The report of the Hungahunga Drainage Board meeting held on

Saturday is held over until next issue.

Mr H. McCallum, representative of Messrs Irvine and Stevenson, of Auckland has been spending a week’s holiday in Te Aroha, and returned to Auckland to-day. Mr E. H. Hardy of Waicrongomai is now established in business in Te Kuiti, under the style of the “ King Country Land and General Agency." Algerian seed oats now to hand, buy early and save money. Johnson and Wigg.—Advt. At the County meeting yesterday Mr Gavin, the Chairman, said that if it were not for the Paeroa steamer service, the people of Waihi would starve —the railway could not supply them quickly enough. The apportionment for charitable aid in Waikato Board’s district is as follows :—Waipa £755 16s, Piako £719 7s, Waikato £633 17s, Raglan £491 13s, Hamilton £l9B Is, Cambridge £lls ss, Te Aroha £B9 Is.

At the meeting of the Hungahunga Drainage Board held on Saturday last it was decided that the sizes of all drains be reduced and fresh tenders called, which are therefore advertised in another column. Miss Holden announces in another column that she will hold a dancingclass for juveniles, commencing on | Saturday next in the band-room at i 2.30 p.m. Miss Holden was a pupil! of Mrs Sowerby of Auckland, and by opening these classes will no doubt fill a long-felt want. At about ten o’clock last night the electric light failed owing to the emptying of the reservoir at the Tui. The reason for the failure of the

water supply from the three different burnings is not yet known, but it is supposed that accumulations of boulders and leaves over the gratings at the dams were responsible for the stoppage of the supply. In a replace advertisement Messrs Irvine and Stevenson call special attention to their famous St George

. brand of jam, which is so rapidly increasing in public favour. As an | excellent jam its quality is unquesj tioned, and an additional feature is added in the provision of a patent screw top for each jar. Blue ribbon condensed milk is a colonial production of excellent quality, and as such will no doubt meet the approval of all patriots. An inset in this issue reminds our readers of the large stock of new and choice goods just opened up by Mrs L. Cullen, who intends to keep in the front ranks of the drapery business. Mr Cullen has had a wide experience in the production of up-to-date models in ladies’ jackets and costumes to measure for some of the largest Auckland houses, and this department will continue to be a feature, and style and fit may be relied upon. Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure for Coughs and colds never fails, Is 6d. —Advt.

“ Every prohibition order issued applies throughout the whole colony,” said Mr Graham, S.M., at the Dunedin Police Court on Thursday," therefore a person against whom a,n order has been taken out is forbidden from entering a public-house in any part of New Zealand, and not, as is generally thought, only in the .districts specified. When a prohibition order is said to apply in the licensed districts of, say, Dunedin, Caversham, Chalmers, and Taieri, it means that notices are sent to publicans and brewery proprietors in those districts only; nevertheless, the order takes effect throughout the whole of New Zealand, and a prohibited person cannot legally enter any hotel in the

colony.” Grass seeds going out fast, samples and price not to be beaten at Johnson and Wigg’s.—Advt. Progress on the Main Trunk Railway is causing many farmers in the southern portions of Hawke’s Bay (says an exchange) where the land is hardly as productive as some of them wish, to make anxious inquiries as to the fertility of the new country being fed by the rapidly advancing

arterial line. Most of the dissatisfied settlers have had more or less successful experience in the dairying industry, and, according to a farmer who comes from Dannevirke way, are now anxious to turn their attention to grazing pursuits, at which, if the gross profits are not always as

substantial, the nett returns are infinitely more consistent with the expenditure of labour, and the condition of life generally. Misses Lavery, always to the foie in their particular line of business, are now making a grand show of choice winter millinery at their show-rooms opposite the Palace Hotet Customers cannot fail to be suited. —Advt. Thus says the Daily Chronicle in its “ Office Window ” column : —The

At Thursday’s meeting of the Ohinemuri County Council the Chairman moved, and it was carried 1 that the Railway Department be asked to at once to supply meters to to measure the amount of water supplied to the trains at Paeroa and Karangahake railway stations. At yesterday’s _ County meeting Councillor McGloin expressed great dissatisfaction at the poor quality of gravel put on the roads. He did not consider it was the foremen’s fault. He thought the Council should make an effort to get some better material for the roads. Councillor McCaw said the only way was to raise a loan. Clearing out price on floor covering to make room for big shipment arriving shortly. Johnson and Wigg. Advt.

; University of New Zealand is seeking i a supplementary Royal Charter to enable it to confer degrees of a de- * I cidedly novel character. Among them 1 ! are Bachelor, Master, and Doctor of Commerce, Public Health, Agri- • culture, Engineering, Dental Surgery and Veterinary Science. The initials that will denote these new academic distinctions may conceivably lead to embarrassing mistakes. For instance a City magnate who has been made a Master of Commerce may be taken for a professional Master of Ceremonies during the dancing season, and a Master of Public Health may be considered some new brand of legislator. But it is not yet quite certain that the Privy Council will advise his Majesty to sanction this academic departure. The Hon. W. Pember Reeves, High Commissioner for New Zealand, has been in consultation with Lord Crewe on the subject.

On the Mataraata side of the Hungahunga district there is a large tract of Maori land known as the Whangaroa and Matamata North. The Maori Thompson is the leading spirit amongst the owners, who recently held a meeting and sent in a price for the land at the Government’s request, so that in all probability it will soon be purchased and cut up. George Andrews, Rochester, Victoria writes: —“My occupation of a rabbit trapper obliges me to be out at night attending to the traps, and while so doing I contracted a severe cold. After trying other cough mixtures on the market, I was recommended to give Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, a trial. This gave me immediate relief, and three bottles completely cured me. I can with eyery confidence recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy to anybody haying a eoiigh or cold/’ Fo? ■ sale, by Johnsoß and Wigg agents j

A SUCCESSFUL SEPARATOR At the Agricultural Show of the Deutshoe Landwirtschafts-Gesell-s-chaft held at Berlin last June, the members of the Jury, Messrs Dr. ■ Sfartiny, Dr Nachtweh, and Prof. Dr. ' Vieth, recognised that owing to their . ingenious construction, the Baltic Hand and Power Cream Separators 1 deserved and should be tested at the * Government Dairy Institute at Ilameln under the supervision of Prof Dr Vieth. These tests have now been completed, having lasted three months, and on account of the excellent results obtained, all machines have been awarded the Society’s Diploma of Honour and Great Bronze Medal. This award has only been made on three . previous occasions since 1887. Agents, J B. Mac Ewan and Co.

The Borough Council meets on Friday next April 19th.

The Education Board calls tenders for a school building at Piako Valley. On St. George’s Day, the 23rd inst., the Government offices throughout the colony will be closed. We regret to chronicle the death of Mrs Ashley Innes (nee Bush) which occurred at Hawera on Saturday afternoon. The deceased lady had been ailing for some weeks and matters assuming a critical aspect her relatives were summoned on Saturday, but death intervened before they could reach her. The late Mrs Innes was the eldest daughter of Mr R.S. Bush S.M., and was only married three months ago. The Rev. J. Blight, who leaves Te Aroha this week to take up his his duties at Thames, was most unfortunately unable to preach his farewell sermon at Te Aroha Methodist Church on Sunday evening last, owing to a seizure of heart affection. Mr Blight has worked strenuously for about nine years with scarcely a holiday of any kind, and his medical adviser has now ordered him to rest for a month. On enquiry this morning we were pleased to learn that the reverend gentleman is already feeling the benefit of a rest. “Forewarned forearmed,” remarked the sage, And now when winter’s bleak winds rage, Forearmed is he and well armed, too, Who holds a safeguard ’gainst the crew Of ills that come upon the wind, And that safeguard you’ll always find In medicine that’s safe and sure,
