A wail from the Opotilci Herald : “ Tliera is no denying the fact that social life in Opotiki is all upside down with care. Twenty years ago we were all ono happy little family— nowadays thei e are families galoro and they are all at sixes and sevens, and fighting like Kilkenny cats. There must be some reason for it—it surely cannot be a natural incidental to that ad vatcod civilisation about which some of us are given to prate. At all events there is an excellent opening for a patriotic reformer, who is not afraid of hard knocks.” NEW LEASE FOR WEAK LONG 4 .
