The function was held at Mr. M. Maxwell's, abundance of good things were supplied by the ladies. Mr. W. Wintle, J.P., said he was delighted to be present to welcome his old friend home again. He had a soft corner in his heart for soldiers, knowing what hardships soldiers have to bear. He appreciated the action of those brave boys who have gone from Cox's River and lower Burragorang to fight for Australia and the Empire, while the rest of us stay at home and nurse our cold feet.
