LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Last evening crowds visitc.l Hetheiingtons Ltl., Te Aroha branch, and were simply entranced at the beautiful display of new season’s goods just opened up. A constant stream of ladies and gentlemen, principally the former, wended their way round the various tables and counters to the strains of sweet orchestral music by the Te Aroha Trio. The various windows comprised (1) Summer dress goods and trimmings ; (2) muslins, delaines and parasols ; (3) prints, zephyrs, embroideries ; and (4) men’s mercery and clothing. The dress department contains exclusive designs, dress lengths. In the print and cotton goods department the centre table presents novelties in a new range of creponnes in beautiful colourings; the second table contained white boxed robes and beautifully embroidered blouse lengths. The boot department contained a beautiful display of everything that appeals to the sterner sex. The whole display reflects the greatest credit on the manager (Mr C. Rayner) and his staff.

We draw special attention to IMr John Williams’ new advertisement in this issue.

The misteltoe, which the Druids are said to have cut from oak trees with billhooks of gold, for the plant was a sacred object in religious ceremonies, is seldom found on oaks to the present day, although it abounds on many other trees, to which its presence is always eventually fatal. Such, at least is the case in France, in the regions such as Touraine, that were once the special home of the Druids. Nearly 200 tons of mistletoe arei annually exported from France to England. In the Methodist Church on Sunday.
