An epidemic of summer sickness is very prevalent in Levin at present, especially among children. The symptoms resemble mild influenza and in some quarters are attributed to overindulgence in bathing at the baths.

The Levin Horticultural Society, however, will be holding its autumn exhibition on Tuesday, March Oth, and it is hoped that all the many supporters of the Society will do what they can to make the show a success.
