Mr Robert Row, tbe Auckland merchant, accompanied by hie wife, spent a few days in Kawtia last week. The i.s. Rothesay will bo nut on » letnpowiry ‘‘gridiron” on Monday next for inspection by au official of tbe Govern men'. Ou the first Sunday in February tbe llav. C. E. Davidson will conduct service. at Kawhia 11, Oparau 3, Te Rau-n-moa 7.30. Mr Northcroft, S.M., will attend a court at Wednesday, next, 29th met. Not many oases are set down for hearing. Local sports aro advised t bat end ries for sumo of the events to bo c intested st Rakaunui on February B.h close on Thursday next, 30th inet. On 'he noini of going to press —e learn that Mr Teasdale, of Te Awamutu hue been nominated for the election for member of tbe Auckland Land Board. Persons who require a firat-claas piano on very easy terms are advised to road tbe new advertisement of the Loudon and Berlin Piano Co., on our back page.* In auptber column Mr G. H. Mackenzie, of Oparau, that he bus been appointed a director in the Legno Success Club (America), and will be phased to answer enquiries, The death occurred at Kawhia on Tuesday of Mrs G. Jecklin, who had reached tbe ripe ege of 77. The deceased had been a sufferer for years, and for I he past seven year, was paralysed. The funeral took place on Wednesday, the Rev. 0. E.' Dtvidson oorductiug the bnrial service. A newspaper in Flee', Street boasted tbe other day (bat “Loudon recently held two kings and three queens—a good hand." The answer came pat from across tbe herring pond : "But New York always bolds four aces and and a deuce." The retort of the London paper scored: “Anda few knaves.” During tho past week several par - tics of Waikato people have been camped at Oparau, greatly enjoying the change. In one camp there were 12, which included the Rev Clarke and H.wkioe and their wives ai d family epent a pleaaant week at tbe ferry under oanvasa. Tho very dry weather experienced lately haa been responsible for ratb* r severe fires in this diotriot, as many old clearings were ignited, and though the damage for the time being will be heavy, tbe ultimate good, in tbe cleaning up of logo, etc., will more than counter-balance any lose felt new. In oases the dwellings had to be watched very carefully. From the Raetibi paper, we learn that Mr Bowater, who proproses oontesting the Taumarunui Parliamentary seat, te a farmer now resident in Feilding. Hehas large landed interests at Okahune on tbe Main Trank Line, and will probably remove there at an early dale. Mr Bowater, with numeenns others, took up the land in the district with tbe intenticn of milling the timber. They, however, found that the line would be too long in coarse of construction, and, to makes living, took up dairying. SMOKERS, PLEASE NOTE The famous DEBBY Tobacco is now sold in TWO OUNCE TINS, FLAKE CUT. Try it. At the last meeting of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce a letter was received from the Chief Engineer of tbe Roads Department in reply to the Council's request- Lr the making of a trial survey of ■ road from Waikato io Kawhia, ViaKaramu, through the MoeJAC'gi Block, to the effect that there appear io be already quite a sufficient number of toads either made or laid out in the district referred io and therefore it is not considered necessary to lay out tbe road asked for—The letter was received and it was decided to bring the matter before tbe Prime Minister on bis approaching visit to the district. We are in receipt of “New Zealand Town and Country Life," the new issue of the “Farmers Weekly and Land Agents’ Record.” (Jonsidesablaohanges have been made in tbs appearance of tbe paper, the columns gs.in an additional two inches in depth and smother tour pages have been added to' the paper, wbinh now consists of 86 pages and cover. The additional space is largely utilised tor tbe publication of matters of more general ntoreat than are usually found in a paper devoted exclusively to farming matters. Ths illustrations are topical in character, and, as all are the old farming features of the paper are retained, while the magazine and news swtions are considerably strengthened, the paper should gain considerably in support from ths reading public.
