On Monday Messrs Morgan, C>o and Wetere made a nice haul of 60 snapper on the Kawhia bar. Tbe attention of settlers is directed to tbe advertisement on our third page of the Waitara Freezing Works tel itive to the prices of their manures. To-morrow (Saturday) a presentation is to be made to Mr and Mrs J. Cootty at Oparau, prior to their departure for Kinohaku. Mrs Kay, of Kawhia, was the suecesssul tenderer for the boarding house at Oparau lately occupied by Mr Crotty. Persons who require a first-class piano on very easy terms are advised to read the new advertisement of tbe Loudon and Berlin Piano Co. on our back page.* Aftea leaving Kawhia on Thursday the s.s. Kia Ora returned to Harihari and received 200 small bales of flax, which were surfed from Messrs Beil Bros, and Ross* mill. We learn that 'the residents along the Obukala road intend asking tbe Council to make arrangements for ths taking of a poll to raise a loan to metal that road.

There was a good attendance at tbe clearing sale conducted by Mr A. R. Langley on Saturday last on account of Mr Pearson, good prices being realised. Tbe house was not sold. Mr Archer, who is well known to residents of Kawhia, has left Te Mata, and is now engaged in a commission agency business at Otahuhu, having Mr Banks as a partner. We wish him luck in his new undertaking.

Mr E. J, Grabarn, of Wiutetuna, is importing from the South Island, a handsome three year-old draught colt, which is to be at the pervice of breeders. If sufficient inducement offers the horse will visit Kawhia. Full particulars of bis pedigree, etc., mar be had on application to Mr A. Warr, Waitelana.—Advt.

Westland has been the vampire of the colony. Wh’le the settlers in the bush districts of the North Island are wp’lowing in liquid roads and losing themselves in quagmires, Westland is covered in a network of fine roads, many of them leading to nowhere and serving no necessary purpose.—Oamaru Times. SMOKERS READ THIS. The good thing at last ! GOLDEN EAGLE Tobacco, FLAKE CUT, in TWO-OUNCE TINS. Try it. The other day, whilst walking over bis section at Awaroa Mr K. McCard’e tripped over a root, striking his head on ti-tree stump, inflicting a severe wound just over the eye. He came to Kawbia and was attended by Dr. C. Campbell Jenkins, who stated tbe escape from serious injury to the eye was miraculous.

• The export of pi pis, which has been }-extensive during the past few weeks | (several tons) is to the natives a | source of eleemasonary gratification \ Those, of course, are shell-fish, and are not protected. Why is this, and where is the Minister of Marine to say you must not that he has not seized upon it as &n excuse that they should - not be placed in the same oategery as i oysters ?

Now that the time is fast approaching : to see what we can do to prevent potato blight we (the Kawhia County more particularly) should give this our earnest consideration. We have received from Messrs Sharland and Co. a pamphlet re a blight exterminator and a testimonial from an eminent potato grower, who, we think, would not war.te his time in stuff of no good to commend it to tbe notice of

In spite of the opposition which was raised some time ago about the wharf trustees spending the wharf funds in the streets of Kawhia, £BO has been handed over to complete street improvements, Tbe auditor, who is above tha personal opinion of tbe Minister of Marine, may have something to say regarding thia. The funds are intended for the whole community, and not for the benefit of tba few residents of Kawhia. The advent of the Corinna is surely sufficient to make the trustees alive to the fact that more shea accommodation, extension of the wharf and more secure piles are required. * Tbe fullowing paragraph appeared in Friday’s Herald :—“ Tbe results of the poll held in tbe Kawhia County on Saturday last, with reference to raising loans for road purposes, have been communicated to Mr W. W. McOardle, chairman of the County. Tbe Waitetuna, Oparau and Awaroa loans were all carried, while tbe Kinobaku loan was rejected.*' This is, indeed, startling information. The Act says there must be a three fifths majority of the total votes pulled, and as the figures were—for 17, against 9, it surely does not need much rack <n iug to cotno to tbe cinclu-ion that tbe pG»’ carried.
