Tho Slraii Picture Company is duo to give another performance this evening in the Levin Town Hall. "Her Child's Honour" is tho star picture, but there :ire many others of an exceptionally interesting nature, such as ".My Order of the 'Emperor," "Red Deer's Bravery," and "The. Way of the Transgressor." Tt is notified to-day that Mr Cecil Wilson has been appointed ranger for the Wirokino riding of Horowhenua County and for tho Borough of Levin. Tt is anticipated that the Century Ha:ll will be crowded this evening on tho occasion of the visit of Sir J. Carroll, who will reply to Mr Massey's recent .speech. The Mayor will take the chair at 8 o'clock prompt. Tn 1907 a number of Australians ■who were stranded in South Africa ; when evil times fell on that country I following the war, were lassisitod to return to their States through the agency of the_ Commonwealth authorities. Their passages wore paid on the understanding that t3iey would do .their best to repay the debt. The Director of the Labour Bureau in his last monthly report to the Government (says the Sydney Morning Herald}, gives a shining example of thirft and perseverance exhibited by 'one of those who were repatriated. _ Tho man, _he said had just finished paying his indebtnews to the department. Ho obtained work shortly after his arrival. He had kept his wife and children, and h?d acquired a threeroomed or.r] two acres of ground, besides repaying to vhe Government, close on. £22. "This," said the Director, "is a great and worthy contrast to most of who received similar assistance."
