Apiti Notes

[FXOM AN OCCASIONAL COBBBSPOftDENT.] We are a busy people up here ! Last Monday a dozen workmen and neighbors were assisting at Mr Allen's farm docking lambs. We work An the mutual assistance plan, and it works admirably. I noticed half a dozen pack horses start for Coal Greek with provisions and stores for the, men clearing the bush of Dr Johnston, of Feilding. You are not going to hare everything your own way at Feilding this year, and I expect to see a strong committee formed to bare sports some time about Christmas. A meeting will shortly be held in the club room at Mr Ben Pool ' • Hotel to settle up preliminaries. I und rstand that Mrs Arnott intends to take an actire part in the movement, and will get the co-operation of the wires of other settlers in the neighborhood. There can be no mistake about it this is a fine country, and the settlers are the right men in the right place. They havo done much hard work in the few years they have been up here; now they are reaping their reward, because I don't know a single one of them who is not achieving an independence— if not a fortune. These are the men to make a country.
