OHURA VALLEY.
Continuous rain has made the roads very bad again, and we are all looking forward to an early spring and good roads. This has been an exceptionally good season so far, but winter roads at their best are very bad, though the carters have kept going right through without any serious delays. Mr Meredith, the new school teacher, proposes building a residence for himself as soon as the timber can be carted from the mill. We hope his school attendance will average up to the highest capacity of the district. Mr Alexander, the Stock Inspector, has paid-us another visit, and seems to think as highly as ever of the possibilities of the district, and from what we can hear of Waikato gossip, there is some probability of the sale, at the opening of the new stock yards (in the last week in October), being patronised by an even larger attendance of visitors and buyei;s than was at the first sale in Mr Gailey's paddock.
Spring growth is showing plainly and stock is looking well. Gardens are coming on well, and the whole district should be looking its best by the end of October.
