Elmore, 20th July.
Sister Helane O'Neill, daughter of Mrs. O'Neill, of the Shamrock Hotel, Elmore, leaves on Saturday next for the war front hospital. Her intended departure was referred to last evening at a social evening, when Mr. A. J. Rogers took advantage of the occasion to compliment Sister O'Neill upon being the first woman to go from Elmore to the war. He conveyed to her the best wishes of her many friends for a pleasant voyage and a safe return, and called for cheers in her honour, which were very heartily given.
