Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 3 Town Gossip Mr. Maurice Gerald is taking orders for a splendid dictionary. A man we know gave an order for one, but we would advise the Shaughraun to get payment in advance, otherwise he'll never get it - until he takes the case to the Small Debts Court. A tip-top turnout - hooded buggy, horse and harness - together with a quantity of cigars, brushware and cutlery, will be sold by auction at the Royal Exchange Hotel, Windsor, at 3 p.m. this day (Friday). Mr. W. Gosper is the auctioneer. Mr. J. C. L. Fitzpatrick, President of the Royal Commission on Creswell, has received letters anent the case from correspondents in all parts of the Empire - the latest being from Nova Scotia, Canada, enclosing a clipping from the "Montreal Star." We are pleased to report that Mr. Nettleship, B.A., assistant at the local Superior Public School, who was suddenly attacked with what threatened to be a severe illness, is now rapidly recovering. He has been ordered to Manly for a change, prior to resuming duty on the 13th instant. Mr. A. Montgomery, of Windsor, was intimately acquainted with Mr. W. J. Lambie, war correspondent recently killed in South Africa. So was Mr. G. C. Johnson. Poor Lambie was not the "Daily Telegraph" correspondent, as was generally supposed. He really belonged to the "Melbourne Age," and his copy, much cut down, reached Sydney by an office arrangement. Mr. L. A. Simpson, dentist, has moved his surgery form the Royal Hotel to more commodious and private apartments, and in future may be consulted at the Fitzroy Hotel. Mr. Simpson will not attend next Wednesday, the 7th inst., owing to business arrangements, but will be in attendance on Wednesday, 14th. Patients will kindly note the new address. Thus "Truth" : "Among the South Australian second contingent is Corporal Harry Morant, better known as 'The Breaker' of the 'Bulletin'. If Morant had gone for N.S.W contingent he would probably have been 'spun' for bad riding." It is now asserted that Morant has skipped back to Sydney, and that a Windsor man saw him there not many days ago. The same old "Breaker" ! It is to be deplored that respectable citizens cannot take a short drive on a Sunday without being subjected to the unsavoury attentions of sharping ghouls whose object in life seems to be the "spoiling" of his neighbour. The leading members of this gang are well known to be lazy bummers, who neither toil nor spin - unless it be nets for the unwary - whose language is of the bottomless pit, and to whom a William goat's morals would appear saint-like. Such social pests are a menace to society. Cannot their little games o' Sundays be strangled ? The Lyne Government, having decided to provide work for the unemployed on reproductive works on the harbours and rivers of the colony, we think that some consideration should be given to the Hawkesbury River, which has shoaled up so badly of late years near Windsor. Experts say the work of deepening the channel is practicable, and if the river traffic between Windsor and the Lower Hawkesbury could be restored, the work would be eminently reproductive. It would add greatly to the railway revenue, and benefit the town. The cost would be insignificant when the benefits to be derived are considered. A pitiful case of youthful immorality came before the Police Court on Tuesday.
