Corporal Griffiths, or Otaki, in a letter to his father, gives an interesting description of the landing of the New Zealand soldiers at Uallipoli. Inter alia, he remarks:—"lt wae pretty hot going to Gallipoli. ,The worst part was the landing. When once we got j a good stand on the land "we got along !i very well. Of course the enemy was ji acting on the defensive all the time jand it only stands to reason fhat we must lose a good number o»r men on n> steady advance all the way. We ot after fliem with the t>ayonet three , I, times, But very few would face it." Mr C. F. Pearce, late of Feilding, lias acquired from Mr T. Heslop the business of the Levin Express Company and in future will run it on the old. established lines. An advertisement appears on page 3. > "' A dance to be held on Thursday eVening at Weraroa is advertised in this issue. ' As Sergeant Larke patrolled the park, He heard two sneezee in the dark. Withvstaff gripped tight he flashed hie light, ' His stern tonee echoed through the . ' night, "Kape ahf th , grass, ye coop'e there; Yure dith av oowld, ye'll get t'r shure. ' Come, hurry home, ye love-sick pair, And both takes Great Pep- ' , permint Oere." :
