In connection with the Atount Stewart pioneers memorial, Air. Joseph Jackman, of Feilding, has donated £5 towards the cost of the structure, which is being erected by Mr. W. Wilkinson, contractor, of Feilding. At the Feilding Presbyterian Church to-morrow the services will be taken by visiting ministers from the Bible Class conference. In the morning the service will be conducted by Rev. Dr. J. D. Salmond, director of youth work of the Church, aud the preacher at the evening service will be Rev. T. G. Campbell, of Kaikorai, Otago. The large steel standards being erected on the vacant section at the junction of East Street with the South Street intersection in Feilding has given rise to no little speculation as to the use they are to be put to. It is learned that the power board has acquired the property and the tall standards are being erected to support transformers in connection # with the main power lines into Feilding.
