Ladies’ Glace Evening Shoes, one strap, good value, 5s lid per pair. Procnrable for one month whilst Hinton and Hustler’s great clearing •ale lasts.* Mr W. A. Mason has been appointed a Justice of the Peace, and will be sworn in at the next sitting of the S.M. Court at. Kawhia. Wo congratulate the residents upon their wise selection of a J.P., and also Mr Mason upon the appointment. The good qualities of fiaspalom dilitalnm as a fodder are now being recognised by farmers who have planted thin grass, and in this connection we draw attention to two advertisements in this issue from Mr H. J). Bedford, of Ngaruawahia. For some time past the mail service between Kawhia and Pirongia has not been very satisfactory, and the Postal Department has now changed the time-tab!/, which came into operation on Tuesday last. In future the mail will leave Kawhia at 780 a.m. on Tuesday and Friday mornings, and proceed right through to Pirongia, the return trip being commenced from that place at 6 a.m. on Wednesday and Saturday morning*, arriving at Kawhia at 330 p.m. The day for the Te Maika, Kinohaku and Waiharakeke mail has been altered from Saturday to Monday, whilst we believe that the Hautura day will also be changed. Ex-Gov**rnor Francis, of Missouri, speaks as follows of the local paper t “Each year the local paper gives from £5OO to £lOOO io free advertising .‘space to the community in which it is located. No oilier agency can or will do this. The editor, proportion to bia means dogs mors for a town than any 10 men. He ought to be supported, not because you like him personally, or admire his writing, but because a local paper u Urn bent uyestment a local people can make, It may hot be brilliantly edited or overcrowded with thoughts, but financially it is moi® benefit to the community than the tcacbCr or the pacacber. Understand me, I do not mean morally or but financially.” Here’s something good ’ White Lace Curtains, yards long, 5s fid, 9s and 12 < per pair, at Hinton and Hustler’® groat clearing sale.*

Kia Ora on Tuesday last had tha privilege of seeing .three large whales (one estimates ter be fully eighty feet in length) sporting near the bar. The Kia Ora steamed within 100 yards of the mammals. According to a table prepared for the Land Commission, and published with their report, there ate 330,425 acres of land in the hands of natives in the Kawhia, Awakino and Waitomo Counties, and 45,170 acres of native land unadjudicated. < Messrs Jonathan Ltd. are now having their cash orders packed in Auckland and consigned direct to clients, as they find it more’ profitable to do so. It ig, of course, essential to make the orders fairly large, or the charges of delivery would be too heavy on their customers.* THE LONDQN AND BERLIN PIANO COMPANY have forwarded to their Kawhia Agent a REVISED CODE of TERMS for payment of Pianos and Organs. All information and specimen! instrument on view at the local Agency, Srttler Printing Office.-* k • With the object of keeping a medical man in the district, the members of the Kawhia County Council have been appointed trustees of the Kawhia Medical Club. They will canvass their respective ridings, and sincerely trust that the settlers will accord the object warm support, as if £lOO is not paid into the doctor’s account before the end of the year, it is feared that his services will be lost, The membership fee is £1 for heads of families, and 10s for bachelors Mr F, W. Lang, M.H.R., presented a petition last week to the Minister for Public Works, asking for the construction of a 6ft. track through a block of land leading from Pirongia West to join the Pirongia-Kawhia main road. The track is required for cattle-driving, and besides shortening the distance by six or eight miles, it would avoid passing through the portion of the district affected with the ragwort. The Minister has promised to carefully consider the matter, Mr Walrond, photographer for the Graphic, arrived by the Kia Ora on Tuesday, and proceeded to the Marokopa Riyer, where he will take photos ef the interior of the beautiful caves. The proprietors of the paper are Io be congratulated upon their enterprise. The reproduction of pictures of these caves will no doubt open the eyes of tbose connected with the Tourist Department, and perhaps bring home to them the fact that there are beauty ■pots and “ Nature’s wonderlands ” in more parts of New Zealand than Rotorua and the cold lakes of the South Island. The Public Petitions Committee, reporting on the petition of A. W. Babbago and 15 others for a grant of £2500 for forming the Awaroa road, recommended the matter to the Government for favourable consideration. Mr Lang said that the road would give access to 11,000 acres of Government land, and that the neglect shown by the Government in this matter was one of the most glaring instances of the kind that had come under his notice. The settlers had bsen loaded to the extent of £l6OO, yet for five years they had had to put up with a 6ft. track, Mr Hall-Jones said he would be pleased to do all that was possible to assist the newlyformed county council in respect to the road, For every description of Job Printing go to the Sbttler Office-.
