Early yesterday morning Mr. Thomas Mason and his wife were engaged in gathering vegetables at Mr. Mason's garden, near Fitzger- ald's Bridge. They were working away in different portions of the garden for some time, when Mrs. Mason missed her husband. Going to where she had seen him last, Mrs. Mason was horrified to see him lying on his face, apparently dead. Mr. William Barton, who lives close by, was called in, and he did all he could for the wife, but on the doctor being called in, life was pronounced extinct. Mr. Mason had passed away without a struggle. The deceased was one of the best gardeners in the district. About 3 years ago he acquired a portion of land near Fitzgerald's bridge, and in a very short space of time he had transformed an apparently barren and sandy piece of land into one of the most up-to-date gardens in the district. Throughout the dry time, Mr. Mason's garden was one of the beauty spots of Forbes, all kinds of vegetables growing in profusion, the owner of the plot demonstrating what could be done by the judicious use of water. It is sad indeed, when one thinks that just when the gar- den had been made into a going con- cern, and future prospects were bright, the owner should pass away so suddenly. The deceased was 45 years of age and leaves a widow and one child, for whom the greatest sympathy is expressed. A quiet man who was content to attend to his own busi- ness, the deceased had made many friends in Forbes, all of whom will be very sorry to hear of his sad end. The late Mr. Mason was of the congregation of St. John's Church of England, and as superintendent of the Sunday School had done much to assist in the training of the young folk. The Sunday School scholars especially, will miss the kindly as- sistance and advice of their super- intendent. The acting-coroner, Mr. W. T. Gilchrist, was communicated with, and an inquiry will in all probabi- lity be held. Mr Mason attended services at St. John's Church on Sunday as usual and was apparently in his usual health, and his sudden death next morning gives the happening a very sad aspect. The funeral this afternoon will be to the Church of England cemetery, leaving Forbes at 4 o'clock.

LATE MRS. R. MASON. It was with sad feeling the Lock hart people heard the definite news on Monday, of the death of Mrs. Robina Flora Mason, secretary and librarian of the Lockhart School of Arts, and caretaker of the C.W.A. Rest Rooms. About a month ago, Mrs. Mason, after being ill here for weeks, left for Sydney, accompanied by Mrs. J. J. Nolan, her son, Mr. Rupert Mason (now employed at the Cootamundra Post Office) join ing the train at Cootamundra. When in Sydney, she consulted var ious specialists, but they held out little hope, her case being looked upon as incurable. Possibly, in the circumstances, her passing can be viewed as a happy release, saving her continued suffering. Deceased was held in high esteem by all who knew her. A native of Wooroonoke (Victoria), she eventu ally came to Urana to live, her mai den name being Paulin. In 1909, she married Mr. Thomas Mason, a brother of Mrs. J. J. Nolan, of Lock hart. Later, Mr. Mason and his brother controlled a very successful market garden at Lockhart, the pro perty now held by Mr. W. Peterson. On selling out, Mr. Mason estab lished gardens for himself at Forbes (N.S.W.) and met his death in rather tragic circumstances, his de mise being attributed to the poison ous sting of an insect whilst he was working in his garden. Sometime after the death, Mrs. Mason and her son Rupert (the only child) came to Lockhart to live and for some years she successfully conducted a cafe business of her own in McCracken's Buildings. Upon relinquishing the business, she obtained easier em ployment in the town as already in dicated in this report, her son, in the meantime joining the Postal service, in which he has made ex cellent progress up-to-date. We ex tend to him our sincerest sympathy in the loss of a good mother. The funeral took place on Mon day afternoon, in Sydney. Mr. Rup ert Mason and his cousin, Mr. S. Bennet, of Borambola, will return to Lockhart on Wednesday. At the meeting of the Lockhart School of Arts Committee, a resolu tion of condolence with the relatives of Mrs. Mason was carried in solemn form and on the motion of Mr. Par ker, seconded by Mr. Barrett, the acting secretary was requested to send Mr. Rupert Mason a telegram of condolence.
