residents of Helensville South, from the Public Library out. now that the old dug-outs of a past decade^ when HelensvillcSouth was the hub of sawmill town, the tirae_ has come to wipe Heleusville South off the railway time-table as .a stopping stationj and, replace the name with •<vParakai. ?J A large and important township is growing of late out in that direction, owing principally to the mineral springs and baths, and the first-class landsj which are daily growing into popularity, and becoming better jlmown all over the Dominion week by weejk.; indeed the time is coining when the. HofSpringS; !of Hejensville will be as well known as Botorua or Te Aroha are to-day. With • four large private hotels almost, adjacent to^the Springs and a couple~of licensed hotels in the vicinity we dq not. think Helensville South Railway Station would lose its identity by: re-christen-ing it !'Parakai." However, that is for the residents in that direction to consider arid move in? the matter-^i f: they;/care— as~i the Echo is but voicing a suggestion thrown out by others wHo liave no axes -to grinii, or speculation in land on hand. We are willing to receive any correspondence upon the subject, but no column-and-a-half racket, bear in mind."
