Mr W. Q. Whyte, the patentee of the Tallow lamp, purposes severing his connection with the railway at the end of the month, and will return then to his farm on the Moutoa road. . , Mr George Coley is starting a second stripper, and so is Mr Austin. » Flax seems yet a profitable occcupation l

Tendera are wanted for forming a sod ( bank. A prohibition order was this morning granted against Walter H. Alzdorf , to apply to all licensed houses io Foxton, The N. 2). Presbyterian in its last issue republished the verses "Ivy" whioh appe . -ed in our columns some months ago, contributed by our esteemed correspondent R. D. An appreciative notioe heads these verses, Land about the town is looking up in prioe. Mr George Hughes hv.l the satisfactory prioe of over £15 an aore offered for his farm, but like a wise man knew when he bad got a good thing, and prefers to keep it, To those who desire to propogate fruit trees we might mention that this is the month most suitable for grafting, Verandah's are the order of the day. Sinoe the long verandah has been ereoted in front of Messrs Loveday's and Hamer's shops, other traders have cried out for similar oonvenienoes, The result being that Mr Robinson is going to put one up for the Butchering Company's shop, and Mr Honore one in front of the two > small shops alongside of the one he occupies. We understand that Mr Rutherford's mill will work an hour and a half a day longer now. George Smith, who it will be remembered had to go to the Wellington hospital to get his jaw opened, has so far recovered as to be able to return home. He is still very weak but his jaw is nearly all right, excepting that a couple more teeth will have to be extracted as soon as he has picked up a bit, We are glad to be able to mention that Smith has expressed himself very pleased with the attention shown him in Wellington, and is muoh obliged to our member, Mr Wilson, for his assistance in getting him into the hospital. •' Snowed in " the three aot Comedy that the Foxton Dramatic Club will produce on Tuesday next is given to provide some funds for the benefit of Mrs Carroll, who was lately left a widow. We expeot even for this reason the oompany would meet a good house, but when we can say that the piece is very am tising, that there are " incidents" and that the performers have worked hard to do their best to please their patrons, they will meet with support on these grounds too, and because they will give a quid pro qou for the oost of admission. { Tbe Feilding Star says :— The delegates toom the Feilding and Palmerston Racing Clubs, who went up to interview the Metropolitan Club in Wanganui on the subject of the Palmerston Club encroaching on a day hitherto oooupied by the Feilding Club, returned this morning. The result of the the visit is very unsatisfactory. The Metropolitan Club were evidently quite unable to oope with the difficulty, and in an invertebrate jelly fish sort of way, passed both programmes, saying that they did not see how tbey oould interfere. The confession of weakness shows how false is the position they hold, and the necessity whioh exists for oountry olubs to be represented on all self-styled Metropolitan Clubs. We are quite certain that had a decision been given adverse or in favor of either Clubjit would have been cheerfully upheld by both ; but giving a verdict neither one way nor the other is unsatisfactory to both parties. All that the two Clubs have now to do is fight it out to the bitter end. Frederick Newman, manager of the Otakeho Dairy Faotory, Manaia, who has been missing during the last fortnight, was found on Saturday, hanging in a room attaohed to the factory. At the inquest, whioh was held on Sunday, a verdict was returned of suicide during temporary in* sanity. A paper was found, dated Ootober last, stating that he knew he should go mad and kill himself some day. He was a steady, temperate man, and his books are all right.. Newman had no relations, and lived alone. When missed at first people thought he had gone for a holiday. We have the very best authority for stating, says the N.Z. Times, that there is not a word of truth in the assertion that Mr Ballanoe is going Home as AgentGeneral. The result of the proceedings in the Distriot Court against G. A. Tapper has resulted in his being sentenoed to 6 months imprisonment. Mr Jellicoe intends to appeal on behalf of his oiient. A man named North has committed suicide by shooting himself at Makuri. He left a note, saying he was tired of life. It is supposed he was one of the unemployed, but no further partioulars are to hand. Look at the prioes of our Surplus Stook in the Mantle Department.
