MR. JACOB BORN, a highly respected resident of the West Moreton district for 65 years, died at his home in Syntax-street, Ipswich, early on December 7, after a short illness. Through out this long period he has been a servant of Messrs. Cribb and Foote. Even the burden of his 83 years did not deter him from taking an active interest in the
firm he has served so well almost until his last hours, being the 65th anniversary of his engagement. The same number of years marks his association with the Methodist Church in this city. The late Mr. Born arrived in Queensland on
November 28, 1863, and on December 1 entered the service of Cribb and Foote. He left his native place, Ernsthausen, Frankenburg, Hesse-Cassel on August 1, 1860, and came to Australia in the migrant ship San Francisco. Mr. Born, who was an orphan, and was approaching his 18th year, proceeded to Ipswich almost immediately after his arrival in
Moreton Bay. Mr. John Clarke Foote took almost a parental interest in the emigrant lad, besides providing him with employment. In the intervening years Mr. Born has been perhaps the most prominent employee of Cribb and Foote. For
many years he travelled the West Moreton district widely, winning friends everywhere with his good cheer and optimism. There are indeed few families in the West Moreton district who cannot claim his friendship. Apart from his business activities the late Mr. Born took an active interest in the Ipswich General Hospital. He was a regular visitor to the hospital for over half a century, while only a year ago he retired from the board of management, after being a member for over 40 years. He was also a teacher at the Ellenborough- street Methodist Sunday School for about 45 years, besides being a local preacher and ardent member of the Methodist Church since he first came to Ipswich. He is
survived by a grown up family.

Maggs, and Mr. Samuel Arthur Cutmore, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Cutmore, ot Swan Creek, Warwick (says the "Border Post"). The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a pretty gown of white silk voile, tastefully trimmed with lace and insertion. She also wore a wreath and veil and "Was attended by Miss Edie Craig and Miss. Sophie Barton as bridemaids. The former wore a becoming dress of cream voile, while the latter was at- tired in a dainty silk frock. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Jno. Maggs, jnr., as best man. The Rev. Richard Kerr, of Warwick, officiated. After the ceremony about thirty guests sat down to a sumptuous breakfast, and when justice had been done to the good things provided, the usual toasts were honored. The bridegroom's present to the bride was a handsome gold bangle,
while the bridesmaids were the recipients of pretty gold brooches. The presents were handsome and numer- ous. On leaving for Armidale, where the honeymoon is to be spent, the bride wore a becoming gown of brown Sicilian and hat to match. The handsome three-tier cake was made by Mr. W. Barton, brother-in-law of the bride.
