The school hall, which is being erected by the residents, is almost completed. It is hoped that Government are moving in the matter of supplying the Lorinna people with a school teacher. The building is 15ft by 22ft, and will be used for church and other purposes. Mr Thos. King, of Sheffield, held a meeting in the building on Sunday afternoon, and a large congregation assembled for the opening of the first public building in the district.
