MV.&itchell hid "lii^ femjl*. left by the' Quesen.-of the. South 'for?; Wellington on Thursday. For a number of years Mr Mitchell'Ms resided at Moutoa and turned the property he oyaed from a, swamp into a. garden, by hard labour and excellent Judgment*. He has always been ready to help all public matters forward 'and represented his Riding' in the.Mauawati? County Council with marked success. In social matters' he was always a willing participator in claims made upon his time or pocket. Mrs Mitchell is an accomplished musician and her assistance 'in concerts will be very much missed. Both Mr and Mrs Mitchell had a large circle of friends' who regret their departure, aval' who will join with us in hoping that the change may be to their advantage. Ail enterprising visitor did a. little busi-,-ness hi cloth in 'this town, which seemed likely to take the change both out of the pockets' of the purchasers;- and ''Out of the old established business men. The principle he acted on was of -the simplest, just dVdtieiviight say oorf r his -cus-tomers, with five shillings -ready casfr lie'' purchased so much cloth, and straightway walked to the nearest simpleton and sold him the same for fifteen shillings.- It ig so. said, that the purchaser at the last mentioned price decided he had erred and with much trouble secured Ivis money back. .Nothing abashed, our itinerant merchant went straight to another innocent and sold the "goods" for seven shillings and sixpence. It ap- | pears evident that the visitor is both a good judge of "cloth and softies. For the rest of us who have escaped his wiles it is good news to know..4hat; this " enterprising " gentleman has'^een .■ firmly and we trust respectfully", requested to take his business '■aptitude...to,another district. ■ • meeting is being organised at the Gape to : protest against" the Government., proposal? to include frozen meat "under the .heading .of, preserved meats, thus increasing 'the' import duty by 2d per lb. • . - '■■■"■'■ - The.
