"THE LATE MR. J. P. PRISK.

Our Woolomin correspondent writes relative to the death of the late Mr. J. P. Prisk. The burial took place at the Bowling Alley Point cemetery in the Church of England portion, the service being read by the Rev. A. Betts, of Tamworth. The minister referred ito some of the deceaseds good qualities, saying he had met him on the Tuesday before the accident going about his work in his usual good spirits, not having time to say more than a few friendly words.

The late Mr. Prisk was a member of the Manchester Unity Order of Oddfellows, and the members mustered in strong numbers and formed a procession at the turn of the Nundle road. They wore their full regalia, and marched in front of the hearse to the cemetery, and Bro. Hodge read their beautifully-worded Oddfellows' burial service.

The funeral was a very large one, people being present from all parts of the surrounding district, as Mr. Prisk was well-known, and had a large number of friends.

The late Mr. Prisk was a good judge of draught horses, and a good man at handling them.

Deceased leaves a widow, four sons and two daughters. The sons are: Paul, John and William (now wounded at the front in France), and Arthur, and the daughters Mrs. H. Hannaford and Miss Prisk, all of Woolomin."
