    "Word came through yesterday that Mr James Thomas had died that mornin g at his home at Chatswood. Mr Thomas was a native of Pembrokeshire, W ales, and was 86 years of age. He came to Australia with his parents w hen quite a boy, and the family arrived on Monaro shortly after, in th e days when bullock drays were the main mode of conveyance. In later y ears Mr Thomas purchased the "Mona" property, near Bombala, and "Moore Springs" near Bibbenluke, and on the latter property he carried on gr azing pursuits until he was compelled b y failing health to retire.
