The next of the New ZeaLni Shipping Co.’s boats to leave the Waitara Roadstead will be the t.s.s Orari on or about February Ist. We received a sample dish of fine plums from a tree of Mr Langley’s growing at “ Titoki,” Kawhia. The fruit are Japanese variety known as *• Ogon ” ; they average four to the pound, anti picked in fine condition were most delicious eating. Mr Lmgley tells us tba’ the “ Ogon ” is a vitf< r uh gr.,w< r, hardy and a heavy cropper, »nd as 'he cliru.de evidently seems to huh it our s-ttlera would do well to include it in their lint of trees to plant. Next man with samples, please !

I Don’t forget that good printing oan be done at the Settlbb Office. t ■ In this issue Mr F. A. Pearson invites tenders for pit sawing and bush filling. Up Io the time of our going <0 preps the s.s.

If you want Sue potato crops don’t forget to spray your plants with Bhab land's Potato Blight Exterminator. It is fatal to blight epores.* The meeting re tbe races in Kawhia during March, arranged for Wednesday night last, did not take place, be ing adjourned till to-morrow (Saturday) eight. Applications for the position of engineer to the Kawhia County and tenders for alterations to the offices recently purchased by tbe County, close on tbe 7ih inst.

“ Coming events oust their shadowbefore.” Or Babbage has been appointed chairman of the Kawhia Medical Club. A good guide as to who will be the next County chairman. The court fixed for Wednesday last was adjourned by Mr Cowern, J.P. The next S.M. Court will be held on May Ist, and it is probable that there will be a Justices Court held before that date.

Considerable activity is being displayed in clearing the town sections and the road frontages of noxious weeds. Still there are some owners who need another little reminder from the inspector.

A quiet wedding was celebrated on Wednesday last at Kauroa, near Raglann, when Mr Inman, of Oparau, was married to Mias Winnie Gibbisoa. Mr and Mrs Inman are to reside at Oparau.

The fact of Oparau and Awaroa cricketers having met has aroused the Kawbio wieldera of the willow to activity, and practice is being indulged iu. The Oparau and Kawhia clubs try conclusions at Oparau on Saturday, 9th inat. A settler of Te Rau-a-moa, who is a great advocate for a railway to Kawbia, suggests another reason (of the many} why the line should be made: “ Because it would not be blocked by floods, and could take alt the passengers when the Waikato line was-” We believe that the telephone office at Kinohaku is to be placed in a building to be erected by Mr T. O. Turnbull, who also intends establishing a fttore there. It is stated that feeling is pretty high oyer the matter between some people iu business there. By advertisement it is notified that Mr Thomas Asbbolt has been ap* pointed collector of dog taxes. We trust that Tom will do bis duty in a thorough manner, and thus perhaps some of tho useless mongrels that, assemble in Kawhia may be got rid of.

Spray, spray again, and still spray your potato plants with Sharlahd's Potato Blight Exterminator. It may be a little trouble, but it will pay you when yoa come to dig your crops,* Settlers are advised that subscriptions to the New Zealand Farmer can be paid to Mr Pettit, who has been appointed agent at Kawhia. The paper is profusely illustrated, and also contains many pages of pleasant reading and sound advice. The subscription is 10s per annum. Tho Harbour Board have instructed the owner of the heap of wood on the beach to remove it, but the demand has been utterly ignored. When someone seriously damages their boat the Board might be made to pay, but it will bo then rather late te insist on tho modest request being attended to. We are requested to advise the public that post cards bearing imitations of New Zealand postage stamps will be passed for transmission within tho colony, though the concession is to be withdrawn when the present stock of cards id exhausted. The delivery of such cards beyond New Zealand is forbidden by international regulation.

Make sure of gathering your potato crops by spraying the plants with Sharland’s Potato Blight Extrrminator. It is the surest safeguard you can have against blight.* Mr Percy Cowern, of Rakauuui, was building a hay stack on Wednesday, when tho fork slipped and went into his foot. Little notice was taken of the injury at the time, but the sufferer had to be brought to Kawhia on Thursday night for medical treatment, and under Ur 0. Campbel! Jenkins* treatment is improving. The wound id not serious

A spray in time Hives not n ne, but many times nine, if it be potato plants you spi'sy, and the solution Sharland’s Potato Blight Exterminator,*

“ To discontinue advertising/’ says John Wanamaker, the millionaire, “ 8 like taking down your sign. If you want to do business you must let the people know it. Standing advertisements; when frequently changed, are bettor 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 u mind thst the advertising medium must bo the best obtainable; We can confidently say that in consequence of its large circulation, The Kawhia Sbtidkb is one of the best papers to advertise in.
