Tisbury

Tisbury is five miles from Invercargill on the Seaward Bush line of railway, and is partly in the electorates of Awarua and Invercargill, partly in the borough of South Invercargill and partly in the Awarua riding of the county of Southland. Its population was not separately enumerated at the census of 1901. There is a considerable number of small farms in the district, which has been largely cleared of its original bush; but of a number of sawmills, only two now (1904) remain in operation. Tisbury has brick and tile works, a bacon-curing establishment, and a public school, with 140 names on its roll. A post office and telephone bureau are conducted at the local store, and mails are received and despatched daily.
