The Waihou Football Club are to be entertained at a sooial on Friday evening next. Doubtless an enjoyable evening ■will be spent.

So our boys have lost the Cup. Well, they bung to it manfully. Next year we hope to have it back again. No doubt had the weather been fine and the grouud dry, there would be a different tale to tell. Besides -‘Otto” did not barrack hard enough.

Several more weddings to take place shoitly. Signs of the times. A number of the lads met at the " Willow Inn ” on Saturday night to drown their sorrows in a glass of lemonade. That match was played over in the tap room half-a-hundred times. I bear that another change is shortly to place out here. It is expected there will be a big supply to our creamery when it starts running.

The settlers all speak well of Mackie and Sons Te Aroha weekly sale, and they intend to patronise it. They consider it a good place to either buy or sell at, and we all do a little in that direction.
