MRS. C. ENGLAND. — Our Childers correspondent writes: A link with the early pioneering days of the Isis Scrub has been severed by the death of Mrs. Caroline England, aged 84 years. The deceased lady left the Old Country in 1881 on the Roma and arrived at Rockhampton where she transferred to a coastal boat bound for Maryborough. She was married to Mr. John England in Maryborough in 1883, and two months later came to South Isis where they selected land. Mr. England was one of the first cane growers and contributed much to the scientific size of cane production. Throughout their long period of residence in the Isis, extending over 60 years, the late Mr. and Mrs. England were held in the highest esteem. They were staunch adherents of the Melhodist Church, and their home at South Isis was for many years the meeting place for worshippers.
They celebrated their golden wedding in 1933 and diamond jubilee in 1943. Mr. England died in February last year, and Mrs. England then went lo live in Maryborough. Eight weeks ago she proceeded to Biggenden, but took ill on the day of her arrival and entered Biggenden Hospital where she passed away on Sunday last.
The members of the family surviving are Mr. Percy England (Yerra), Mesdames S. D. Bolton (South Isis). G. V. Martin (Goondiwindi) and J. Clarey (Bigqenden).

MR. J. M. ENGLAND — One of the earliest settlers of South lsis, in the person of Mr. John Mitchell England, passed away in the Maryborough General Hospital on February 7 at the great age of 88 years (writes our Childers correspondent). He took ill while on a visit to his son at Yerra and entered hospital ten days ago. During his term of residence at South Isis extending over a period of 10 years, the late Mr. England built up a splendid record of community service.
He was one of those sterling pioneers who contributed so much to the district's progress, while his exemplary character wielded a vital influence in the community in which he was held in the highest esteem. When quite a young men deceased came out from England in the sailing ship, Duke of Athole, landing in Hervey Bay in May, 1881. He proceeded to Maryborough and secured work later taking to farming pursuits near the township. In January, 1883, he was married to Miss Caroline Town, and two months later they selected from the Crown a block of scrub land at South lsis, and it was there they made their home.
When sugar growing became apotential industry, Mr. England recognised its future and entered into its cultivation with a strong will to succeed. He was one who supplied the Good Hope Mill at South Isis for two seasons, and after its closure supplied the Doolbi Mill and subsequently the C.S.R, Childers Mill. During his association with the industry he look a keen interest in the scientific side and many years ago exhibited at the Childers Show a magnificent specimen stool of cane of his own propagation from the stock of Q.813 This cane became known as 'England's Pride.'
Throughout his long and useful life, the late Mr. England was a staunch adherent of the Methodist Church and played a leading part in its establishment in this district. Notable events in the family history were the golden wedding celebration in February, 1933, and the diamond jubilee celebrated in January 1943. Mrs. England survives, and the members of the family are: Mr. Percy England (Yerra), Mesdames S. D. Bolton (South Isis), G. V. Martin (Goondiwindi), and J. Carey (Biggenden).

A quiet but pretty wedding took place on April 27 at the residence of the bride's parents, Mayfield, South Isis. The bridegroom was Mr. J. Carey, of Brooweena, and the bride Miss Ruby May England, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. England. The bride wore a pretty gown of cream voile richly trimmed with silk lace and insertion and bole fringe. Her tulle veil was arranged over a coronet of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of lilies and ferns and wore an opal ring (both being the gift of the bridegroom).
Miss Bolton wore a cream voile frock with bands of silk, and carried a bouquet of flowers. She also wore a gold lace pin with heart attached (the gift of the bridegroom). Mr. L.

The country roads are again open for traffic, and all the   mails are arriving to time. Mr. Walter Merritt, the St. Lawrence mailman, who has not been able to get down to Rockhampton for a fortnight, came through yesterday with his coach. He had a big load on, and the road was extremely heavy. Mr. Merritt, found the water flowing over the decking of the Alligator Creek Bridge, and had conse- quently to head that and other creeks. This necessitated a detour of four miles being made, and over a boggy road.
