On Sunday last, October Ist, the Rev. Mr Wayne, held a Church of England service in the Kaeaea schoolroom, which was much appreciated by the settlers as it is over four years since the last service was held here. However, it is the intention of the church to hold monthly services from now on, only on alternate Sundays with the Rev. Mr Potts oi the Congregational Church. The recent heavy rains have freshened the pastures up wonderfully and given some nice warm weather there will soon be plenty of feed. The hard frosty nights are playing havoc with the fruit blossoms, especially peaches and early plums. Apple trees are showing a lot of blossom, but it is to be hoped that destructive borer, the "c.icado," will be less in evidence this summer than last.

The timber is on the ground for a new billiard room in Aria, the erection of which will be shortly started. The roads are drying up well now and the settlers are looking forward to the time when the Government will make a start with the metalling on the main road from Te Kuiti to Pio Pio, Carting is only £7 per ton just now! —a nice handicap on a settler with a family.
