THE KING COUNTRY CHRONICLE. THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1909. DISTRICT PARS.

f In drawing attention to the adver- \ tiscment of Messrs H. Robertson and \ Co., butcher?, Hangatiki, \vc have t pleasure in mentioning that a complete I equipment for delivery has been secured. The slaughter house and premises are on the latest principle and compares faovurably with any other premises of a similar character. The intention of the proprietors is to deliver to Otorohanga and surrounding district once a day and if business I warrants it as many as three deliveries will be supplied. I The secretary of the Mokau-Waitc- ; wbimui Railway League, Mr T. S. f Hickman, has received the following f telegram from the Minister for Public Works: "Received your wire but am ■ unable at present to form a definite j dati for inspection of deviation. Will try to communicate with you later if I ' am able to make the necessary arrangci ments. R. McKenzie."

Mr George King. late of Kihi Kihi, , intends opening a boot repairing shop [ in Rora Street, Te Kuiti, within a few days. Mr King has secured temporary premises close to King Street. i The representative of the Evening | Post, Wellington, who was present %t a social tendered to Hon. J. A. Millar, \ Minister for Railways, at Dunedin, j, recently, states that the most remark- ! able feature of the evening was the E expression of the expectation that Mr f Millar will be the ncxtPrime'Minister. I Hon. D. Findlay referred to this expec- \ tation guardedly, but Mr T. H. Davey, ' M.P., who made a very honest little I speech blurted it right out. It would | have been awkward if Sir Joseph had E been present, because there was such an air of "taken for granted" in the allusions to the matter, and the king seemed really to be deposed while still reigning. In fact, Mr Millar hiraseff, I though in excellent taste, referred to | what the future might have in store ! for him, and the proceedings left the inference that Sir Joseph Ward's meditated retirement may occur sooner than ha:- b'<n tKpecU.d.
