NT The latest news concerning the King is to the effect that His Majesty is out of immediate danger, but that recovery will necessarily be protracted. Mr R. McKenzie telegraphed us at 3.35 p.m. to-day as follbws: —The new Motueka Electoral District boundaries are the same as formerly with Murchison|and Upper Buller added. f A general meeting of shareholders the Motueka Fruitgrowers’ Co-opera-tive Society was held last night, when there was a very good attendance. The proposed rules were read over and after some minor alteration, approved of. On the motion of Mr H. Everett, the meeting passed a hearty vote of thanks to the provisional directors for the time they had devoted to the reading and revising of the draft rales submitted by the Society’s solicitors. Sergeant Deck, of the Seventh Contingent returned to Motueka on Saturday afternoon, being escorted from the Moutere by members of the Motueka Mounted Rifles, to which he belongs. Upon arriving at the Post Office the returned soldier was welcomed back bv Mr W. Moffatt, in the absence |of His Worship the Mayor. Trooper Miller of the same Contingent, reached Motueka per steamer yesterday. References to the King’s illness werr made at the religious services conducted in St. Thomas’ and the Methodist Churches on Sunday last, special prayers being said and appropriate hymns sung. At the first mentioned Church, the Rev. Thomas Johnston alluded to the death of Bishop Cowie, the Primate of New Zealand, which took place last week.

The public of Motueka are under a debt of gratitude to Mr A. Manoy for his action in coming to the assistance of the members of the Brass Band by paying the balance of money due to Messrs Begg and Co, of Dunedin, on the instruments. For some time past efforts have been made to recussitate the organisation. The request made to the Borough Council some months ago by a sympathiser for assistance and help, was not responded to, and at the last moment it was left tor a private citizen to offer to advance the money to prevent the seizure of the instruments and the wiping out of existence of the Band. As will be seen by a report elsewhere, three trustees, Messrs Manoy, Knapp, and McFarlane, have been appointed, so that there is every hope of the Band being again placed on a satisfactory footing, both financially and otherwise. A special meeting of the M >tueka Council will be held on Wedevening to consider the question of river encroachment. To Prevent Croup, begin in time. The first symotom is hoarseness ; this is soon followed'by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognized and will never be forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is freely given, all tendency to croup will soon disappear. Even after the croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. There is no danger in giving this remedy as it contains nothing injurious. It always cures and cures quickly. A. Manoy sells it.'
