TOKOMARU NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) The tennis court is now well on towards completion, and players are looking forward with keen interest to the opening games. Tne weather, which has hindered work, seems to have settled now, and progress with the lawn will no doubt proceed quickly. Mr Stevenson, our local blacksmith, met with a nasty accident last week. He was motor-cycling towards Shannon when he collided with two cyclists, and was thrown from his machine. He was taken by Mr Liggins to Shannon, where his shoulder was found to be dislocated. He - was afterwards attended by Dr. Barnett, of Palmerston North. His many friends will be glad to hear that he is progressing favourably. Mr H. Buckman, of Shannon, who was one of the cyclists, had his leg slightly injured, hut is now about again. Mr Grady, who has been absent for some time, has returned to Tokomaru and is having his bakehouse put in order. He intends to start business again, and may extend operations as far as Shannon. It is rumoured that the iocai millowners intend to join hands and put all their flax through the one big mill here, thus reducing the cost of production to a minimum. The flax available would not be sufficient to run all the mills. Farmers are taking full advantage of the good weather of late, .and harvesting is in full swing. i E. K. Lincoln, in the Pathe super special, “The Inner Voice,” will he screened here or Thursday evening.
