Reading—history
100 Years Ago 3rd June 1922 The “Daily Telegraph” says that Tilba Tilba is the home of silage making in New South Wales. There are more silos to the square mile in that district than any other part of Australia. Another large haul of fish was made at Coila during the week, when Mr. W. Dennis ne5ed a hundred baskets of bream. Averaging £1 per basket this “catch” should return a substan;al cheque. For any man to have given con;nuous and faithful service under one management for over 50 years is indeed a record to be justly proud of. Mr. W. Vagg, Bodalla, is in this happy posi;on. The Bodalla Coy. realising the uniqueness and importance of the occasion has decided to suitably entertain Mr. Vagg at a social func;on in the local hall on Friday night, 16th June. … STOCK MOVING. – On Wednesday last Mr. Jas. Turnbull, ca5le dealer, purchased from Mr. Stockman, of Tuross, 70 head of young ca5le, mostly heifers, which he purposes moving to other markets. “Jim” must now have a keen knowledge of all classes of stock, as he has been the oldest and most consistent dealer of ca5le in the Braidwood and this district for nearly half a century, and is s;ll going strong. THE ”Glenbrae” dairy farm, containing 100acres of land, with roomy co5age and outbuildings thereon, is adver;sed for lease. THE ’Examiner” offers its hearty congratula;ons to Miss Vera Myrtle Colefax, the excep;onally clever daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Colefax, of Gundary, on a5aining her B.A. degree at the University. THE streets of Moruya are in a deplorable state. During the late rains Vulcan street presented a scene of miniature lakes. The water-tables of this and Queen St. are in a filthy condi;on and reflect great discredit on those responsible. The absurdity of having the Municipality merged into the Shire is painfully evident. PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE. – Mr. W. Jermyn, a<er a pleasant trip to W.A., has returned and taken up his du;es as Shire Clerk. The marriage of Mr. W. Garre5 and Miss Agnes Mehl, daughter of Mrs. Mehl of Moruya, was celebrated in Sydney on 25th May. “Never venture, never win,” must be the mo5o of Moruya’s enterprising ci;zen, Mr. A. H. Preddy, as in addi;on to his picture show twice a week, and dance once a week, he intends to open a ska;ng rink at his commodious Amusu Theatre. Mondays and Fridays are the nights set apart for the enjoyment of this exhilara;ng pas;me for adults, and Saturday a<ernoons for children
