Mrs. Pearce's name, together with those of her late husband and surviving children, will always be honorably associated with Pearcedale. Indeed, the Pearce family have not only given the township its name, but have been responsible for its development and welfare. It affords me the greatest pleasure, and I deem it an honor to be given this opportunity of bearing public testimony to the high esteem in which your guest of the evening is held in our little community, and also by a wide circle of friends outside. Our friend has known the deepest sorrow, having lost her husband and given a son to the Empire. But in spite of these great trials has shown a brave front. It may be truly said of Mrs. Pearce that she has been a model wife and a good mother and a useful citizen

LANGWARRIN
A large gathering of descendents and friends of Mr J. Corlett, senr., ssembled at his residence on Satur- day evening, April 17th, to honor and congratulate the worthy old gentleman on his attaining the ripe age of 80 years on that day. Mr Corlett, who was born in the Isle of Man, is well preserved for his age, and is one of the oldest residents here. Prior to the purchase of his present landed estate, he lived at Ballam Park, and while living there he was the means of having the first services of the Methodist Church held at his residence, and from this small beginning the Church has made so much progress that services are now held in a large and substantial brick Church. As Mr Corlett and his family are so wellknown throughout the Peninsula,We take the opportunity of wishing him many more happy returns of the day

Langwarrin or Carmona.
At the April meeting of the Cranbourne shire council a deputation from Langwarrin waited upon the municipal body, regarding the proposal to alter the name of the town of Langwarrin, but, as the deputationists were not unanimous in the matter, the counc- cil deferred the question in order that an ex- pression of opinion could be obtained from residents, for and against the proposal. At the meeting of the council on Saturday two petitions were presented, also a letter from Cr Lloyd, who was unable to attend, and he asked that the question be deferred for a month. Mr Clark addressed the council, in favorr of the proposal, and presented a petition signed by 61 ratepayers and property owners. He desired to point out that those who had signed the petition did not wish to deprive anyone of anything, and at a meet- ing held on Thursday, the name of Carmona had been agreed upon. Carmona was a high point in Northern Queensland, and was also the name of a famous racehorse. A. good number of these names which appeared in the petition would not be included in this year's roll, the time for the paymentof rates having expired, and there were many new arrivals in the district. He thought the petition contained a majority of the people concerned, and he asked for fair considera- tion at the hands of the council. In obt- taining signatures, only people who used either the post office or railway station, had been asked to sign. Cr Callanan said that a boundary should have been fixed for both parties to work within, which would have been better than taking either last year's roll or the one to be issued this year. Mr Clark said that no attempt had been made to obtain signatures from people re- siding at Pearcedale or Skye. He was sorry those who opposed the alteration were not present, in order that details could be ex- plained. Mr Berry also supported the petition, and stated that all who signed were liable, for. rates, which could be borne out by reference to the ratecollector's books. Cr Herkes said that the question would be decided by the petition which contained the greatest number of ratepayers. Mr Berry stated that in regard to Mr Bar- rett's property, for which rates had been paid , those who recently settled there would not have their names on the roll, Cr Callanan thought that even now it would be better to fix n boundary, and the question should be settled by a majority of those who used the railway station or the postoffice. Mr Berry thought that the rate book would perhaps be the fairer means of deci- ding the question. Permission had been ob- tained from the Federal authorities to make the proposed alteration, provided a suitable name could be agreed upon. The State officials had referred them to the council to have the master settled. Mr Clark-No reason had been advanced against the proposed alteration, which was very desirable on account of goods going astray on the railways. It appeared to him merely a question of not wanting to alter an old name. The President and Cr Greaves did not consider that a similarity in names was sufficient reasn for making an alteration. Councillors quoted many instances of consignments having gone astray on the railways, in which a similarity of names could not be offered in explanation. Mr Clark assured the council that nothing but good feeling existed between those petitioning on both sides of the question Mr Berry said that the Federal authorities had agreed to alter the name so far as the post office was concerned. The deputation thanked the council and withdrew.On motion of Crs Herkes and Callanan, consideration deferred.
