TUAKAU SOUTH.

THE SCHOOL SliE. Thus a correspondent:—"There was a large rally of househoklets from this part of the district at a meeting convened by the Progressive League re moving the sclioo 1 ti site n.ar the Ftition As the bulk of the scholars coma from this part of the -district naturally the parents did not want to see their children made to walk up t) four miles to ichool. It will be a tactical mistake on the part of the League to move in the matter, as the unfortunate result will he to divide.the district into two inharmonious parties. We have a sample of divided districts over the river, aad we don't wa'it the sam2 to occur in Juakau." SHOUT OF V..OAL,

'I he coal strike has made itself felt here, and a shortage is beginning to be felt. Thd "Freetrader" has cancelled its weekly trip to Huntly till the mine opens again. BUILDINGS GOING UP. This end of the district is getting rapiuly built up Mr WLodbridgi ia just about to b;iitl a new residence for himself, and Mr L. Logan is erecting a new houae for Mr E. T. Frost. Four new houses have been put up the last few months.

BETTER WEATHER. The tins week has enabled farming operations to be carried out with despatch, and most of the oat crops are in, which tha bad weather delayed. The river is now falling to its normal height, it having been very high for the last two months.
