Miss Lonta Mudford lias returned from a week spent in Wellingtn. The weather continues fine and hot, and the dry spell vas causing the milk supply to fall rapidly when, owing to the destruction of the Mangawhata factory, and the fact that several of the suppliers have transferred to Taikorea, the factory is working at capacity, four vats being full, and 40 cheeses being manufactured daily. The first and second assistants from Mangawhata provide the extra labour. On Saturday, in Tnikorca’s first match since December 18, the Carnarvon tennis team visited here.
