From Our Resident Correspondent. Honieseekers will have an opportunity of securing a desirble section on Wednesday July 28th. when two sections of 4 and 3 acres each in the Ttasdale Settlement will be offered for lease As the rentals are low and the location in proximity to the town, the opportunity should commend itself to those desirous of having an acre or two of their own. —A Hawk Convention. Hawks are very plentiful just now. In a paddock near Hairini a well attended meeting was held the other day. at least 26 representatives of the hawk fraternity being present. The subjects under discussion were several freshly trapped rabbits. A vote of thanks to rabbit trappers was carried unanimously, their thought of providing freshly trapped rabbits daily being highly appreciated. Hawks account for a good many young lambi at lambing time, so these creatures cannot be looked on as desirable guests. —New Sawmill at Pirongia.
