Sewing machine for sale. Mrs Luttrell has started music classes. Local milk (owing to scarcity) Jhas gone up to 4d per quart: Marriage may not be a failure, but it begins with a miss-take. Special Bank holiday is announced for Friday, 29th, Anniversary Day and Helensville Show Day. . There's a lot of difference between a man's needs and his wants, and still more between his wants and his gets. The totalisator at Dargaville on Saturday put through close upon £2,500. Who says money is short? Helensville should buck-np. Don't forget that Friday, 29th inst., is Helensville Show Day, and every preparation is being made for the big event and 2000 visitors. You can get anything from an elephant (made in Germany) to a motor car n Dargaville, and even a smile is on the menu card of ths\ Central Hotel, the latter being supplied by Mrs Thompson. Mr Thompson supplied all thirst at the Dargaville (Awakino) races, with credit to himself and the Racing Club generally and everything was most carefully superintended and conducted on up-to-date lines. On Tuesday evening last, while Mrs Bishop, of the Terminus Hotel, was engaged in cleaning a pair of gloves with benzine, she got too close to a naked light. The gloves ignited, and the lady's hands were severely burned. The Railway Department is at last actually improving some fencing round the cottages at Helensville, wherein they stow gangers and such Tike workers. We don't remember seeing anything on the last Estimates providing for this work, and trust it is not money being misappropriated from a new railway station vote. A young man just landed by train from Auckland the other morning, had a touch-and-go for it crossing the line by the gate coming into the main street. When something serrous does occur, the Railway Department may make a move on towards protecting life. At last Helensville has gained a permanent railway stationmaster in the person of Mr Myrams, from Nelson. His domicile will be next the Post Office, the premises occupied by the late stationmaster, Mr Woodhouse, now ruralising at Remuera. We wish the new man a long and successful running at this, the Heaven-born slow railway place of the North. In all her great wars England seems to have been singularly fortunate in having a master mind in control of her army and navy. And now, when Great Britain is engaged in what is probably the greatest war in the history of "the world, Lord Kitchener, is a man in whom the whole nation has full and complete confidence.
