Rarotonga, Dec. 16.
THE local postmaster, Mr. R. L. Horn, has returned to New Zealand, after serving his three years’ term. If his farewell by the Bowling and Tennis Clubs was indication of his popularity he has left a place in the community’s esteem that will be hard to fill.
During his term, Mr. Horn handled something more valuable per ounce than platinum, namely, the Cook Island issue of the King George V. Jubilee stamps.
It will be an everlasting regret with him that he sent £4OO worth back to New Zealand to be destroyed. That amount of stamps to-day has a market value of £3,750 sterling!
