They Say

That every effort must be put forth during the next few months to place the out-back roads in proper order. That plenty of ready cash is now in the hands o? district engineers for road making. That the securing men enough to do the work is handicapping progress. @- That the Ohura diftrict roads require attention, particularly from Otangiwai to Matiere. That the number of dead cattle on the back-block tracks is a menace to public health. That the danger is increased when the nuisance is close to a settlement. That on a recent visit ot a particular settlement, the gentle breezes "conveyed a very nauseous odour from a deceased beast." That a bye-law should be enacted to compel owners to remove such nuisances. That no news has yet been received about new stone crusher. —unfortunately ! That to be of any use, the crushing plant must be considerably added to at once. That very slow — but sure —progress is being made with the metalling of the Awakino Road. That the settlers picnic at Piopio, on Boxing Day, will be the event of the year. That splendid arrangements have been made for the comfort and enjoyment of patrons of the picnic. That Kuitians and settlers from surrounding districts are sure of a hearty welcome. That the Wairere Carnival, New Years' Day, will attract visitors from all parts. That the surroundings of the Mokau River - , lend themselves to a good view of proceedings. That the attractiveness of the river itself for aquatic and boating events is not to be equalled. That the progress of the Ohura was clearly demonstrated at the last cattle sale at Matiere. That the splendid yards were taxed beyond capacity with the yarding of cattle and sheep. That the next sale, December 22nd, at Matiere, should prove attractive, as a record yarding is expected. That the recent visit of some show companies to Te Kuiti has caused considerable dissatisfaction. That after posting the town with elaborate showbills, posters and "from shake hands to knock out" notices, something good was expected. That the only "knock out" observed was the one delivered —below the belt —to the general public. That no sympathy will be shown to any future companies whose object is to exploit our people. That the proposed Te Kuiti Athletic Sports do not apparently appeal to the general public. That the recent attempts to "muster the clan" have all failed dismally. That at least one more effort should be made to rouse interest in the undertaking. That since the Philharmonic Society has been mooted,in Te Kuiti, "There is music in the air." That the Social Club for young men, just started in Te Kuiti is a good move. That it will be the fore-runner to a debating society.
