Friday January 25, 1918

Mr John Gordon, of Goroke, died on Monday last in the Horsham hospital
where he had been since December 1 of last year. The deceased, a single
man, aged 72 years, was a wool classer by profession, and was greatly
respected by all who knew him, as was evidenced by the number of visitors
he received while lying in the hospital during his last illness.

On Wednesday last, Mrs D. McPhee, received by wire the welcome news that
her brother Dan Neill---who has been a prisoner in Germany for about
eighteen months ---had arrived safely in England. It will be remembered
that he was severely wounded before being taken prisoner, and has had a leg
amputated below the knee, hence an exchange has been effected.
