Mails between Feilding and Fowlers.

We understand that Mr 8. Daw's tender has been accepted for carrying the morning mail from Feilding to Fowlers, returning in the afternoon, while Mr A. Laing's tender has been accepted for the morning mail from Fowlers to Feilding, returning from the latter place after the 4 p.m. train each evening. It is now nine years since Mr Daw first secured the mail contract between Feilding and Fowlers and he has continaed to run ever since, although not as mail contractor on this line for the whole of the time, having latterly had the mail contract between Fowlers and Bangi* wahia. During the many yean which Mr Daw has been on this iroad he has made himself generally respected by the settlers and all those with whom he has come in contact, by bis obliging di»poaition. Mr Laing has now. been canning a coach from Fowlers to Feilding in the morning and returning after the 4 pun. train each evening for several years and the settlers will be pleased to leain that the postal authorities have let a contract for carrying an additional mail to and from Birmingham by the timetable established by Mr Laing, on whose courtesy they have for so long depended.
