Housewives wishing to lay in a stock of preserves, should procure their supplies at once from Mr C. B. Lever, King street. The well-known Bon Chretien pear is now on the market and no better pear can ba obtained for dessert or bottling. Mr Lever is selling choice fruit at 3s to 7s per box. He also has full stocks of tomatoes, apples, etc. It will be seen by advertisement in another column that memberß of the A. and P. Association are requested to forward their annual subscriptions to the secretary without delay. The Association is relying on the loyal assistance of all members in thia respect in order to clear up all liabilities in connection with the recent Show, and to place the Association on a Bound footing.' Macbay and Jones, Ltd., advertise a large sale of fruit, furniture, Bundriea, etc., for next Saturday at the auction rooms in Sheridan street at 2 p.m. The Sunday School picric in connection with St. Luke's Anglican Church, will take place on Saturday next, at Te Kumi, on ihe racecourse. The children will assemble at the Parish Hali at 10 o'clock, bo as to be in good time to catch the 10.35 train. It is hoped that the parishioners generally, as well as the parents of the children, will all roll up, so as to make the outing a true parish picnic.

A remarkably fine display of cut flowers has been on view in Mr Walker's chemist shop window. The flowers were grown in the Te Kuiti public school garden, and do great credit to the children and to the headmaster, Mr Power, who strongly believes in the efficacy of teaching the children, not only flower growing, but also vegetable and crop growing. _ It is well worth anyone's while to visit the school garden and see what has been done.
