Mr. Robert Little, who has been in declining health for the past two or three years, passed away on Monday night at the patriarchal age of 93 years. Born in Fermanagh, Ireland, he came to this country at an early age. He married Miss Ann, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Constable, Senr. He was a member of the police force, and in the bushranging days of the Clarke gang he always acted as one of the escorts of the many thousands of pounds worth of gold brought from Nerrigundah to the Moruya Bank. After retiring from the force he took up his residence at Dwyer’s Creek, where he erected a brick kiln and conducted a profitable industry in this line. The two-storied brick building belonging to the Emmott Estate in Campbell St. [Moruya], stands as a monument to the excellence of Mr. Little’s work in that direction. He was always of an exceptionally quiet and reserved nature, honesty and integrity being his main characteristics. … Mr. Little is survived by two sons, Messrs. Herbert and John, his wife and one son and only daughter having predeceased him.

Last Saturday was a red-letter day for the inhabitants of that beautiful seaside town, Narooma. The occasion was the unveiling of the War Memorial Tablet and laying of the foundation stone for the School of Arts. Combined with the important functions was a knockout football competition, which in itself attracted a large gathering of people. The foundation stone was of granite from Dorman Long’s quarry at Moruya.

The Bay is beginning to shape itself into a township at last. The Shire Council is having footpaths formed and drains made to carry off storm water. Improvements to the town are booming. The old Clyde Hotel is being turned into an oyster saloon and residential. Mr. Cullen, our local hotel-keeper, has established himself as a firm favorite with all. Another shop opposite the Post Office is in course of preparation to supply the wants of the travelling public.
