The report ot the annual meeting of the Foxtou Presbyterian Church is crowded out of this issue, also the report of the civil action, Hamer v. Hartley, heard at the local S.M. Court yesterday. At a meeting of the stewards of the Foxtou Racing Club, held last night, Mr D. Proctor was appointed caretaker. At the local police court this morning, a man named Daniel Muir, who had been over-indulg-ing in intoxicating liquor yesterday, was convicted aud discharged. Mr Hornblow was the presiding J.P.
Foxton drapers defy competition in general drapery, Roslyn Clothing, Blankets, Rugs, Flannels, Unshrinkable Underwear “Delta” finish and Warner’s famous Rust-proof Corsets.* The head teacher of the local State School acknowledges with thanks, donations of plants for the School gardens from Messrs Walsh, Thompson and Walton, and of several loads of flax vegetation from Mr Rose. We remind readers of the special meeting of the C.K.M.S. to be held in All Saints’ schoolroom this evening. The vicar is anxious that there will be a good attendance, as everything depends on the enthusiasm shown at the meeting. The meeting will commence at 8 p.m. sharp.
Public attention is directed to tlie beautiful photo of the- celebrated Maggie Papakura on the cover of the Roslyn Writing Pads only 6d each, including 100 sheets fine blank paper, from drapers and storekeepers.* At yesterday's sitting of the Magistrate’s Com! judgment for plaintiffs was entered up in the following undefended civil cases : O. 11.

Will the Massey Government wear well, equal say, to the Roslyn Allwool High-grade Clothing and Unshrinkable Underwear “ Delta ” finish ? If so, New Zealand will have reason to be proud of its new Prime Minister.* The continued wet weather of late has had the effect of restraining larming operations generally, and owing to the saturated state of the soil, ploughing and other necessary work in the preparation of land for cropping has been materially interfered with. The effect of the recent heavy rains is especially noticeable on the land in the Wanganui district, where the clay subsoil prevents the rapid absorption of excessive moisture, with the result that agricultural land and pastures are in a very moist condition.
Yesterday afternoon the pupils of the local State School assembled in the quadrangle to bid farewell to Miss Smith, third assistant teacher, who is relinquishing teaching to take up matrimonial duties. The head teacher expressed the regret of the pupils and staff at the departure of Miss Smith, and on their behalf presented her with a handsome set of silver-backed brushes, comb and mirror. Mr Gabites suitably responded on behalf of the recipient. Hearty cheers for Miss Smith brought the proceedings to a close, .•un At the Magistrate’s Court yesterday, orders as follows were made on judgment summonses, in which the judgment debtor did not appear : —W. C. Howan was ordered to pay G. H. Stiles 14s id forthwith, in default seven days imprisonment in Wellington prison ; T. H. Gingell to pay M. H. Walker 5s 8d forthwith, in default three days imprisonment in Palmerston prison, and the same defendant to pay E. E. Snow £2 9s 6d forthwith, in default the same penalty as in the previous case.
There may be observed at one spot in the township of Wanganui a peculiar contrast of the apparent semi-civilisation of the Maori and the more or less highly advanced civilisation of the European. On the western bank of the river is to be found a well-established camp consisting of five or six tents inhabited by natives, while in close proximity are the pretty Moutoa Gardens, backed by the stately Court House and other large buildings. The female inhabitants of the tents go about their daily duties with as much careless indifference of the inquisitive glances of the pakeha as though they were far removed from the usual bustle and hurry of town life.
