GORE
[Promour own Correspondent.] The process of making history for Gore seems to have • had the bottom knocked out of it lately, for, what with the low price obtaining for produce, and the comparative collapse of the farmer’s friend [old ten per cent] there is literally nothing doin» > . Still, there is a tiny outlook in various directions. The Croydon rabbit factory is putting through some 25,000 bunnies per week, thus starting a little money in _ circulation. Then a little courage is imparted to our very few speculators by the fact of our electrical engineer getting his plant in order without the usual quantity of gas. [This is a pun.] What a fright they must have received to account for the fact of on ; y one Goreite being a shareholdei in the Electric Light Co., and he belongs to Invercargill. [This is a bull.] Our new railway station is open, and the old one in course of removal, probably to Balfour. ? I notice a good many tradesmen s signs in course of • renewal and alteration, and I also notice that most of the work is in the hands of a foreign artist, owing, probably to the want of push or the existence of “ dead horses ” on the part of our local brushmen, for in no other way can I account for the anomaly.
