OHAKUNE NOTES.

From OuriOwn Correspondent

A great many complimentary' references are being made in regard to the excellence of the accommodation and management generally of the boardinghouses here, and it is* pleasing to note that the efforts of the proprietors ®f the houses to give satisfaction are appreciated by those who stay here, and it is freely stated 1 that the accommodation ot Ohaknne is second to none on the line. Messrs Wilson, Wilkie & Co. repork that they have effected several sales of land recently at satisfactory figures, and that the tendency of the market is on the rise. \ Mr Marsh has added another eight rooms to his already commodious house, the Club. Mr Spinks has opened: a new shop in Main Street as a painter and paperbanger, and no doubt will do well, as he Is a first-class and reliable workman.

Mrs Pearson’s Trooadero is being well patronised, especially in the afternoon tea line. The management of this place is very creditable. Mr Canning, the is having a month’s holiday. Visitors to Ohaknne are much struck by the beauty of the laaes which are about two miles from town.

Some of the mills have resumed work, and there Is every indication of a prosperous time.
