Mr. William Smellie , who was manager of the bacon supply branch of the Invercargill Dairy Supply Company at Tisbury, was born at Milton, and educated at Waitahuna, where his father was a farmer. In 1887 he re moved to Edendale with his father, and, in 1894, after spending some years on a station in the Lake district, he went on to Mr Tothill's farm at Titiroa, Pine Rush. Mr Smellie learned his business there, and, on the establishment of the Tisbury branch of the Invercargill Dairy Supply Company's business, in October, 1900, he was placed in charge. The branch was closed towards the end of 1904, when the Invercargill Dairy Supply Company went into liquidation, and ceased to exist.
