'Cheung Chau Notes' appear to be a frequent column on China Mail in mid 1920s to 1936.
It is listed as a regular item of the Overland China Mail (all news of a week published on Fridays) in ads on China Mail itself approx. until end of 1927.
On China Mail, this column possibly begins with an article on 13 Nov. 1923. Said column title was adopted and posted on China Mail until around 1936 end.
For the very first article, it is actually titled :
Cheung Chau
Jottings from the
Island
(from our own correspondent)
From the papers, by the 20's this seems a period when activities and interests of this island community (Western) became to take shape and importance.
Similar Cheung Chau exclusive content still appears few times during 1937-38. e.g. with the subheading 'Cheungchau*, to-day' (* or, Cheung Chau).
By observation, no such column or content could be found by 1938. Possibly because WWII arrives and impending. [1]
