The sole Matamata boardinghouse has been sold by' Mrs Connell to Miss Kerman, of Auckland. The latter will take possession on October 19th. Mr G. G. Bell is still indisposed in his home and the Matamata office of Messrs Hampson and Bell is in charge of Mr M. H. Hampson in consequence.

Among the purchasers of pedigree Jers% stock at a clearing sale at Waihou this week were Messrs J. W. Finnerty and A. Day, of Matamata. Mr Finnerty secured eight head. The Roman Catholics have been __Buccessful in securing the services ofTatter-Taylor as a priest for the Matamata district. We understand that Father Taylor will not be in residence until after Christmas. In our report of the Sunny Park Co-op. Dairy Co.'s annual meeting we omitted to state that in addition to the Is $Hd paid to suppliers last season an additional 2%& per lb butter-fat is to be distributed. On Monday morning the little boy of Mr Reynolds was riding to school when the horse fell and rolled on the boy, causing a severe injury to the left shoulder. He had to bo taken to Mr Darragh's house and was attended by Dr Carolan. At the recent horse sales held in Cambridge, Mr W. S.

In an advertisement in this issue Mr Malcolm Larney announces that he is contesting the Rotorua seat at the forthcoming election. Mr Larney, although a man, is an old settler of the district, having been born at Tatua. He is now residing at Rotorua, The application of the Matamata racing club for March 20,1920, as the date on which it wished to hold its next race meeting, has been approved by the Auckland District racing committee. This date is the Saturday following the Thames meeting and will conclude the country circuit "How are we to keep horsemen and drivers of vehicles off the footpaths when we form them," asked Mr J. Mclntyre, when road works were under discussion at the Town board meeting on Monday. The chairman said the Government Estimates showed that it was the intention to station a constable in Matamata, "and surely the matter could be left to him."

" I would like you to consider attending to the road past my place while attending to other roadß," said Mr J. F. Vosper, on Monday. '* This rOad wants backing up," said Mr Vosper, who claimed that he was speaking in the interests of other ratepayers besides himself. The chairman stated that the matter would be attended to when a grader was secured for the town area. A warm tribute to the energies and business acumen displayed by the members of the' Matamata halt committee was paid by the chairman of the Town board at the latter's meeting this week. He said the hall would be of distinct use to the board and an asset to the town. The committee's work, however, would possibly not be recognised in its true worth, for the work of publio men was seldom recognised as it should be. The board decided to take over the hall on behalf of the town. Mr W. D. Home, manager of the Bank of New Zealand in Morrinsville, has received notice of bis transfer to Masterton. Mr Home came to Morrinsville in April, 1911, when he, opened the Permanent branch of the Bank ere. Mr Home has always associated himself with and taken an active interest in all progressive movements. The establishment of the combined bowling, tennis and croquet club was largely due to his energy. His departure will be regretted by many friends throughout the district, who will wish him good fortune in bis new sphere. Mr K.G.Hume, at present manager atKaitaia, will be his successor. Mr Home expects to leave Morrinsville in about ten days.
