LOCAL AND GENERAL.

At the Wesleyan Church to-morrow the Rev. J Dukes will preach in the morning on “ The Law of Spiritual Progress,” and in the evening on the “ Universality of the Gospel.” The greatest interest is being taken in the Waikato Winter Show. Entries, which have closed, total 1000, and the promoters are anticipating a great success. All the available space is overapjfiied for, and the huge horse bazaar just erected is found too small for the purpose.

Six different styles of sewing machines to select from. Time payment or cash. See Johnson and Wigg’s stock.—Advt. The Waihi Workers’ Co operative Society’s affairs are still in an unsettled condition, but many of the committee and shareholders confidently anticipate that the Society will come well out of its difficulties. With a view to further discussing matters a meeting of all supporters of the movement has been convened.

We look upon Mr Millar as one of the strongest of the Ministers who have served this colony in recent years, and although the coming session will decide the fate of the Land Bill, that much' discussed measure will have no prospect of monopolising public attention while the Minister of Labour has reforms to propose.—Christchurch “ Times.” Since Adam delved and poor Eve span, Since first the human race began, Mankind has suffered countless ills,

But suffered most from coughs and chills. Foundations they for all disease, But now the haoking cough must cease, For science now makes all secure,

With W. E. Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.

Tenders are invited by the Ohinemuri County Council for the construction of a 1 ridge over the Hikutaia stream, on the Hikutaia station road, to be in by the 2nd of July. The “ Taihape Post ” states that information has been received that Taihape will be the principal changing station for the A uckland-Wellington service, and that £IO,OOO will be spent on improving the railway station. A large shipment of Women’s and children’B hosiery and underwear just arrived, direct from the manufacturers.— L. Cullen’s Te Aroha.—Advt.

A correspondent of the Press at the Palmerston Dairy Show (wires our Christchureh correspondent) says it is understood that the donor whom the Minister for Lands announced had given £IOOO towards the establishment of a Government herd of shorthorns is none other than Mr McNab himself.

There is nothing novel in the proposition that the Leader of the Opposition. for the time being, should be paid £IOOO a year, but there is decided novelty in the suggestion that he should have access to Government books and documents. We can, however, satisfy ourselves on this: That the “ins” will offer the strongest opposition to the proposal, and if the “ outs ” were in they would do the same thing, Oamaru “ Times.”

For children’s hacking cough at night Wood’s Great Peppermint Cure Is 6dand 2 6d. —Advt.

If the opinion of Parliament is sounded at the forthcoming session, we are sure it will be clearly indicated that some provision must be made to prevent the members of the Ministry overworking themselves in the manner they have done. Relief can be granted either by the - appointM.ent of two or more Parliamentary under* secretaries, who would relieve members of the Cabinet of the less im portant part of their labour, or by additions to the rauks of the Ministry. — Gisborne “Herald.” Clearing out our stock of millinery at greatly reduced prices. Big reductions— L. Cullen’s Te Aroha.—Advt. Of late quite a number of prohibition orders have been issued in Rotorua, yet it is quite a common thing to see prohibited persons walking about in an intoxicated condititn. The people who supply drink to a man or woman under prohibition deserve the greatest condemnation, nnT a prosecution and a heavy finee for such an offence would do a good deal of good just now. Another phase of this question is that prohibited persons living, say at Rotorua, think that they are free to go to another town and have a real good soak thinking they are immune from the law. This is a mistake, however, and a prohibition order, while current, and wherever issued holds effect, as far as the prohibited person is concerned, in any part of the Colony,— Rotorua Times.

One of the most useful things in the house is to be bought in Te Aroha at wholesale price, ask Johnson and Wigg.— Advt.

At the Police Court yesterday before Messrs Pavitt and Gavin J.P’s , Amos Beckham was charged with using obscene language at Morrinsville, on June 8. There was no appearance of defendant. Constable Lowry detailed the cir - cumstances and stated that he had served Beckham with a summons, but he had evidently left the district. Beckham had been playing football at Waihou on the Saturday afternoon and had got liquor on the way back, and had gone into a supper room at Morrinsville and used the alleged language in the presence ot two women. Two witnesses were present for the prosecution. The Bench decided to adjourn the case, and issue a warrant for Beckham’s arrest, who had made himself liable for contempt of Court. Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure for coughs and colds never fails, Is 6d and 2s 6d.—Advt. In a Waikato town there is an under taker who vows vengeance upon some one—he doesn’t yet know who. The other evening a message came to him by telephone that there had been a “ gashly ’ suicide in town, and that the police required him to make a coffin of given dimensions in double- quick time and deliver it that night. Getting together his staff and his tools, he burned midnight oil over the job. Well on into the small hours he wiped the honest sweat from his brow, and earted his handiwork round to the police-station. “ What on earth is this for ?” asked the watchhousekeeper. “ Why, for the man who committed suicide to-nigkt.” answered the industrious artisan. “ But my dear fellow,” said the policeman, “he isn’t dead yet, and isn’t likely to be. Someone’s been pulling your leg badly.” There is consequently a coffin to let on reasonable terms, and an iudignant undertaker is looking round with a hatchet for the joker who ordered it. —Observer. i Just landed a big shipment of sewing machines both hand and treadle, ball bearing, and otherwise, no middleman profits, direct from manufactures. Johnson and Wigg.—Advt.. Our Auckland correspondent writes as under :—“ On the recommendation of Dr Purdy the Education Board has decided that at the midwinter vacation all public schools shall be thoroughly cleansed. Of late there have been epidemics among school children of such complaints as measles, whooping cough, and scarlatina. With a view to introducing a more effective method of cleansing than is at present in vogue a demon stration was held at the Mount Eden school. A new patent pneumatic suction dust extractor, recently introduced into Auckland, was used. The machine was one really only intended for cleaning private rooms, but the test was a success, and Dr. Purdy expressed his approval of the patent for its thoroughness and economy. ,r he patent sucks up all the dust, and thus completely removes it. Dr. Purdy said that the machine used was, of course, too small for big buildings but said that they were made sufficiently powerful to be effective in public buildings, and were used at Horae. Dr. Purdy has also furnished advice on tho matter of thoroughly disinfecting and cleaning all the buildings and fixtures.’’ THE “ L.K.G.” RECORD.

The “ L.Ii.G.” is not anew or improved Milking Machine. It is the only machine out of many hundreds which have stood the ordeal of public use, and until it had worked for four years on a number of farms, it was considered impossible to produce a successful milking maohine. Yet immediately this is assurod, at loast a dozoni inventors confidently assuro the public that they have suddenly bit on various designs superior to tfio “ L.K.G.” despite the fact that it holds securely the only successful principle discovered after 100 years of experiment. Talk is cheap, but it costs thousandr to produce a rocord equal to the “ L.K.G.” Role agents, MacEwaus, Ltd., Fort Street Auckland.

Mr H. J. Greenslade, M.H.R., who Was suffering from a severe attack of illness last week, has now recovered sufficiently to go about. Mr Greenslade had made arrangements to address meet' ings in various parts of his electorate, but his illness unfortunately compelled him to cancel the engagements. Berghofer’s is the best place in Te Aroha for small goods of every description —plain and fancy.—Advt. A very enjoyable social evening was held in the Methodist Schoolroom last night. There was a good attendance, and a long programme was gone through Songs were given by Misses Millar, Smith Roget, and the Rev.

Berghofer, of the Beehive Cash Grocery and Bakery. Mr Berghofer has now resumed business in his old shop, which has been practically rebuilt, and has a large and new stock of groceries of every description, which he sells at the lowest prices for cash.
