January 16, 1914
Misfortune has overtaken the household of Mr. W.D. BROWN, of Natimuk. Mary BROWN, a little daughter, had her collar-bone broken through falling off a swing. Mrs. BROWN, who had been ailing for about a week, was taken to the Horsham Hospital by Wednesday night's train, and Vernie, the eldest boy, is also laid up.

Miss Alice McCULLOCH, Of " North Woodlands," Stawell, has purchased from Mr. RICKETTS of Penola, his champion hunter, "Denial". The price paid is said to be a record for the district, and it was only a tempting offer that induced Mr. RICKETTS to sell. "Denial" has won the hunters events at Mt. Gambier, Penola, Naracoorte, Millicent and many other places. During last year he won about £100 in show ring prizes. It is Miss McCULLOCH'S intention to hunt him in Melbourne during the coming season, and at Easter time he will probably be taken to Sydney to compete at the Sydney show, together with other horses of Miss McCULLOCH'S.
