LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Mr A. K. Admore, who underwent an operation in the Palmerston Hospital on the 12th inst., is making satisfactory progress towards recovery and will probably be well enough to return to his home at the end of the week.

“Mother” writes protesting against the price of bread in Foxton and suggests that a public meeting should be called to discuss the advisability ol starting a municipal bakery “which is o! more concern to working people with families than municipal gas.” Our correspondent indulges in language which we cannot risk publishing, hut would probably be more elfective to the parties concerned if the writer communicated them by word ot mouth. We understand that a reduction in price is soon to he made.

Tire level railway crossing has accounted for another accident, this lime at Dannevirke. 1,. Stein and R. B. Varton, two well-known business residents, were riding home, the former being on a motor cycle and the latter in the side-car, when they collided with the express train. The cycle was carried over the cattle stop, and Stein and Varton were both ejected from the car. The latter is unconscious, and it is feared iris skull is fractured. Stein has sustained a broken leg and other injuries.

The High Commissioner reports that the British Fleet in its recent attack destroyed the Ostend breakwater, fortifications and all enemy boats and works. The German losses reach thousands. There were large congregations at the local Presbyterian Church on Sunday, when the Rev J. H. Bredin conducted his first services. He is an eloquent and forceful speaker, and created a very good impression on the congregation. The Rev W. Raine, vicar of All Saints', Foxton, has offered his services for a chaplaincy at the front. The rev. gentleman's services at the Rangioiu Camp aie much appreciated by officers and men, with whom lie is very popular. A free matinee for children will be given by Messrs Fuller’s at the Town Hall to:morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock, to enable the little ones to witness Ihe famous recruiting picture, " Will They Never Come?” also a series of authentic war pictures taken during the great conflict in the western theatre. This latter is the first anlhen Ic picture of the French army in battle. Sir A.. Conan Doyle "pictures” armour shields pushed forward by infantry to protect their rushes against machine-gun lire. Such shields were used during the last days of the Cuban war by the United States infantry. They were the invention of the late General Roy Stone, the father of Lady Monson. The shield, hinged on high wheels, lay horizontally, and carried the impedimenta ol the marching soldiers when it was not in use vertically. "I am certain,” says Sapper Leo Poff, at present at Gallipoli, " that if a tally could be taken of the men who have been connected with the Boy Scouts, and who are in this force, the result would be absolutely surprising. At every turn one meets them, and you might tell the lads from me that they can’t do better than slick to their game, and play it for all it’s worth. The whole programme of training, as I think over, it now, is as practical and as valuable as can be.” H. E. Lodge, late Hurowheuua County Council clerk, was -arrested at Rangioiu training camp on Saturday, charged with intent to defraud by omitting to enter particulars of receipt of ,£32 iSs 2d. He was brought to Levin and remanded to appear before Mr Poyntou, S.M., on Thursday, September 23rd. Rail in his own recognizance of ,£IOO and two sureties of each was allowed. Five other charges ate pending. An accident whereby a boy named Raymond Hocking Moore, nine years old, whose parents reside in Leith Street, Dunedin, lost his life occurred last week. The boy was in the habit of " playing soldiers,” using little sharp pointed sticks, and it is supposed he ran one of these into his right eye. No one saw the accident, but another boy heard him crying and took him home. Moore was taken to the hospital, where he died, meningitis having apparently set in. The most serious fire since iSSS occurred in South Nnrsewood on Friday when a block of shops and the Salvation Array barracks were destroyed by fire. A howling gale was blowing at the time. The barracks caught first, spreading from there to Rickets’ fruit shop with nine-roomed dwelling attached, also to Bartlett’s saddler’s shop and blacksmith’s and wheelwright’s shop, all owned by Rickets. Mackie’s store caught tire, also the Junction Hotel, but the llames in these were suppressed before ranch damage was done. Hulema's furniture store was also destroyed, and the Lutheran hall caught fire, but the flames were extinguished. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating,” and the only proof you can obtain ol our high qualities and lip-lop values is by dealing with the "store that treats you well” -Walker and Furrie’s.
