Mckay, John , Saddler, Waianiwa. Mr McKay was born in 1866, at Wick, Caithness-shire, Scotland, and was educated at Thurso, where he was apprenticed to the harness-making trade. When he came to New Zealand, in 1863, he engaged in general farm work for some time. He then entered into business as a horse dealer, and was engaged in that line for a few years in various parts of the South Island. Since returning to his trade, Mr McKay has travelled about with a van and two horses, visiting various stations and farms all over Southland.
