The Only Paper published in the Matamata County

Mr A. Oldham, a candidate for the Rotorua seat, has a notice in this issue. Tenders are invited for the erection cf a residence at Matamata for Mr A. Stewart. The hackney entire Britain’s Pride will. be at the service of horse-owners at Peria Road this season.

A meeting of those interested in the erection of workers’ dwellings in Matamata will be held on Tuesday evening next. The Matamata A. & P- Association invites tenders for the purchase of the old show grounds of fourteen acres. Tenders close Friday, Oct, 30th. One hundred and seventy-nine acres of first-class Matamata laud, the estate of the late V. L. (Jack) Miles, will be sold at the Matamata saleyards by the Farmers’ Auctioneering Company. As the quality of the land is fully recognised by district farmers, and with easy terms of ingoing, there should be keen competition. We understand that the freehold property which has been advertised for the last thred weeks, situated in Tower Road and adjoining Messrs Pomeroy & Co., containing 2 quarter acre sections, has changed hands at £2BOO, and that the buyer is Mr William Goodfellow, of Hamilton. This speaks well for the future of Matamata when business men from other towns are willing to invest.

Writing to a local resident on the question of the value of land and the work of settling soldiers upon it at its present price, Mr H. M. Skeet, Commissioner of Crown Lands, says: “It will be generally recognised that seeing that the Dominion has no guarantee whatever that the price of its primary products will necessarily remain at their present level, any attempt to settle discharged soldiers at the highest present level of market price would represent an extremely dangerous ' policy for the Lands Department to undertake." Each vea.g-Jras"39ffri the name of steadily and surely advancing in the esteem of people interested in automobiles, and 'each year it has become a more familiar - word to everyone, until now it is just as well-known to people of most remote parts of the world '-'as it is in the reader’s own vicinity. ' Like the name of a staple Commodity, the word “Buick” is now familiar to all and is known to stand for an automobile honestly made of first-class materials by expert workmen, working according to the highest standards of that scientifically organized manufacturing system which has attracted the attention and admiration of the people of the entire world, and upon which they have _ placed the stamp of approval by purchasing in the last twelve \ months forty million dollars’ worth of goods marked “ Buick." This “world-wide” approval is a guarantee that is worthy of the reader’s thought.—Advt.
