We are pleased to report that .Miss Ina Robinson, who recently underwent an operation for appendicitis in a Palmerston N. private hospital, is progressing satisfactorily. Mr Thoumine, of Sydney, paid a . brief visit to Foxton yesterday. In conversation with our representative, Mr Thoumine said that the first rainfall lie had experienced for six months and two weeks was in Te Kuili. “I went down the roajd-djarc-hoaded to get a soaking” said Mr Thoumine. The,yi-itor was particularly iiuprtiK'Sed with the neat, appeiUylftde of the main thoroughfare and surprise at the splendid;«easide resort. and Mrs W. H.
