Emigrants to Australia

The news of the departure of Mr and Mrs Osborne and their daughter to Australia has come as a surprise to the villagers, who will doubtless wish them a safe voyage and every success in their new undertaking.

For the sixteen years they have resided at "The Bull" hotel, Mr and Mrs Osborne have made many friends and acquaintances, due to their hospitable manner and corteous [sic] nature.

The new year will see three familiar faces set sail for that far-off land, where Mr and Mrs Osborne will join their son Jim, who went to Australia some six years ago. He is in a flourishing position on a sugar cane farm at Mackay, Queensland.
