TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1907. LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Ihis above all—to thine own self be true , And it must follow as the night the day 7hou canst not then be false to any man Shakespeare.

Owing to an oversight the services of the Church of England were unavoidably omitted in our last issue. At the Takapuna races on Saturday the winning double, Millie in the Empire Handicap and Duart in the Royal Handicap, paid the sensational dividend of £797 17s for £l. The Northern Milling Company has again advanced the price of flour, owing to the great scarcity of milling wheat in the South. The quotation now stands at £lO 5s per ton for sacks. For Bronchial Coughs take Wood’s Great Peppermint Cure. Is 6d and 2s 6d. —Advt. Whilst working in Koromikostreet the Borough employees have got quite tired of being complimented upon the improvements they were making. Some of the remarks of passers-by, especially the gentler sex, were most emphatic. A new locomotive has been shipped at Dunedin for the Auckland railways, and will arrive on Saturday. In June the Department commences the daily goods and passenger train between Frankton and Taumarunui, replacing the extra train which ran three days a week. Pure wcol blankets, beautiful quality from 19s 3d up —L. Cullen, Te Aroha. —Advt}.

Before wrongly accusing us of “ cribbing ” news, our contemporary should be sure of its own faultlessness in that respect. We will just quote one glaring example. On Saturday, April 20th we gave the report of a Borough Council meeting which took place the previous evening. Our contemporary did not trouble to send a representative to the meeting and consequently no report appeared in its Saturday issue. But on the following Wednesday the “ Mail ” contained a whole column of the same report, copied word for word without acknowledgment of any kind. 1 Our contemporary believes in doing a thing thoroughly whilst about it. Did you ever s f op to think that Chamberlain’s Pain,Balm is an antiseptic liniment and when applied to cuts, burns, bruises, causes them to heal without maturation, and in about one-third of the time of any other treatment ? —For sale by Johnson and Wigg, agents,

His Worship the Mayor of Hamilton, Mr J. S.TBond, has received from the Royal Humane Society the medal and certificate which have been presented to Mr J. P. McGarrigle for saving life at Hamilton, with a request that it should be handed over at some public function. Mr Bond will therefore perform the ceremony at the ball to be held on Empire Day May 24th.

Men’s pure wool underwear at less than Auckland price.—L. Cullen, Te Aroha —Advt. We would remind our readers of the second Oddfellows Pound Social to be held in the Public Hall on Friday next, Empire Day. The successful nature of the last of these socials will be remembered,-and the committee are sparing no efforts to make them still more enjoyable. Neat programmes will be provided, which will be much appreciated by the dancers. A special floor will be prepared, and the music (provided by the Te Aroha trio) will be of the best. Everyone is not looking for hard work. A whisper to these, buy, or rather get a trial of our OK washing machine, and see if this does not suit you. Johnson and Wigg.—Advt. The annual congregational meeting of St. David’s Presbyterian Church, Te Aroha, will be held in. the Church, Te Aroha, on Tuesday evening, May 28th, when all members and adherents are requested to be present. OK ! Yes, there are lots of things that are OK, but our washing machine beats the lot. Try one. Johnson and Wigg.—Advt, At the smoke concert on Monday night, Mr Rosser, the union representative, received a severe scathing at the hands of Mr Montague. He claimed that farming was the backbone of the country, and objected strongly to creamery managers being paid double wages for holidays. The people who were responsible for the progress of dairying in this district, were the farmers’ wives. (Applause He said it was absurd for canwhackers to receive £4 10s a wjaek—it would cripple the industry. For children’s hacking cough at night Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure Is. 6d and 2s 6d. —Advt. It is quite time that the railway authorities adopted a more reasonable system of shutting the gates at the railway bridge. The plan of keeping road traffic waiting perhaps over an hour for a dilatory train, is altogether an injustice to those who contribute towards the upkeep of the bridge for the privilege of using it. There should be some certain means of knowing, by electrical communication or otherwise, when the trains depart from Waihou, so that there would be no necessity to close the gates until that time. A choice lot of millinery just arrived, made up in Auckland under Mrs Cullen’s supervision.—L. Cullen Te Aroha. —Advt. Although two isolated cases of acute septicaemia have occurred in Auckland, it would be folly to regard the matter in the nature of a scare, for recent experiences in Sydney have shown that whilst modern sanitary science has unfortunately not been able to prevent a few cases occurring unexpectedly, that the disease can be prevented, by using proper precautions, from spreading to any wide extent. The occurrence is nevertheless a sad one for the relatives of the victims, and will, it is to be hoped, prove a reminder to the Auckland authorities to pay deep attention to the sanitation of their city.

We only want half a wink, and our old black horse will be at your front gate with our OK Washer aboard. Two washings, a trial free. Johnson and Wigg’s.—Advt. We do not suppose that the bad state of the roadway in front of Hazlewood House has escaped the eyes of the Borough Council’s energetic Works Committee, but we hope that this spot will be the scene of early operations, for in wet weather it is simply a quagmire, and footpassengers from Church-st to the Domain entrance are ankle-deep in mud whilst crossing Boundary-st. What is required is a good metal crossing from Mclndoe’s bridge to the Domain entrance, and if possible, a few loads of metal on the roadway in front of the boardinghouse.

There was a large attendance of settlers at the Public Hall last night when a complimentary smoke concert was tendered to Mr G. Garrett, late Government Valuation Officer of the Piako County. The chair was taken by Mr T, Gavin, the popular chairman of the Pinko County Council. Among those present we-e Mr Herries, M.H.R., and Mr Jas. Shaw (ex Mayor of Adelaide and Cool gardie) and an intending candidate at the next general election. During the evening a presentation of a bag of sixtyfive sovereigns was made by Mr Gavin on behalf of the settlers. Mr Garrett brieflyt replied thanking them for the magnificenpresent and also for their kind express ions of appreciation. A number of toasts were given and responded to during the evening, with musical honours. Owing to lack of space our report is held over until next issue.

EFFECTIVE MECHANICAL MILKING. Mr S. Turley, of Wairenga, writes : 1 “ I have pleasure in stating that after two years’ continuous summer and winter use of the “ Lawrence-Ken-nedy-Gillies ” Milking Machines, I am thoroughly satisfied with the effectiveness and general working of the machines. One important feature is that any intelligent boy can manage them after very little instruction. There are no ill effects on the cows, rather the reverse. To the farmer’s assistant it is not like the same work, —pleasure taking the place of drudgery. For full particulars write to J. B. Mac Ewan and Co. Ltd. Sole Agents, Eort Street, Auckland.

, We would draw our readers attention to the advertisement in this issue in connection with the Military Tournament, to b,e held on the Show Grounds, Hamilton, on Friday next (Empire Day), May 24th. The Te Aroha Cemetary Committee and Waihou Domain Board met yesterday evening in the chairman’s (Mr Pavitt) office. Amongst other business transacted was the appointment of a secretary in place of Mr A. Laybourn, who bad to resign on account of leaving the district. Three applications were received for the position : Messrs F. Wild, H. Jackson and Geo. Deverell ; the latter receiving the greater number of votes was appointed. He was the cotter's only child, They called him Little Jim, And Death with scythe and hour-glass had Called round to wait for him ; Thn mother wept, the father sobbed, For death looked very sure, But Little Jim’s still in the swim Through Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
