The Railway Department'* gang of mtn has very nearly finished its work on the reserves in the Square on either side of the lines. The grass has all been removed and generally a vast improvement has taken place. The annual return, presented by the secretary to the Fire Brigade last erenin#, showed that during Use past twelve months 38 alarms had been answered, Of thoe five were false. The attendance of members had been on the whole very satisfactory. Some unauthorised person has removed the fences erected across Cliff Itoad by the Kairanga County Council to guard the dangerous part just opposite the ritle range. The matter is now in the hands of the police. Mr Ernest Short, of "Waituna, lias received advice that the all - round average of his consignment of 18 bales of lambs wool <Ki>nmey Marsh) sent forward by the s.s. Athenie, had averaged Is per sb. Four years ago the same class of wool was sold in London at s}d, The High School Kx-pupils' Association held their annual social and dance last evening at Whalley's Hall, There was a very good attendance, and all enjoyed themselves to the full. Mr Footc acted as M.C. During the evening songs were rendered by "the Misses Martin and Humphries, and a mandoline solo by Misi Jones. Entries for the Winter Show are now coming in every day, and from the number of inquiries being made for schedules it appears that very great and general interest has been aroused. Intending exhibitors should make a point of getting their entries in next week, to avoid the usual rush which tabes place in the few days just prior to the final closing of entries. It is stated that a small farmer near Levin, whose holding consists of fifty acres, has succeeded in making £700 in two years entirely from the products of his small holding. The returns are principally derived from dairying, but in addition to this source of revenue every attention is devoted to the pro' duction of pigs, also potatoes and other vegetables for market. Mr P. L. Jackson, aetingon behalf tf the committee appointed at the recent public meeting held at Pohangiaa with a view to obtaining a re-adjustment of valuations, has seen the Valuation authorities in Palmerston and on their advice all objections will be formally lodged, but before the sitting of the Assessment Court an effort will be made to meet settlers on the point® at variance. The local committee appointed in ritzlierbert Lust to further the proposal to creet a bridge at Kokowhitu. i connecting directly with the road between Palmerston and the Ej»*i Coast, will wait upon the Pubhq WTo^s Commitree ,°* <!ic * trough Council on eontoSLi*! te T°n' J b °' vork iriuwHt 0 ? , Bor f u g il to the work is 11000, equal to ahout £30 tier year interest, it is understood that if the bridge is erected steps will then be o SmeS 11 f . ti,rou ßk Siberia for rarw| y Tele top. to v e * over no different 4>rt* from 1» (id to 255, at Clarksbn'#.* fclS. fati " s " I,KS u « Boulo. 10 tW - 1:6 »» i

At the inaurural meeting of the rmhape Poultry Society on Monday eu'umg the following ollieers were eleoted:—Joint secretaries. Messrs C h Barvill and A. T. Viekers ; treasurer! Mr T. A. Gar rate. It was decided to have a committee of twelve, live only being elected at the meeting Tbev were Messrs E. Eobinson, W. An sr. »S. Adatns, T. J. Shute and J. P.' Aidridge. The remaining seven will be elected at a meeting to be held on Monday next. The annual subscrip. tion was fixed at ss. A very creditable and smart piece of work is being carried out at the Show grounds by Mr Sheppard, the contractor for the additional hall for the Winter Show. The roof is already on and the sides are nearly finished. Tlie Association expects to be able to take possession on Wednesday next. Had it not been that some difficulty was experienced in procuring the material the jab would have been finished to-day. The addition will provide a line spacious hall measuring 150 feet long by GO feet wide. In connection with the coronation of King Haakon, recently elected to the throne of Norway, Norwegian residents in the colonies have decided to collect funds for the purpose of presenting the lung and Queen with a fitting memento of the auspicious occasion. The Melbourne and Wellington commit tees appointed for the purpose have combined and Mr C. L. Petersen, of Palmers ton North, has been appointed their local representative, and will collect funds in aid of the object stated. Mr Petersen is already in "receipt of sums from several Norwegians resident in the districts. The monthly meeting of the Fire Brigade was held last evening. Ju the absence of Superintendent Tin gey act-ing-Lieutenant Barnard occupied the chair. There was a full attendance of members. The Borougu Ccuncii sent an official intimation as to the details in connection with the proposed reorganisation of the Brigade. It was stated that applications had been invited for the post of Superintendent, but that it had been considered advisable that the successlul applicant should have an opportunity of conferring with the Council to tnc elaboration of the scheme. For this reason nothing further could be done until the selection had been made. Ihe Brigade decided to hold a smoke concert on Friday next in lieu of the annua, dinner. At it the long-service medal* and bars will be presented, it was resolved to convey to the agent for the new hose the Brigade's appreciation Ol its satisfactory qualities, 'lwo transLer> were granted, one each to Hastings and Hinuevirke. This brought the strengui of the Brigade down to 28, but inM<.-> of probable changes it was not thoug w advisable to appoint anyone to the vacant positions. The very satisfactory total of oo entries was received for the Clarion Koad Kaee, which takes place on -Jurn. ■S:li. The handicaps will be out on th. 2sth inst., but will not be made pubi c property until the official progianmi . Lsued.' This will be done on the Satin: dav before the race.

Judge Chapman during his stay at Ciisborne a few days ago experienced the sensation of a mishap to a motor car. He was being taken for a drive in the country. Two cars were travelling close together at a fair speed, when it was found that the road was suddenly blocked bv a dray. One car, with His Honor on board, took the ditch, the other went slap into the dray. Both motors were somewhat crippled, and the Judge was sent back to town in a buggy. A Gisborne syndicate which has taken up the development of a mine of fullers' earth in the Thames district have struck a very good thing. There is a mountain of this mineral, easily mined and requiring no other treatment but.crushing and screening. It is of high value and in large demand not only for toilet purposes. but is used largely in woollen works for taking grease out of wool. O'.her Gisborne folk are interested in the development of cinnabar measures, which h-tve long been known to exist at the Thames, the miners there have but one thought, and that is gold. Samples of cinnabar shown here appear to be very heavy with mercury.
