Mr Symes, jun., is having a concrete residence erected on his small farm on the borough boundary. The party which visited Arapeti Camp on Wednesday evening both made enjoyment tor themselves and also gave others a good entertainment. The music for the dancing was one of the features of the evening. The little daughter of Mrs Exton had the misfortune to fall from a round-about in the school grounds last week, and break her leg. The little sufferer was attended by Dr. Evans and removed .to her home, where she is making a good recovery.
