It is to be hoped they are hero to stay. This place has changed hands twice since Mr Wood left about 18 months ag°- * , , We are pleased to hear that one ot the Judd Bros., who bought out Mr J. C. Connor’s farm some 12 months ago, intends residing on the property shortly. l Since purchasing property', Messrs Judd Bros, have been living in Toko. 1 ,

1 things generally- are quiet about Here at present. ■ 1 Mr F. Seymour is" ’very busy pitting a ‘ fine crop or maize, which was about lift. 6in. in height. I may say that this crop was grown without manure, which speaks volumes for the quality of the Tututawa land. Messrs. Simpson Bros, are also making ensilage of a very heavy crop about the same height, 1 sown down ’ with lewt. of ’ superphosphate. The same plot grew a similar crop last year nearly 12ft. high. Mr and Mrs Perry are absent from Tututawa at present on a visit to Gisborne.

We are pleased to hear that Mrs Fred Bayly and her youngest son George have arrived in England after an eventful voyage, having been on board the Turakina when she took fire, and had to re-embark at Rio do Janeiro.

Miss Moir, teacher of the Mangaehu school, we are sorry to hear, has sent in her resignation and is leaving for her parents’ home in Australia.

On Wednesdady quite a sensation was caused in Tututawa by the appearance of an agent who was seeking to acquire rights for oil boring. It is understood, he was successful in obtaining rights on a number, of properties.
