Ribbed Sox, la pair, Proeorab ! e for one month whilst Hinton and Hostler’s great clearing sale lasts. At the present time there is an excellent opening for a chemist its Kawhia. A good tailor would also soon work np a large and profitable business here. A meeting of the settlers of Awaroa was hold recently, when it was decided to ask the Poatal Department to alter the mail day from Thursday, as that day was not at all suitable. Mr Lang, M H.R., has presented a petition to Pcrliament from a number of settlers on the Awaroa-Mahoe road, asking for a grant of £2500, for the formation and widening of that road. On Saturday, 26th iuet., Mr A. R. Langley, of Raglan, will offer for sale the well-known oil launch Kmobakn, A quantity of furniture and sundries will also be put under the hammer ; also, eight pigs. The last Gazette notifies the appointment of Mr John Ormsby to make up electors rolls for the Waitomo County, to be Returning Officer for the first election and clerk at the first meeting of the Coanci*. We believe that the days upon which the tn; il now runs between Kawbia and Pirongia will shortly be j altered, to allow of one person carry- | ing 'the mrt! right throogb. Tbe system wiH no doubt be an iruprove- ' ment. ' Tbe meeting called for tbo purpose ' of electing trustees to the Kawhia f Public Library, convened for Tuesday morning, lapsed owing to the non-at-tendance of the conveners. A similar fate betel the meeting of tbs Railway League, caused by the poor attendance. The mail did not arrive at Kawbia till about 9 p.m. on Friday night last, the delay being caused by the conveyance by which it wn carried getting stuck in a bad bole »u the road on the Pirongia side of Te liau a-ojoa. Being without telephonic communication the accident was not known at, consequently a certain amount of anxiety prevailed'. Whilst coming ncrosa tbo Poteka on Monday, Mr D’Arcy Hamilton had tbe misfortune to get his horse bogged at tbe same place where Mr Rose had such an unpleasant experience recently. Three hours work was ncceaa*fated before tbe r ufortunato animal was extricated from the miro.

No other business of importance was transacted. Messrs Jonathan Ltd. are now hav> ing their cash orders packed in Auckland and consigned direct to clients, as they find it more profitable to do so. It is, of course, essential to make the orders fairly large, or the charges of delivery would be too heavy on their customers.* On Saturday last Mr Mackenzie (Commissioner of Crown Lands), ac companied by Mr H. J. Greenslade (member ot the Auckland Land Board), visit’d Te Ran-a-moa in connection with tbe iagwort question, We believe that a scheme to more effectually cope with the pest has been formulated.

Ex-Governor Francis, of Missouri, speaks as follows of the local paper : “ Each year the local paper gives from £5OO to £lOOO in fre-3 advertising space to tbe community in which it is located. No olber agency can or will do this. The editor, in proportion to bis means does more for a town than any 10 men. He ought te be supported, not because you like birn personally, or admire his writing, but because a local paper is the best nyestment a local people can make, It may not b? brilliantly edited or overcrowded with thoughts, but financially it is more benefit to the community than the teacher or the paeacber. Understand me, I do not mean morally or intellectually, but financially.”

AN INT. Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, “ I’ll pay before I go to bed Than debt I owe the pr’ r.ter.” If such there be, go mark him well, No bell shall toll his funeral knell, And if he dies he’ll go to—well, A place where there’s no winter.
