HIKUTAIA NOTES.

SCHOOL. Miss L. A. Morrison, probationary assistant, at the. district ‘school has received the welcome news that she has successfully passed in all subjects except one for the Teacher’s D Certificate —a very creditable performance, seeing that Miss Morrison commenced teaching in March las:, the examination taking place in August. Her success will enable her to enter the Auckland Training College at the beginning of next year, HAKAAR. At a meeting of the Bazaar Committee and Stall-hplders held last week, Mr A. W. AJljey presiding, final arrangements were completed. From the reports handed in everything points to an unqualified success, even Jupiter Pluvius holding out hopeful signs of favourable, weather conditions. The canvassers in their rounds met with a splendid reception everywhere, and valuable goods of all kinds are coming to hand in goodly numbers, so that the stall-holders and the other amateur saleswomen will have to bustle to get rid of all they have for sale. The meat stall promises so well that the surplus animals, donated will have to be auctioned at the next cattle sale. The lamb, mutton, geese, and poultry of all kinds on sale will, however, satisfy a large demand. The other stalls will be rcpete with art, fancy and plain work, home-made goods, as well as the thousand and one things that go to complete the stock of a well-appoint-ed baz.aar, The refreshment stall will entice much business,, while the Christmas tree will delight the youngsters', and compettions those bf larger growth The bazaar will be opened at 11 a.m. by Mr Lbwe, chairman of the Thames County Council. Mr Poland, M.P., Colonel Allen, the Mayors of Thames and Paeroa, and members of the Thames and Ohinemur County and Borough Councils have expressed their intention of being present. In addition many visitors from the surrounding districts are expected to be present. Tlie decorations .were placed in the capable hands of Mr I, M. Robinson, and the erection of the stalls in those of Mr F. Maxwell. The bazaar, it is proposed, will, end with the inevitable dance. DANCE. A dance held in the hall on Saturday night in aid of the hall funds proved a huge success. The attendance was large, and, as a consequence, those present thoroughly enjoyed themselves. LIBRARY. There is some talk of adding a circulating library—a much-needed want—to the institutions Of th© township. WEATHER, The present , genial sunshiny weather is a great contrast to the cold, wet, wintry snap of the preceding week; so much so, that if sunshine prevails much longer the farmers will, be crying 'out for rain. • SUCCESS AT SHOW. Mr B. McSweeney’s black horse was successful in carrying off first and second honours at the show held in Te A'roha last week, thus adding another two to the many wins already achieved. FEED. Everywhere feed is abundant, and the cattle are in excellent fettle. Growth in the gardens, as well as in the fields, is strong and vigorous, everything pointing to satisfactory crops.
