The Mail has over 90 subscribers between Manulahi and Stratford, [t’ It O M OU Jl CO Ult K Si'UN l> KNT . J E RANCH OFFICE OF THE HAIL. Monday Evening, Forty-two applications for deferred payment sections had been received by Mr C. A. Wray at Hawera, when the list finally closed this afternoon. Twenty sections had not been applied for at all here, but wc don’t know what applications may have been received at the Patea Land Office. You can inform the public on that point. Mr Thomas Lloyd, of the Empire Hotel, has leased the house to Air J. H. Cook of Wellington, Mr Bate completed the transaction last Saturday. Possession is to bo given on the first of next month. The Churchmen of Hawera have been promised £230 towards the erection of a church, but they do not seem to be able to decide where it should be erected. A site was granted by 1 the Government, near the Railway Station, but there is a feeling that it is too far away, and also that the section hereafter may become very valuable from its position. They are thinking of buying a more central site ; and thus the matter is hung up at present.
