   MITCHELL—MOON. Mr. James Banks Mitchell, of Balldale, New South Wales, was married to Miss May Victoria Moon, of Corop West, on Wednesday afternoon of last week, by the Rev. H. C. Kent. It was a very quiet wedding, only the nearest and local residents being present. Withal it was a very nice function, with all appointments in suitable keeping. Miss Olive Moon was bridesmaid, and Mr. James A Moon best man. Later in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell left in their motor car for a short honeymoon tour in Southern Victoria before proceeding to their home at Balldale. We wish them only well. Mrs. Mitchell, as Miss May Moon, is well-known in the Runnymede-Corop district as having been until recently teacher at the Corop State school and organist of the Runnymede East Methodist Church.
