Gahagan’s Economic. The action of the Gymnastic Club, in holding their last social, notwithstanding the boisterous weather has been the subject of much favourable comment, and the ladies of Te Aroha havcPTesolved, as some compensation to the Club for the financial loss they sustained then, to give them a return social. We hope, as the object is a worthy one, that all lovers of dancing will patronise the event, especially since, as on Tuesday last, the members of the Gymnastic Club have proved their willingness to help others.

The male parishioners of|the Anglican church, Aratiatia, assembled in full force during the week and erected a very suitable fence round the church property.

Altogether the fence and gates have greatly improved the appearance of the church property.

Not to be done out of their meeting, the Committee, headed by Chairman Marychurch, took a header in through the nearest window. We left.
