The preacher was the Rev. T. W. Harvey . LONGHOPE . Rev. A TIMELY DISCOVERY . - On Friday afternoon , about 2.30 , P.C. Jones , stationed at Longhope . was passing the premises of Mr. F. C. Field , when he noticed smoke issning through the tiles of the onthuildings . He at once went into the buildings and found a heap of recently cut chaff on fire , some hay near by , and the floor of the hay loft was also on fire . With the assistance of a lad , named Lawrence , rnd a plentiful sup- nly of water , the fire was extinguished . Thanks to the timely discovery of the con- stable a serious conflagration was prevented , as the building , which is a wooden structure . contained a quantity of turpentine and oils . besides a miscellaneous store of building material and other goods , and is surrounded by the usual collection of materials found in a builder's yard . SELLACK . INTERESTING PRESENTATION . A very interesting ceremony took place at the Grove Common Gospel Hall on Tuesday last , when Mr. and Mrs. Scudamore , of Moras- ton , were made the recipients of a token of the regard in which they were held by their fellow - labourers in the work carried on nt the above hall . Mr. A. E. Rudge . in making the presentation , said he had a duty thrust upon him both pleasant and painful : it was indeed a pleasure to him to testify how that both Mr. and Mrs. Scudamore had not only started together on the narrow way . but since putting their hands to the nlough there had been , as far as others could judge , no looking back . They all knew what a dili- gent worker Mr. Scudamore was ; he was always to be found where work was going on , and he would be greatly missed . not only by friends here , but by others in Ross . It was sufficient to sav about Mrs. Scuda- more that the hospitality at Moraston was so great and the welcome so warm , that he could hardly ever get a preacher to come to Baysham now . In asking Mr. Scudamore to come forward and accept these two Divan chairs and the purse of gold , which it was his pleasure to give them on behalf of the Christians with whom they were meeting , he hoped these chairs would remind them in their new home of the many friends they Bright Rainfall had at Grove Common . He would also like sun- 24 hrs . to add that the instigator of this movement shine to 9 a m was not himself , bnt Mr. Eckley , who should in , have been there in his place at this time .

But the war has accelerated the conversion of farmers to motoring , partly because far- mers , as producers of stock and foodstuffs are really doing well , and partly because a great many of their horses have been re- quisitioned by the army . According to the motor firm in question , a farmer is indiffer- ent to the appearance of a car . The points which he looks for are easiness of handling and hill - climbing capacity .
