Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, February 24, 1900 - page 3 TOWN GOSSIP The Minister for Works is having inquiry made in the country districts and in places near Sydney for the purpose of ascertaining what road construction or repairing should be done, so that, as Mr. O'Sullivan puts it, "the workless worker may be employed." A circular has been sent to road superintendents about the matter. Among those who went to South Africa in the Moravian were Drs. Dick and Newmarch, and Messrs. Arthur McNevin, W. C. Coulter, and Freeman. All of them have at one time or another been associated with Windsor. Private advices state that Dr. Dick's horse died on the way over. Several complaints have reached us concerning the irregular delivery of the Gazette through the post. One subscriber assures us that he has not had a paper for three weeks, though it has been regularly sent from our office. Another frequently gets his paper when it is eleven days old. We are now making inquiries into the cause of the delay. The Rev. C. A. White purposes delivering a series of Sunday evening addresses on Social and Industrial Problems. The subject announced for next Sunday evening is "The Problem of Poverty." This will be followed by "The Abuse of Wealth," "The Curse of Sweating," "The Missing Link in Education," "Socialism," and "The Christian Ideal of Society." Three weddings are on the tapis. A popular young bachelor named William ------ (we promised not to "put him away") is to give himself to a Sydney lady for "keeps." What are the Hawkesbury lasses thinking of ? Another young Windsor man is to be married, and a local lady will be his bride. The third is a much-respected Windsor lady, who will bestow herself upon a resident of Windsor Road. "Mudgee Guardian" says :- "Mr. Antill, of the Commercial Bank, was very anxious to go to the war, but was unable to get the necessary permission. Considering that Mr. Antill has already two brothers in the front, we think that two of a family are quite sufficient." This is Mr. G. Antill, once of the local branch of the Commercial Bank. His father, Captain John Macquarie Antill, is a son of Major Antill, who came out with Governor Macquarie as aide-de-camp. A deputation from the Hawkesbury District Agricultural Association was introduced to the Minister for Mines and Agriculture by Mr. W. Morgan, M.L.A., on Wednesday. The object was to try and obtain a grant of £200 or £300 from the Minister with which to effect certain improvements on the show-ground. Mr. Fegan assured the deputation that he was in sympathy with their object, but at present had no money to give them. He also stated that Mr. Morgan had frequently importuned him, and if their Member could not get a grant for them they were not likely to get it through any other source. Mr. Will Gosper, who went away to Bowral some months ago, has returned. Constable Orr, is now in charge of the police station at Bankstown, paid a flying visit to Windsor last week. Mr. J. Ford, who for some time worked a farm on Wilberforce road, has given it up, and now resides on the Peninsula. Mr. Nettleship received word this week that his father was dangerously ill. We are glad to know that he is recovering.
