■*- i v From Our < >wu Correspondent, j j This district is still moviug forward and will continue doing so, more especially when the expected railway becomes a fact. The station is pegged out and the road to the station is metalled, and we are all going to grow great crops when it conies. Matters in connection with the local creamery had gut a bit unsatisfactory and a meeting of suppliers was held when a mutual understanding was arrived at between the manager and the suppliers, so that everything should I e id' right in the future and all | will work for the creamery's advancement. Our supply bonus for j last year was 10-lti of a penny, so we are growing very nicely and hope to give Aka Aka a run for top place in the near future. A lecture entitled " Love, Courtship and Marriage among the natives of South Africa," wa- given in the hall recently by Mr Porter, organiser for the No-license League, and was greatly appreciated. Mr Porter, who was one time a Native Missionary in South Africa, had a very interesting story to tell and told it so well that he was revested to come back and give us some more of the same subject. The ladies do not wish to go to South Africa, but I am not so sure about the men, especially the married ones. A meeting to form a Tennis Club was called, but owing to a sparse attendance was postpone;! to a future date. The hall trustees, having purchased ,' of an acre more I land, have a nice piece of ground for a bowling green and tennis lawn, and I am sure would help in the forming of the club. We are waiting for the surfaee- : man to fix up the new metal from the hall to the Pukekohe-Waiuku road. Tt is high time this was done so that we will have a satisfactory road, for which we have waited for a long time. We ;ire very patient people at this end of the Mauku liding. as we are still waiting for Brown's <inilv deviation to be an accomplished fact. At . a meeting of the railway League it was decided to support I the Mauku League in asking the ! Prime Minister to put a substantial grant on the Estimates for the ! Waiuku railway. | _
