Local newspapers reports reflect the community hope that the 1920-21 season would yield a bumper harvest with early reports suggesting this would be the case. Farewells for local identities were being planned and concerns about the approaching bush fire season were being aired. Marrar’s sporting hero Nick Winter was breaking records in Sydney and the local coursing club was preparing for the new season in a way that would be viewed with concern today.
- The first load of new season's wheat was brought into Coolamon by Mr F W Furner and delivered at the local flour mill. The wheat was of the Florence variety and very clean. It went 621b to the bushel.
- At a meeting of the Parents and Citizens' Association at the Literary Institute it was decided at the annual presentation of prizes to entertain the pupils at tea. The prizes were presented during the afternoon and a program of items by the children rendered, after which tea was served. The country children attending the school were thus enabled to take part in the proceedings.
- A meeting of the Coolamon-Marrar Bush Fire Brigade was held at Marrar. There was a good attendance from the Marrar end, but Coolamon was unrepresented. Mr Geo Vincent (president) occupied the chair and drew attention to the grave danger an outbreak of fire would cause to all. He regretted to see Coolamon not represented. After discussion, it was resolved that Marrar residents conduct their own brigade, but if Coolamon was willing to work in conjunction with them there would be no objection by Marrar. Office bearers were elected President, Mr G Vincent; vice-presidents Messrs F Roberts and J Goode; captain Mr J F Johnson; vice-captain Mr F Roberts; secretary and treasurer Mr W Ryan.
- Mr R B Emanuel, first assistant at the local superior public school, passed his examinations qualifying him for class IB. His pass gained for him the rank of a higher grade and salary. Mr Emanuel received many congratulations on his achievement.
- Mr H C Wilson, who had been for a trip of seven months' duration abroad, returned to his home at Ganmain last week looking well and reported having a splendid trip.
- It is the intention of the returned soldiers and Mr J F Cooper's many friends to present him with some tangible token of esteem before he took his departure.
- Receipts for the Wagga Hospital Day held in Coolamon exceeded 180 pounds and it was fully expected the 200 pound mark would be reached for this deserving fund.
- Marrar boy 'Billy' Winter succeeded in establishing an Australasian record for the running hop, step and jump in connection with the Dunn Shield competitions decided in Sydney on Saturday. He cleared 48ft 7in, thus beating his previous best performance by six inches.
- The local coursing club's enclosure was completed as far as fencing was concerned and hares were being placed on the course by the committee in anticipation of next season's coursing.
- Mr Jas Bradbury, who was attached to the staff of the local railway station for about two years, was promoted to the office staff at Junee. Mr Bradbury's departure meant a big loss to the town band.
