The Kumara Times Published Every Evening. THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1886.

The San Francisco mails arrived by tram last evening, and were sorted and delivered in town.

The Christchurch coach, which had been delayed by swollen rivers, arrived at 7.30 p.m. Mr Matthew Burnett, the great social reformer and Temperance advocate, will arrive in Kumara to-morrow, and in the evening at the Theatre Royal, will deliver the first of a series of now famous " Pictures from Real Life " in Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. The chair will be taken by his Worship the Mayor, and the united church choirs of Kumara will render a number of musical selections during the evening. Mr Burnett was lecturing at Stafford last evening, Mr J. F. Byrne presiding. Over fifty persons took the pledge on the occasion. Mr D. M'Kinnon, of Kumara, attended on behalf of Mr Burnett's acting committee, to welcome him to this district. Mr Shields attended on behalf of the Good Templars of Stafford; and Mr E. G. Cameron, of the Dunedin Temperance Herald, on behalf of the Templars of New Zealand. Mr Burnett has devoted twenty-three years of his life to the Temperance cause, and has had the cooperation of bishops, premiers, judges, doctors, bankers, and merchants, and, on the other hand, he welcomes on his platform, all, irrespective of class, distinction, sect, or creed.

"You Don't Know Their Value."— "They cured me of biliousness and kidney complaint, as recommended. I had «i half-bottle left, which I used for my two little girls, who the doctors and the neighbours said could not be cured. I am confident I should have lost both of them one night if I had not had the American Co.'s Hop Bitters in my house, to use. That is why I say yon do not know half the value of American Hop Bitters, and do not recommend them highly enough." See
