"Are you retired," asked the magistrate of a native debtor, who had said he was not working. "Living on your land, eh?'' "No," was the innocent reply, "on to Jcumara."

The visitors from Taumarunui who took part in the debate at Te Kuiti on Thursday evening were unanimous in their appreciation of the hospitality extended to them by Mr E. H. Hardy, president of the Te Kuiti Debating Society.

Settlers on improved larm sections throughout the district will be glad to learn that the Government is prepared to supply cows to thos9 who have the applications approved by the Grown lands ranger. Applications should be made at the earliest possible date in order to get the benefit of the present milking season.

In order to close accounts the prices and terms have been considerably modified; and as all upset prices have been published buyers know exactly what- they can buy at. Tho matter is worthy of the attention of the speculator or homeseeker. Full particulars in our advertising columns, or at Mr Graham's office. We are asked to particularly state that the sections are absolutely up for sale at upset prices. Sections are pegged out.

E A special young people's service j will be conducted in the Prenbyterian Church on Sunday at 11 a.m. During i the evening service Mrs W.

The rc-union of the members of the old To Kuiti Fire Brigade will take place this evening in liattaway's sample rooms. An enjoyable evening should bo spent. The extra express service between Auckland and Wellington was commenced yesterday, but was not widely patronised. However, there is ample time for the traffic 1o increase during the summer, and the new service is bound to he popular as the soason advances. The new train arrangements, which came into operation on November Ist, must mean a considerable addition to the business of the Te Kuiti station, which may row lie classed as the busiest on the Main Trunk line. Ail the trains on the run change engines and staffs at Te Kuiti, which has come to be designated the half-way house. After having spent live years with Messrs Green and Colebrook, Mr Cecil Boles has decided to start business on his own account. A very central noitions has been chosen next, to Mr Lissaman'ti shop, and alterations aro to be made to suit the requirements of cash grocer. It is Mr Holes' intention to conduct his business on purely cash lines, no booking being encouraged. With low prices and a quick turn over system, Mr Boles asks for a fair share of public support and patronage. 4
