(From our own Correspondent.l
Mr, .J . J. Barratt, who has been in charge of the Round Swamp public school for the past nine or ten years, has recently been removed to Botobolar, fourteen miles from Mudgee. Mr. Barratt during his residence amongst us proved himself a useful citizen and always took a keen interest in all public matters. Up. to the time of his departure he was secretary to the local tennis club, and also to the new church building committee. In this capacity he will be missed, as his knowledge of secretarial work was unlimited. His good wife will be missed by all: in any case of sickness she was ever to the fore, and her many acts of self-sacrifice are worthy of more than passing notice. We wish them good luck in their new sphere.
Mr. Hill, Mr. Barratt's successor, comes from Warrangunyah, near Ilford, where he had only been stationed a few mouths. Folks from that side speak highly of Mr. Hill as an energetic teacher. Mr. Hill, I believe, served for two years in the late South African war8 .
