THE Kawhia Settler. FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1906, Local and General.

Over 250 pictoral post cards I© ehooae from at this office. The next meeting of tbe Kawbia County Council has been fixed for Monday, July 9th, at 2 p.m.

We believe that the court which was to have been bold at Kawhia on July 18th, has bean postponed until some timi in August. A nice collection of post cards, cemic and views of New Zealand, have jast been secured from Auckland, and are now on sale at tbe Settlbr office.

Notwithstanding the terrible state of the road between the Ferry and Piri ngia, Mr Boenen has decided to ran the mail coach all through the winter, and advertises that fact else where. Such enterpri*e (for, indeed, it is a very big undertaking) is descrying of very liberal patronage. Another consignment of 216 poles for the telephone around tbe Kawhia Harboor, arrived by the s.s. Kia Ora from Onehunga on Wednesday. The acene at tho unloading was a very bnsy one, tho number of mon engaged in the work (about a dozen) reminding people of ports far bigger than Ki*» hia.

The annual meeting of the Kawbia Hasborn Railway L ague is advertised to be held in the Council < ffioee on Monday, July 9tb, at 7 30 p m., when a fall attendance is particularly requested. Betides the election of <officers and the presentation of tho bal-ance-sheet, it is anticipated that tl>ero will be suggestions offrr< d as to the best means of attaining the'eud which il being sou A ht. Last rcasion ihi* proposed railway was talk'd of more than once, and we lionet Uy beli ve that if action is taken now the survey will be authorised before th l House 1 goes into reews,

Don’t forget that good printing can be done at the Settles Offiotf.** Mr Geo. Wright, late of Kawhia, hae commenced business as 'saddler at Raglan. An epidemic of influenza is at present rather prevalant in Kawhia, »nd many residents are indisposed. Another couple of cheap properties have been added to Mr F. A. Pearson’s list on our front page. Mr Coady, of Hokitika, is at present visiting his daughtera in this district —Mrs. J.Scott, A war or, Mra T. B. Scott, Oparau, and the Misses Ou-tdy, Kawhia. Persons who require u fir-t-class piano ou very easy terms are advised to read the new advertisement of the Loudon and Berlin Piano Co. on our back page.* As a result of a discussion at the last Council meeting, for the future the expenditure of all thirds due to the County must ba authorised by a meeting of the Council. We omitted to mention last week, that amongst the telegrams of condo-

lence sent to the Government on the death of the Premier, was one from sympathisers at Oparau. Mr W. M'Carthy, who is well known in Kawhia, took possession of tbe Royal Hotel, Raglan, on Monday last. ‘‘ Mac,” who is deservedly popular, should make a good host. We wish him every success. From the offices of the publishers in London we have received copies of th Graphic and Bystander, containing some really excellent ii lust rot ions, chief of which -arc the recent earthquake in Ban Francisco. We believe that the Registrar will not register the deeds of land abutting on to the Kawhia Beach and Leitbardt Street, but the matter is now in the baud.-t of the Survey Department to put the roads through. When this work is completed the matter will be rectified.

A correspondent of the Waikato Times, writing from Kinohaku, truly states that one of the disadvantages of back-blook life is thescircity of J’a.P., and ironically supposes it is of no consequence if a settler has to lose several days and out-of-pocket expenses to get a signature to a docament witnessed ; bat he thinks if residents of the town had only to lose a few hours for such a put pose there would be a great bowl about it.

The concert and social arranged for Friday night next (6th July) in aid of Mrs Hillycr and family, promises to be a big success. The object is certainly a deserving one, and |as almost everything is being provided gratis a handsome profit should be realised. The music will be supplied by Mrs Langley. Miss Stevens and Mr Jonathan, the three nomes being a sufficient guaran'ee of this important item. A short programme of vocal items is also being arranged. Ratepayers are reminded that the meetings to disease tbe proposal to raise loans to be expended on roads will be held on Saturday, July 9tb, at 2 p.m., at various places as set forth in advert sement. We would like to impress ou our readers the necessity of attending and going into the subject carefully, and as the member of the riding will preside any point upon which they are not clear can be explained. It is probable that the propoeals will be carried, and if so it will mean rhe commencement of a new era of progress for the whole of tbe district.

As another quarter ends with thio issue, and we intend asking for a settlement of some of our old accounts, tho following paragraph from an article in the New Zealand Printer on “ New Zealand’s Country Press,” may be of interest : —“ So long as an advertiser or subscriber is notasked to discharge his liability he is quite content to allow his score to run ou, bat directly he is asked to “ part ” a vital cord is strack, and he becomes suddenly seized with a fit of economy, which resalta in the receipt of a polite message addressed to the proprietor to withdraw his advertisement or atop his newspaper.” We sincerely hope that such will not happen to us. Our Oparau correspondent writes —“ It is reported here that a portable saw mill and planer is to be started. It a house is wanted the mill shifts to the bush nearest the site, cats the timber required and then shifts. The saving in cirting weald tbas be very considerable, and both planed and rough timber will be supplied. Ao oil engine or tractor is to be the motive power, supplied with a winch to haul to tbe mill. The tractor is to be used to shift the plant from job to job. The plant without tbe tractor only weighs four tons and could be easily put on to Newton’s pontoon. The total cost of the plant, which is an American idea, is under £500.” I

“ To discontinue advertising,” says John Wanamaker, the millionaire, “ s like taking down your sign. If you want to do business you must let tbe people know it. Standing advertisements, when frequently changed, are better and cheaper than reading notices. They look more substantial and business-like, and inspire confidence. I would as soon think of doing business without a clerk as without advertising.” This is advice which all business men would do well to follow, but it must be borne n mind that the advertising medium must be the best obtainable. We can confidently say that in consequence of its large circulation, Thh Kawbia Settler is one of the best papers to advertise in.

Parliament was opened on Wednesday, Mr Mason notifies in this issue that poison is laid on the Kawhia run. The sawmill at Oparau, after hav ing been closed down for some time, resumed the cutting of timber on Monday last. O i Thursday night a vety enjoyable s-n ke concert was held in Mr Fulw is-er’s office, the chair being ably fill (1 by Mr J. I Prentice. Our readers’ attention is call d to the preliminary notice inserted by Mr A. R. Langley, cf Raglan, of his coming sale by auction of the township of L mond. The new township is situated at Kinohaku on the point formerly known as Lemon Point. We understand the Bule will take place at Kawhia in about a mjnth frnrn date, notice of which will be given in our next issue. “ All roads lead to Lomond,” says our ever optomistic auctioneer, and as all the sections abut upon the harbour cheap water carriage will evidently be thrown in. Unquestionably Lomond may look to have a busy and prosperous time in the near future. It

wili ha the nearest shipping place and depu. tor a huge district on the southern side of the Kawhia Harbour—a district that we may add is making re markable progress, and only needs better and more roads to come strongly to the front. We feel certain there will be keen com petition for every section, and we wish Mr Wright success in his plucky undertaking—a venture that must prove advantageous to Kinohaku residents.
