The lack of interest taken in educational matters in Kawhia was again evidenced on Tuesday nigh*, when the Schoo! Committee meeting bad to be abandoned owing to the failure of some of the members to attend.

Oar Hamilton correspondent wired as on Thursday :—“ Robert Gleutappeared before Mr Nortbteroft, S.M., yesterday, charged , with stealing a greenstone mere. Na evidence wai called, but accused informed the Magistrate tbat although be had not committed tha theft he knew who had done so- He was discharged on the condition that be gave information to the police tbat would lead to the conviction of the offender.”

I Don’t forget tbat good printing can I b® done at the Settler Office. A meeting of the executive committee of the Kawhia Axemen’s Carnival was held in Mr E. Falwassor’e oflics on Monday. The tender of M>as Turnbull (£3 1b) for the booth was accepted. It was agreed to get the blocks from Riuga, 2t 3d each to be paid for block* and Is 6d for posts. Messrs Baird, J. J. Faiwasser and A. Brown were appointed a dance committee, Mr Sparling gatekeeper, and' Mr Bickering boundary rider. Daring the past week u load of flix was brought round per boat from the mill of Messrs Bell Bros, aud Ross, at Haribari, the trip being done io quick time. The return journey was a good deal slower, it taking nearly twelve hours to do the distance. A full load of mixed goods wns taken back and successfully landed. Amongst the Cirgo was a piano, which is said to be the any musical instrument of that character between Mokaa and Kawhia.

“ To discontinue advertising/' savs John Waaamaker, the millionaire, “"is like taking down your sign. If you want to do business you must let the people know it. Standing advertisements when frequently changed, aro * better and cheaper than reading notices. They look more substantial 5 ,ai u '"7»ask like, and inspire confidence. I wouio qooo tfaink of dQ . mg business without a aa wifch . oit advertising.” This is ad v i Co which all business men would do well t) follow, but it must be borne in mind that the advertising medium must be the best obtainable. We can confidently say that in consequence of its large circulation, The Kawhia Settler is one of ihe best papers to Advertise in.
