TE HORO.

EXODUS OF .PROMINENT SETTLERS. there is shortly to be an extraordin

ary exodus of prominent settlers from Te Horo. Owing to the phenomenal land boom a large number of properties have lately changed hands, and many. of the changes "ill be given effect to at about the end of the present month. Consequently, in a l<:w weeks' time.

many familiar faces will be absent from To Horo. and doubtless they wilt be much missed. Mr G. P. Cadey, who has sold his property and i< to move to Levin, has been one of Te Horo'a most live and energetic workers for a great mu*y years past. He has taken a very k«en interest in local affair*, and has had a long and honourable career an member of the Horowhenua Coanty Council, and in the earlier days on the

old Te Horo Uoad Board. He has, also been one- of Xa Horo's most active patriotic worker*, president and a mov-

ing spirit in the Hantere Bifle Club, and has, j a fact, been % ideutified with

practically every local movement. ->i.essr« Spiers Bro*. will also be much missed—Mr C. J. Spiers snore particularly—he having been chairman of tin school committee, chairman of the Te

Horo CVop. Dairy Co., Ltd., an indV

fatigable patriotic worker, a hockey enthusiast, and altogether a shisirjg light in progressive little Te Horo. • Mr Eli Allen, who is still resident in Te Horo, though he has disposed of hhi farm, has also been prominent ia hbhml wrmahlfx, patriotic and Dairy Company matters, as weH sw being a! foremost worker for the Aaglkao Ch-oreh. Mr W. W. is the present of the whml eemawtlee, ia nhkh capacity he ha* g&owa mneh energy. He, too, ha, bee« a di/eetor of the Co-op.

on the 28th inst., and leaves To Horo about the end of the month, after a stay of some thirteen years in the district. He will enjoy a lengthy holiday before again settling down to farm work.

Hiss Jcffery, who has won golden opinions from parents and children alike during her stay in Te Horo as assistant teacher at the school, leaves next week, having received an appointment to a iuarlborough school. She will carry away with her the best wishes of all.

A movement is afoot to secure a number of scuts for the local school grounds. It has been suggested that several of the departing public-spirited men present to the school committee scats for this purpose, the seats to bear -the names of the donors. liy this means the memory of the givers will 1)0 perpetuated, and the seats will also / serve as peace memorials. It is undcr- * stood that several have already signified their intention to fall in with* the suggestion, which, wo understand. t emanated from the present chairman of the committee (Mr W. AV. Westaway). The Te. Horo Peace Memorial Committee has not been by any means idle, and has done good work in preparation for the peace celebrations, so that, when the festive occasion comes along Te Horo will do its part worthily. Already about £lO has been collected in Te Horo, and this, with the subsidy available, should enable the committee to make a good display in the big function to be held at Otaki.
