The corner of Boundary road and Russell street, Koxton. the -cone of the motor accident wherein Mr. W. A. Waters, engineer to the Mniiawa In-Oroua Power Hoard, received serious injury, wa.s dismissed at Tuesday’s meeting of the Mnnawnlu Comity Couneil.

Mr. S. 11. Baker, a well-known resident of Hastings, has just received a post earil which has taken sixteen years and ten months to reach him through I lie Post Office. It has quite an interesting history. Addressed to Mr. S. 11. Maker, “The Pines" Foxtail, it was posted at Hnnnylliorpe on September 7, 1908, and Mr. Maker received it in Hastings last Friday. It was evidently forwarded to its present address hv some member of the Foxlon postal staff, who knew Mr. Maker’s whereabouts. The message contained in the card, was, fortunately, not very important, and Mr. Bilker has not been a great sufferer by its delayed delivery. Halt a mile it month, the speed in this ease, is pretty slow, and even llie Americans could not do much better than that in the way of slow motion. —Auckland Star.
The last match! A picture exhibited at the London Art Gallery recently quite look the fancy of smokers. T( showed two men who have come to a halt on a lonely road miles away from shops or even houses. One of the twain, pipe in mouth, has just struck “The Last. Match,” and is shielding the feehlcllame with his hands while his mate is eagerly watching. Like all good pictures, .this one tells its story at a glance. Smokers never really appreciate the ’blessing of tobacco until, owing i.o some mischance, they are temporarily deprived oil it. As to lhe harmfulness of smoking, it is nuiiuiy a question of nicotine. The less nicotine the better. Some ol: the importt»(] brands contain an excess of nieotine and their habitual use is bad. If you want a really pure article, try our New Zealand grown tobaccos, toasted, because that is essential. The refined product contains very little nicotine and may be freely indulged in with safety. Ask for “Kiverliead Gold," mild; “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium; or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bulishead), full strength. Advt. 47
