(From our Correspondent).
The June appeal for the British Red Cross from the Raglan State school resulted in £8/13/ being raised. This amount has been forwarded to head quarters, together with a parcel of books and soldiers' comforts.

A quiet wedding took place at St. John's Church of England, Beaufort, on Tuesday, 12th June, when Miss Florrie Crocker, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs James Crocker, of "Fair View," Raglan, was married to Mr Arthur Kneebone, youngest son of Mr and Mrs Philip Kneebone, of Surrey Hills, Melbourne. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. W. C. Wood. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, wearing a pretty cream dress trimmed with silk and buttons, and a beautiful embroidered veil and wreath of orange blossom (lent by her sister, Mrs Ern Smith, of Merbein.) She carried a shower bouquet of white chrysanthemums, roses and asparagus fern, with white silk streamers. Miss Martha Pitcher acted as bridesmaid, and wore a pretty grey coat frock, trimmed with fancy stitching and buttons, and hat to match. She carried a bunch of pink and white heath, tied with pink streamers, and wore a gold wishbone brooch (the gift of the bridegroom). Mr Bert Crocker acted as best man. About 20 guests sat down to a wedding tea at the residence of the bride's parents, when the usual toasts were honored. The bride travelled in a light grey coat and skirt, trimmed with black velvet, and hat to match. Many pretty and useful presents were received by the happy couple. Four generations of the Crocker family were represented at the wedding tea.
