Mangaiti Notes.

(Own Correspondent)

The last few days of fine weather has hid a beneficial effect on the roads.

'Now that the shooting season is at an end there are plenty of wild ducks about.

I understand that as a result of the recent inquiry, at least one individual will be missing from the railway staff. The supply at the factory is very small just now, but in the flush of the season we expect it to be considerably in advance of last year.

attendance at the public school is keeping up, and the children are making good progress under their teacher.

As we “ live in a no-license ” area, none of the inhabitants are suffering from aerolitis. No ships—flying or otherwise—have been observed since Admiral Johnson’s “ Dreadnought ” made its memorable trip.

Everything in this district is much the same as per usual. There is still a good deal of water about. Owing to the superabundance of willows along the river banks, it takes the water all its time to push its way out into the Gulf. Kindly contradict a rumour set afloat that we have had a buggy accident down this way and that a Miss Webster and Mrs Rowe and children were injured and brought into Mr W. Mace’s house. It is a case of going from home to learn news. Perhaps it refers to an accident reported in your columns, whereby a Miss Wheeler and Mrs Fred Rowe and two children were capsized out of a trap opposite Mr John Mace’s Te Aroha Poultry Farm, near the railway crossing.
