Mr Stanley Fowler notifies that he will run a special coach to Richmond on Wednesday 7 morning for the convenience of those who desire to attend the Nelson races. The coach will leave Richmond for Motueka on Thursday evening, after the conclusion of the races.

At the last meeting of the Riwaka Road Board, Messrs Bate and Drummond mentioned that the spa 1 rows and

finches had visited the hop gardens in Riwaka in thousands, picked out the heart of the fruit, and thereby lessened the yield very considerably. The imported birds are developing extraordinary tastes nowadays. Messrs Cook, Fry, and Woolf are the members of the Riwaka Road Board who retire this year. Mi Fry, who is a practical and sensible member of the body, intends to offer his services to the ratepayers once more, Mr Cook has not decided, and Mr Woolf will not stand, on account of the distance he has to travel to attend the meetings of the Board. The election takes place this month ; paiticulais as to date of nominations and poll will appear in the Motueka Star.

Mr J. W. "Welch, representing the well-known Chamberlain Medicine Company, has just paid his annual visit to Motueka for the purpose of calling upon the local agent, Mr A. Manoy, and arranging an advertising contract with the proprietors of the Motueka Star. Mr Welch, who has been associated with the Company for the past six years, during which time he has visited every town and village in Australia and New Zealand, informs us that the company’s preparations are held in high esteem all over the .vorld on account of their healing properties. By judicious advertising, business enterprise, and offering to the public a bona fide article, the sale of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm is steadily 7 and surely increasing ; everyone who has once used it becomes a willing and voluntary champion in advocating its use as a family medicine. Speaking at the meeting of the local branch of the Farmer’s Union on Saturday evening, Mr Everett said that Motueka had never been better represented in the House of Representatives thaii by a member living away from the locality—a statement certainly complimentary to our present representative, Mr Roderick McKenzie, and in this case true, for even his political opponents agree that if Mr Me Kenzie can help the constituency 7 in any way, he spares neither time nor trouble to give effect to the wishes of the electors.

Miss J. M. Hornsby, who possesses high qualifications, notifies that she has resumed lessons in pianoforte and theory. In connection with the examinations for. R.A.M. and R.C.M. for which pupils are prepared, we may state that candidates who desire to send in their names to the official -examiners must do so before the Ist of May, the examinations taking place in October next. The theory class is held on Mondays at half past three o’clock in St Thomas’ schoolroom. Miss Hornsby’s address is “Stonevcroft,” Motueka. Mr H. A. Tarrant, Town Clerk, has received word from the counsel to the Municipal Aasociation of New Zealand to the effect that lodgers, are not entitled to vote at municipal elections, as a resident must pay ilO a year rent before he is entitled to a residential qualification. A meeting of those interested in the formation of a football club for Mtoueka are requested to meet at the Church of England Sunday schoolroom on Wednesday evening at half past seven o’clock. We hope to see a good attendance of young people. STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS. Henderson Grimett, of this place, was stricken with partial paralysis and completely lost the use of one artn and side. After being treated by an eminent physician for quite a while without relief, my wife recommended Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and after using two bottles of it he is almost entirely cured. — Geo. R. McDonald, Man, Logan Co., W. Va., U. S. A. Several other very remarkable cures of partial paralysis have been effected by the use of this liniment. It is most widely, known, however, as a cure for rheumatism, sprains and bruises. Sold by A. Manoy, Motueka.
