The scow Reliance left Onehunga on Wednesday for Kawhia with a load of bridge material. Tbe s.s. Morayshire, due in Auckland next month, is a horrible example of a full ship. She has stowed away 20,000 cases and 1,000 casks of Scotch whisky. You have soaked your seed in Sharland’s Potato Blight Exterminator and your plants are now looking well.

If it were made illegal for a tradesman to give credit above a certain amount, or for a longer term than 8 months or even a shorter period, under a penalty of being unable to recover same in a court of law, the pernicious system of giving long credit for almost unlimited periods would entirely vanish.—Manaia Witness. The Observer says that when Sir Josepeh Ward estimated tbe cost of the big Christchurch show to the colony at <£85,000, he was miles out of his reckoning.

A rash on it. What ? DERBY Tobacco, FLAKE CUT, in TWO OUNCE TINS. All tobacconists.

There are twenty-two railways in an > incomplete state being carried on by fits and starts, or so slowly that those working on them have passed from boyhood into old age, and will die and be buried alongside the lines on whose partial construction they have spent the whole of their working days.

Willis, candidate for a seat on the Feilding Borough Council at the forthcoming election, given by himself at a recent meeting:—“l have a very thick skin, teeth like a shark, I can fight and hang on like a bulldog, I am as tame as a rabbit, I have courage, I hope, and I fear no man.” What sort of a borough do they have there to require a man like that? Seven years experience has proved every claim made for Sharland’s Moa Brand Egg Preservative. In ail that time not one egg has been lost when directions have been carried out. It simply cannot fail. One pint bottle preserves seven dozen eggs. See that the name is on the laoel.*
