Knowles (x.JkiMtM 3. .Messrs Dalziell Bros, and son have purchased a flax mill at Napier, and anticipate starting at jan early date. i'hev liaVo also leased a mill at Makerua. Things arc moving here still. HOCKEY. On A\ ednesday one of the most i xciting and fastest games of hockey that has been played in Shannon took place. The local learn of the Men's Club met a leam representing Levin A, who were the winners of the champion-s-hip last year. There was an exceptionally large"-attendance of spectators. Bovis bullied-oft' for. Shannon against Malcolm (Levin) and from the jump it was a loss up which side would get the verdict. The game eventually ended in a draw—two all. Martin scored for Shannon and Winler and Tuoliy (one each) for Lev_ in. It would be a hard matter i<> single out individual players, as all the men on both sides played hard games. Shannon plays Moutoa next Wednesday, at Moutoa. The Ladies' Hockey Club journeyed to Levin, and were defeat- < d by ;j goals to 2, after a splendid game. A meeting of sympathisers with the temperance movement to meet Mr Field, the newly-appointed organiser of the Otaki No-license League, will bo held at the Druids llall on Wednesday evening next.

Residents of Shannon have a strong inducement to buy their drapery, clothing and boots locally when they have a stock like Fargher and Co.'s to select from. A good assortment of well bought jyoods, at a fair and reasonable price, makes good everv time.— Advt.
