The proposal of Messrs Rankin and Sons to erect a butter factory at Ngatimoti has been most favorably received by settlers in that locality, who have promised to support the enterprise this year and to increase their herds forthwith. In his speech Mr Rankin referred to the beneficial results accruing from the dairying industry in the North Island, and pointed out that similar results could be looked for here, where land, now carrying a limited number of cattle, could be improved and made to give more satisfactory returns. It may also be pointed out that wherever dairying has been carried on with success land has been greatly enhanced in value.

The balance of the raspberry pulp belonging to the Motueka Fruitgrowers’ Syndicate is to be shipped to Wellington this week. Mr Findlay, who is superintending the shipping of same, expects to land it in Wellington in time for despatch by the Karamea, which sails for London on the 10th instant.

The Ngatimoti cricketers are at present collecting subscriptions in aid of their club, and so far have received encouraging support. It has been suggested that if a number of Motueka ciicketers and their friends gave a miscellaneous entertainment, to be followed by a dance, at Ngatimoti, on behalf of the Ngatimoti club, the action would be highly appreciated.

The services at St. Thomas’ Church yesterday were conducted by the Rev. Jas F, Snee, Anglican Minister stationed at Cheviot. There were good congregations both morning and evening.
