LOCAL AND GENERAL
I Ratepayers should pay their rates before Wednesday if they wish to avoid the infliction of a ten per cent penalty being added thereto. See advertisement. Lieutenant Powell, of the South Australian Contingent, who was killed during the fighting at Itensberg a few days ago, was related to Mr C. S. Pyne, of Thames, being second cousin to that ! gentleman. Boer prisoners have stated that the reason the English artillery fire is ineffective against the Boer trenches is because the trenches are formed in the shape of the letter 8, which afford freer movement and greater protection than if they were merely constructed straight. It is said the formation is borrowed from old Basuto methods. i Mr McMillan, representing an Ameri can iron firm is at present on a visit to Auckland. He predicts a fall in the price of iron after July next. Householders and prope y v n >rs are cautioned against making any sendee connections from the water pipes till urgent contract for laying same is completed.
