We hear that Mr Nicholas, photographer, has met with decided success since he came up to the [Blue] Spur, and has succeeded in making some remarkable "takes" which it is impossible to individualise. One, however, is so striking that we cannot forbear mentioning. A noted inhabitant is taken in his shirt and trousers, and has been taken to the life, the artist preserving his own reputation and the immaculate purity of the clean shirt.

The 'Mount Ida Chronicle' reports the departure from Naseby of Mr E. Nicholas, who had resided in that district for the last 16 or 17 years. "We understand" says our contemporary "that it is Mr Nicholas” intention to go into farming operations, and the Gore district will probably be the scene of his new home, "Wherever he goes he will always carry with him the hearty wishes of a numerous section of the Naseby community." 

Mataura Ensign, Volume V, Issue 239, 20 March 1883

Mr E. Nicholas and family left Naseby for Invercargill on Tuesday morning, March 6th. Mr Nicholas has resided in Naseby for the last 16 or 17 years, where he has profitably carried on the business of a general storekeeper. He also dabbled a little in agricultural pursuits. We understand that it is Mr Nicholas' intention to go fully into farming operations, and the Gore district will probably be the scene of his new home. Wherever he goes he will always carry with him the hearty wishes of a numerous section of the Naseby community.
