LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
Mr Gill, the artist, has produced another batch of five South Australian Heads of the People. They are cleverly got up, and, upon the whole, fair likenesses. A celebrated barrister skilled in weaving and unravelling the meshes of the law (although not a disciple of Izaak Walton) faces a Knight of the Hammer, who cannot rein in his witticisms, which drop as thick as hails. An architect and a stockholder, both striking likenesses, are also placed vis à vis; the fifth and central attraction being the bland and redoubtable mining millionaire, the great “O.G.”
