OBITUARY.

News of the death of Mr. Leslie P. Fullerton which occurred in Cairns on September 24 was re- ceived with deepest sympathy by his many friends of Mt. Molloy district. Leslie, who was born here 32 years ago, was the youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. de Dresie Fuller- ton, of Mitchell Vale, one of Mt. Molloy's oldest and most respected families. He received his early edu- cation-at the Mt. Molloy State school, and later went to Thorn- burgh College, Charters Towers. He was a genuine friend-quiet and unassuming and respected by all who knew him. He served for five and a half years with the R.A.A.F. in the late war, and like many of his brave comrades, his nerves were affected. He is survived by his   widow, of Cairns, his mother, one sister (Edna) Mrs. G. Davies, of Mossman, and one brother, Drensey,

of Mt. Molloy.
