Notes
General:
Family lore says that Leslie died during a heatwave when his motorcycle broke down in WA. He was possibly travelling to the gathering of a search party for Lasseters reef. It is thought that he may have been a camel boy for Lasseter. On Leslie's death certificate it states that he had lived in Western Australia for 21 years. His occupation is given as Carpenter. Leslie died at the AIM Hospital at Marble Bar Western Australia. Although he died on 10 January 1929, it states that the Dr, Albert P Davis MBBS (Melb) last saw him on 11 January 1929. Leslie was buried at Marble Bar by L E Saville, a Presbyterian Minister and witnesses to the burial were T R Pernie an R Thompson. The Informant on the death certificate was A B Melrose, Police Constable of Marble Bar.

MR. L. C. ROBINS.
The news of the death of Mr Leslie C. Robins (eldest son of Mr and Mrs H. Robins, of Moe) came as a severe blow to his parents, the family and relations, and was most unwelcome tidings for his 'many friends and acquaintances in this and neighbouring districts.
About 21 years since, " Les" - then 23 years of age - left Willowgrove to try his luck in W.A. Entering the employ of a station-owner, he spent several years at Port Hedland. Not so very long ago, at his employer's request, he took charge of a station at Marble Bar.
On one occasion - when at .Port Hedland, we understand - he met with an accident, a blow from a windlasshandle causing him to lay up for a time.
Recently, when writing'his parents, " Les." referred to an injury to an eye, saying that be was under surgical treatment and did not anticipate that the sight of the eye .would be affected.
In sending Christmas greetings, he expressed his intention of visiting his parents during the present month.
Such, however, was not to be, as quite recently he entered a hospital at Marble Bar, and, after a brief illness, passed away quietly on the 10th inst. A post-mortem examination revealed the cause of death to be cerebral haemorrhage. This information was supplied by the hospital authorities, in response to an enquiry made by the parents of deceased.
In their sad and sudden bereavement, the bereaved parents and family have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends.

MARSHMAN - ROBINS.
On Wednesday, 29th March, a very pretty wedding was celebrated in the Willow Grove Public Hall, the contracting parties being Mr George Alexander Marshman (youngest son of Mrs J. J. Marshman, of Brim) and Miss Lilian Alma Alison Robins (eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Henry Robins, of Willow Grove). The officiating clergyman was the Rev. Trigge (Methodist minister), of Warragul. The hall was very tastefully decorated for the occasion by friends of the bride, a liberal use of tree fern fronds being made. Immediately before the stage, carpet was laid, which connected with carpet extending to the entrance of the building. An improvised fern bower was erected, suspended from which was a wedding-bell, and beneath the latter of which the young couple " plighted their troth."
The bride, who was given away by her father, was charmingly gowned in pale pink chiffon voile, with overdress of white ninon, trimmed with lace. She also wore the orthodox wreath and veil, and carried a handsome bouquet of roses and maiden-hair fern, with white streamers attached. Misses F. Bannerman and L. Robins (cousin of the bride) officiated as brides maids. The former was attired in white embroidered voile, with tulle veil and Lily-of-the-Valley wreath, and carried a bouquet composed of roses and maidenhair fern, with white streamers. The latter wore a pale blue crepe-de-chine Eton costume, and ninon blouse, with tulle veil and Lily-of-the-Valley wreath, and carried a bouquet of roses and maidenhair fern. Mr T. Hood acted as best man, and Mr S. Robins as groomsman.
The ceremony over, an adjournment was made to an ante-room, where a sumptuous repast had been prepared. The tables were most daintily laid, and the guests - of whom there was quite a large gathering - having partaken of the good things provided, the usual toast-list was disposed of. The toasts honored were :- " The Bride and Bridegroom," proposed by the Chairman (the Rev. Trigge), and responded to by the Bridegroom; "The Bridesmaids," proposed by the Bridegroom, and responded to by Mr Hood ; " The Parents of the Bride," proposed by Gr W. H. Burrage, J.P., and replied to by Mr H. Robins; " The Mother of the Bridegroom," proposed by Mr Stan. Robins, and responded to by the Bridegroom ; " The Farming In dustry," responded to by Mr C.H. Williams ; " The Press," proposed by Mr W. F. Parker, and replied to by Mr D. Bennett. The presents received were both numerous and costly. The Bridegroom's gift to the Bride was an aquamarine necklet ; Bride to Bridegroom, pair of gold sleeve-links ; Bridegroom to Brides maids-First bridesmaid, gold spray, set with pearls ; Second bridesmaid, pearl and turquoise star necklet.
At the invitation of the parents of the bride, a large number of guests attended a social held in the Public Hall the same evening. A very enjoyable time was spent in dancing, interspersed with vocal items, and in view of the excellent opportunity afforded recruiting addresses by Sergeant Fisher, Cr. W. H. Burrage, J.P., and Mr H. Robins (already reported in these columns). The music for the dancing was supplied by Mr J. Rees (piano), assisted by Miss Bannerman, while Mr A. Harris (Trafalgar) performed the duties of M.C. to the satisfaction of all present. Refreshments were served at about midnight.
During the evening, the following vocal items were rendered, and well received:- "Till the Boys Come Home," Mr J. Rees ; " Agatha Green," Miss Bannerman ; "It's a Long Way to Tipperary," Mr G Wilson ; "The Deathless Army," Mr Horder ; " Wattle Bloom," Miss Hitchins ; " Every Ship will Find a Harbor," Mr W. F. Parker ; "Dreamland," Miss Bannerman ; "Some Hearts will be Joyful," Mr J. Rees ; "When the Boys of the Bush Come Home" (composed and written by the singer), Mr .T. Rees ; "Australia Will Be There," Mr Mat. 'Mitchell, junr. ; " Mavourneen," Mr A. Fortune ; " Even-tide," Mr F. Hitchins ; "Daddy," Mr Horder. The company dispersed at about 3 a.m., when Auld Lang Sync and the National Anthem were sung.

FIRE AT COUNTRY HOTEL.
MAN FALLS THROUGH ROOF
HOPETOUN, Friday - a fire occurred at Franklin's Club Hotel Hopetoun, yesterday afternoon, with the result that 16 rooms, the wooden portion of the building, were completely destroyed. The fire brigade did splendid work in saving the two story brick portion adjoining. A very hot wind was raging. The building destroyed was one of the oldest in the town.
George Glare fell through the roof of the verandah, and was rendered unconscious for a time. Dr Campbell found that his spine and pelvis were injured.
Several firemen had narrow escapes. The building and contents were insured, but the amount is not ascertainable. The damage is estimated at about £1,500.

The Club hotel at Hopetoun is out of luck apparently. It is not so very long ago since a fire wiped out all but the brick portion of the building; later the stabling, with a couple of horses, went in smoke, and now we have another blaze to record. About 2 a.m. last Saturday the shire capital was aroused by the clang of the firebell, and the Club hotel was the scene of action. One of the upstairs rooms was ablaze, but the firemen promptly got the danger over. As might be expected, water did some damage, but taken all together, the brigade proved just the thing. The cause of the outbreak is supposed to have been an electric iron from which the power had not been switched off. Not only damage to the house, but a waste of electric energy.

Hotel Valuations at Hopetoun.
APPEALS FOR REDUCTIONS
REFUSED.
At the Licensing Court, Warracknabeal,before Mr, K. Harrison, P.M., Mrs. Franklin, licensee of the Club Hotel, Hopetoun, sought to have the valuation of the property reduced to £190.
A similar application was made by Miss Brown, of the Commercial Hotel, Hopetoun, to have the assessment of the property reduced to £ 170.
Mr. Pitcher appeared for the licensees.
Inspector Riley opposed the applications, and at the outset raised two objections, first that the valuation must be determined at the annual sitting of the court which this year took place on December 1st, and that the necessary notice Under the Act had not been given, and, second, that similar application had previously been adjudicated upon by the court, and that if there was to be a re-hearing it must be before the magistrates who occupied the bench in the first instance.
Mr. Pitcher submitted that this was new business, which could be brought forward at an adjourned sitting of the court. The magistrate said there was difficulty in regard to the notice, but decided to hear the evidence.
Mr. Pitcher said that during the past year there had been a considerable falling off in business. This was shown in the declarations for compensations. The appellants were paying a licence fee of £50, which was as much as was paid by many hotels in large centres, and the amount was excessive. Another matter was that the hours of trading had been curtailed. Statements were submitted certifying that the Shire of Karkarooc valued the Club Hotel at £190,. and the Commercial Hotel at £170.
Edward Franklin, manager of the Club Hotel, said the last year had been a bad one for business, and the hotel had practically been run at a loss. The major part of the hotel was new, having been built two years ago, and owing to adverse conditions, the return had not been adequate for the outlay. He did not consider the property was worth more than £4000 at the present time.
Inspector Riley - If you were to lease the hotel what would be fair ingoing for five years.
Witness - It would not pay to lease the property at present owing to the effect of war-conditions and restrictions under the act. It would pay better to keep it than sacrifice it for five years.
What would be the rent of the hotel if let to-morrow?'- I don't think it would bring more than £4 a week.
Replying to further questions, the witness said he had been four years in the hotel, and had only paid a licence fee of £50 during the last two years, since the new buildings were erected. With the exception of the Woomelang Hotel, the whole of the valuations in the Corong district were under £200.
Inspector Riley mentioned that the shire had reduced the valuations of a number of Hotels in the district, but had left the assessment of the Lake Corrong Hotel Hopetoun at the same amount as last year, viz., £130.
The witness said he considered the hotels referred to wore previously overrated, and that the valuations were now about right, taking into account the depreciation in values.
The magistrate - Was last year anything like an average year in Hopetoun.
Witness - It was very much under the average ; not more than half.
Harry Brown gave evidence with regard to the Commercial Hotel, urging that the falling off in business justified a reduction of the valuation.
The magistrate decided to refuse the appeals. He upheld the inspector's objection that notice had not been given in time, and he found against, the appellants on the facts, remarking that, it was singular that the shire, while reducing the assessments of a number of hotels in the district, had left the valuation of the Lake Corrong Hotel unaltered.

WEDDING.
WEDDING.
WILSON - ROBINS.
A very pretty wedding was celebrated on Wednesday. 26th ult, at the Willow Grove Mechanics' Institute, when Mr Frederick A. Wilson (eldest son of Mr and Mrs Wilson, of " Mount Speed," Trafalgar) was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Sylvia Pearl Victoria Robins (second daughter of Mr and Mrs Robins, of Willow Grove).
The Rev. H. G. Trebilco [Methodist minister) was the officiating clergyman. The bride, who was dressed in ivory Japanese silk, trimmed with net, guipure insertion and tassels, and who also wore the orthodox wreath and veil and carried a handsome shower bouquet, was given away by her father.
Miss Robins and Miss Ivy Robins (sisters of the bride) officiated as bridesmaids. Miss Robins was dressed in a maize-coloured voile, over ivory silk, trimmed with ivory silk insertion, and fringe and girdle. She also carried a bouquet of pink roses, white marguerites and asparagus fern. Miss Ivy Robins wore a dress of ivory silk, trimmed with cream lace, and relieved with pale blue ribbon. The latter also carried a crook decorated with white and pale blue ribbon. " Mr Bert. Wilson (brother of the bridegroom) acted as best man. The hall was very taste-fully decorated by friends of the bride, ferns, laurels, ivy and mistletoe being used for the purpose. The ceremony over, about 30 guests sat down to a sumptuous repast, which was prepared in first-class style. The usual toast-list was disposed of. The Rev. Mr Trebiico, in proposing the toast of " The Bride and bridegroom," said that he had known the bride and bridegroom, for some time, and held a high opinion of them both. He wished them long life, happiness and prosperity. The bridegroom (on behalf of the bride and himself) thanked their many friends for their kind expressions and good wishes, also quaintly remarking that if it had not been for himself and his bride they would not be present. (The Chairman created some amusement by remarking that if it had not been for Mr and Mrs Robins, Mr Wilson would not have been there).
The bridegroom then proposed the toast of " The Bridesmaids," which was responded to (on the bridesmaids' behalf) by Mr Bert Wilson. Mr H. Lamont proposed "The Parent- " and mentioned that, he had known them for some considerable time. He could testify as to the very high esteem in which they were held by those with whom they were acquainted.
The Rev. Mr Trebilco, in supporting Mr Lamont's remarks, said he had known Mrs Robins and her family at Nhill, and paid a high tribute to her parents, whom he said were foremost in anything affecting the welfare of all. During his recent acquaintance with Mr and Mrs Robins, and Mr and Mrs Wilson, he had formed a very high opinion of them. Mr Robins, in thanking the speakers for their complimentary remarks, said that he had been fortunate in making many sterling friends in Willow Grove. He naturally felt sorry to lose his daughter, and hoped that the young couple would not regret the step they had taken.
The assistance rendered by Mrs Turnbull, Mrs H. Lamont and Miss Mavis Lamont was greatly appreciated by the parents of the bride.
At the invitation of Mr and Mrs Robins, over 100 friends assembled in the evening, when a Social was held in honor of the occasion. Dancing (interspersed with songs, recitations, and speeches) was the order of the evening. Messrs H. Magnusson [piano] and F. Turner (violin) supplied excellent music.
Mr Albert Harris [Trafalgar] filled the position of Master of Ceremonies in a very creditable manner, the energetic way in which he kept things moving adding greatly to the evening's enjoyment. Mr W. H. Barrage, junr. [on behalf of those present] thanked Mr and Mrs Robins for the very enjoyable evening they had had. In doing so, he wished the Bride and Bridegroom long life, health and happiness, saying that if they accepted Mr and Mrs Robins as their model they would not go far wrong. The speaker concluded by calling on those present to sing " For he's a jolly good fellow," which request was responded to right heartily.
Mr Wilson, in responding, thanked one and all for their very kind wishes, and said he hoped that before long some more of those present would be in the same pleasant position as himself- Mr Robins,in a few well chosen remarks, said that Mr Robins and himself were pleased to think that everyone had enjoyed themselves so much, and were delighted to see such a gathering. He also hoped that it would not be long before some of their young friends would find themselves in the same position as Mr Wilson . [Cheers].
Conspicuous among the many useful and ornamental presents was a handsome cruet, from the members of the Tangil Rifle Club, of which Mr Robins is captain; and a lamp, from the members of the Moe Rifle Club, of which Mr Wilson is a member.
During the evening. Miss D. McLaren sang very nicely "The Roses" and ''Oro Pro Nobis." Mr F. Wilson's song [" Loch Lomond"] was greatly appreciated- Mr J Franks, who is a decided acquisition to the district, was heard to advantage in "Thora," "True till Death," and "Asleep in the Deep." Mr Walter Rees sang, with his usual vim, "Once more good-bye, Nellie darling." Mr Burgess gave "Where the River Shannon flows " in his usual effective style.
Mr Harris's recitation, ''Old Walhalla," was splendidly received. Mr D. Espie's recitation, " A bush christening, " was loudly applauded. Mr Lee was heard to advantage in a humorous recitation, " I've been there before. " Mr F. Turner caused considerable amusement by his exceedingly humorous recitation, " The Rider and the horse."-Communicated.

OVERALL - ROBINS.
As briefly mentioned in a previous issue the marriage of Mr. Henry Overall and Miss Avie Robins took place on July 25, at the residence of the bride's step-father (Mr. Geo. Glare), the guests being relatives and intimate friends. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Vineer.
Afterwards at the wedding breakfast the customary toasts were honored. The bride, who was given away by her stepfather, was beautifully arrayed in ivory taffeta and crepe de chene, richly embroidered and finished with-silk stitchery.
The customary veil drawn over the hair and encircled with a bandeau of orange blossom completed a very pleasing attire. The bride was attended by her cousin, Miss May Robins, who was very prettily attired in ivory crepe de chene, trimmed with silk lace and cable stitching and wore a gold pendant brooch, the gift of the bridegroom. Little Topsy Roberts, after the ceremony, placed a lucky horse shoe, trimmed with-satin streamers and orange blossom, on the arm of the bride.
