A quiet wedding was celebrated at the local Presbyterisn Church yesterday afternoon by the Rev J. H. Bredin, when Charles Hazlett was united to Miss Hemmingsen, daughter ot Mr and Mrs Hemiugsen, of Foxton.

If Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is taken at the first symptom of a cold there is no danger of pneumonia or other infections, for being an expectorant it clears out these culture beds, thus preventing germs getting into the system. For that reason alone Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the best remedy you can use for colds. For sale everywhere.—Advt. See the large assortment of Chocolates and Fancy Sweets at J. M. Kelly’s.*

A rink of bowlers from the local club, D. Whibley, Nye, Hislop and Ritnmer, journeyed to Shannon on Saturday, to take part in the Shannon Club's annual tournament, but rain prevented any play taking place.

It was moved at the last meeting of the Levin Borough Council to obtain the names of all men in the Horovvhenua district who had gone to the front, with a view of having the list posted up in the Council Chambers, and also to obtain the names of those who, though eligible, have not yet volunteered for service. After discussion it was decided to ask the Horovvhenua County Council to take the necessary steps. It is understood that the census will not be taken this year owing to the war. It is not certain yet to what date it will be postponed ; but meanwhile it is very probable that a rearrangement of Parliamentary constituencies will take place on a system yet to be adopted by the National Cabinet, but which will give the North Island its due proportion of seats in view of the population development, and the drift from the South. An officer on the s.s. Wahiue, writing to his wile in Wellington, says : “We had quite an interesting time coming back from Melos, and the Wahine has the honour of getting the first submarine in the Mediterranean. We sighted the submarine about a mile astern of us. The first shot went just over him, but before he could get down again we had another one on to him, and we saw a cloud of smoke come up—and that was all of the submarine. We nearly got another, but: he managed to get down before we could get one on to him. Our guns are fine patterns, and the submarines are very shy of a ship with guns mounted. We proving ourselves such a useful ship that there is very little chance of our getting off this line for some time to come.”

Mr Robert Jillett, well-known in sporting circles on this coast twenty five years ago, has been killed as a result of an accident at Pio Pio in the King Country. “Bob” Jillet, as everyone called him, resided on different occasions at Foxton, Palmerston, Dannevirke and Otaki. Some twenty years ago he was licensee of the old Telegraph Hotel at Otaki, and later drove a coach between the township and the railway station. He was a keen sport, an ardent footballer and athlete, and being of a genial disposition, and a ready wit, he made hosts of friends. Mr Tom Jillett, of Otaki, is the only son ot deceased.

A case presenting rather unusual features is at present puzzling the minds of the staff at the Oamaru Defence Office (says the North Otago Times). A certain recruit, whose keeuess to go is undoubtedly genuine, has on two occasions had railway passes necessary for the journey to Treutham posted to him, but has so far not received one of them. It seems reasonable to think .that the communications from the Department are being intercepted by someone who has chosen this rather dispicable way of preventing the would-be soldier doing his plain duty.
