruya. These ladies, who arrived from Wollongong on Wednesday, are the guests
of Mr. and Mrs. E. Hawdon, of “Beverley,” and intend wintering here. Capt. Andrew Lang, the famous aviator, and holder of the world’s altitude record of 30,500 feet, who visited Moruya in Mr. Lebbeus Hordern’s flying
boat, Seagull, was killed instantly in a motor smash at Melbourne on Wednesday while engaged in an endurance test on behalf of a motor firm.

It is with deep regret that we are this week called upon to chronicle the death of John Joseph, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Russell, of Kyla Park Estate, at the age of 16 years. Young Jack, as he was familiarly called,
was a pupil at St. Joseph’s College, Hunter’s Hill, and was making rapid progress with his studies. About three weeks ago he complained of feeling unwell, the cause of which was traced to an injury to one of his knees,
received, we understand, while playing a game of football. His illness was diagnosed as blood poisoning and he was admitted to St. Vincent’s Hospital. … An operation was deemed necessary, and was successfully
performed, after which the poor sufferer seemed to rally, and gave hopes to the anxious of his recovery. He passed peacefully away on Saturday morning, 17th May, surrounded by his heartbroken father, mother, brother
and sister.

Master Keith Stubbs, a promising young pupil of Dwyer’s Creek School, has kindly contributed the
following account of the School’s recent enjoyable function: – “A successful euchre party and dance
was held at the Dwyer’s Creek School on Friday night, 16 inst. People from all parts of the district
attended the praise-worthy function. There were 52 players at the euchre tournament. The ladies’
prize (a lady’s handbag), was won by Miss A. Fry, and the gentleman’s prize (a cigarette holder and
case), was won by Mr. W. Simpson, of Moruya. After the euchre was finished, the committee of the
Parent’s and Citizens’ Association of the school entertained the people present at a sumptuous
supper in the newly-constructed weather shed. After supper dancing commenced and continued
until midnight. At the conclusion. Our teacher, Mr. C. Carter, thanked all those present for helping to
make the party a success.”
