hopes . :U&larly dead within them. How to put an end to' this wretched state of things is a problem which surely can be 'solved.^ Here -we are Una new country where one may see jimt&ess wres/Jof gQpd land want reelaitningj \ jc^ /vwaht -making} bridges and" .railways want building and yet wf have << thousands of able A and willi^gT inten who are wasting their time; and strength wandering aimlessly in search of work in order to make an existence. In paialag thtttugh this village one^ BannoTOp Wg etriick with tHe number'of churches which look to be more numerous than all the other buildings put together, there being 6 an 4 another being built, while in the whole place there are only 2 stores, 2 boarding-houses, 2 bdot--4 makers, 1 blacksmith's shop and a V dairy factory, but the secret lies in the fact -that within a near radius * there area large number of small farmers, The public school, in Which there are about 200 pupils, is an indication of the population. But, of cpurse, your readers know all about Campbellfcown. What 1 want to poifit blifc la the convenience that exist there for stock drivers staying overnight since Mr Hinks has finished, his new boarding-house and stables close by the sale yards. This house is a very substantial building consisting of large dining-room, 8 sitting rooms, several bedrooms, and a bar when herbal beer and other soft drifckfr dan be had; good enough to quench the .thirst and revive the spirit* of the dusty drover or &b> body else, while good meals and cheap, with civility and attention, should meet the desire of the most fastidious. Mr Hinks is prepared to yard or paddock any number of sheep and cattle that may come wanting to (stay over night, and to drive parties in hia new coach anywhere on reasonable terms* . . PA* SHEEP. Mr Mullins. purchased and staited away a: splendid mob of about 1000 fat crossbred wethers the other day from Carnarvon Estate and arranged with the manager, Mr Langdon, for othef'mbbs to follow. On this estate fr paddock of cape barley, which had • been twice eaten down with sheep in spring, has just been cut by * Mr Poughty, contractor, with his * new " Massey Harris " reaper and binder, and on the same estate a large paddock of oats is about ready for the machine. 29th, J)ec. 1894.
