A special meeting of the County Council was held on Saturday, when all members were 1 resent except Crs. Phillips and Hopson, The bye-laws, regulating width of tyres to be used on vehicles in the county, were considered and confirmed with one or two alterations. The bye-laws come into operation on Ist January, 190*. The net value of F. A Carrington's estate (New Plymbuth) as certified tcby the Stamp i Office, is £17,239 14s 9d. The new road grader recently purchaser! by the Patea West Road Board has turned out a complete success. VWrk was commence 1 on the strip of road between the Alton Hotel and the factory on Wednesday, the result to the road being very satmactory. All it now wants is a strip ot gravel on the crown. But evidently tbat is not to be. A New Zealaoder who went to the front early in the war kept his eyes open and purchased a coa' -beating property in the Orange River Colony, between Th%ba'Nchu and Ijadybrand, De Wet's esrlier battle grounds. Recent letters from Sooth Africa state that he is now engaging labour, and is likely to I make a good thing ont of the venture, J

We understand from Mrßennell, secretary j of the Harbour Board, that Mr Napier Bell, the eminent marine engineer, and Mr Marohant, consulting engineer to the Boar J, will be in New Plymouth on Tuesday. The teachers class >s which were lately established by the h'dneation Board a-'* still increasing in popularity. There arc 61 on the roll for the morning classes and 58 for the afternoon. The noei of a technical ; school is being very bidly felt now, but the want of a site is still the difficulty, and is no nearer solution than ever. On Thursday, September 17th, the Rev. A. J. Bennett, the popular Anglican Native Missionary, will deliver a lecture in the Whiteley Hall on the "Past, present, and future of the Maori race." Ohair to be taken at 7.30 p.m. by W. H. Skinner, Esq. Collection,—Advt. A large Parliamentary party who came through from Wellington by the mail train on Saturday afternoon went op the Wanganui River on an excursion. The party will return to Wellington to-day (Monday). The opening of the New Plymouth Cricket Clu'i will lake place on Thursday next, 17th, A working bee will be held on Monday to get the ground in good ; c rder, when it is hoped that all who can will attends It js proposed to hold Saturday matches, and all members who wish to play oh Saturdays are requested to give in their names to Mr Medley, hon. secretary. Mr. C. H. Silfaon, advance agent for the M. ¥. Olark Comedy Company is in town making arrangements for the forthcoming visit of the company to Mew Plymouth. According to present arrangement they will open a season here on Tuesday, 22ad inst. As their performaaces a r e of the light comedy order and replete with humouroiu situations and droll acting, it i« juit one of those entertainments that always prove highly attractive. The company is meeting with'tremendous success on the tour. Mr M. Jones has an announcement in this is-ue relative to his famous trotting stallion ttbony. There is no horse better or mo v e favourably known throughout the district. The New Plymonth School Committee has accepted the tender of Messrs Boon Bros, for £2tt for the erection of a shelter shed at the West Infants School. The Edtcvtion Board has promiseda subsidy of £l2 10s, the rest having been raised as the result of two entertainments given; in the .school. The result of these show that the people of New Plymouth are just as williner as thej people in other parts of the e' ucation district to assist the funds of the committee if the opportunity is given to 'thenrto do so. In this case the money was raised without trouble, and the people of the locality provided with two most delightful evenins entertainments. Mrs Dowling and her assistant teachers should be highly gratified at the result, as to them the credit is chiefly due. Some idea of the expense caused to hoteli keepers by the decision of the Licensing Committee to insist on the erection of balconies may be formed by ths fact that the balcony now being erected at.the White Hart Hotel is costing over £7OO. The con- j tract has been secured by Mr R. Coleman, who recently carried out the extensive adrii-1 tions to this hotel. The new balcony, judging by the plans, will be an exceedingly ; substantial structure and a very handsome addition to the building. Our readers will doubtbss have noticed in the newspapers reference to limekilns being established down south by the Government. It will interest Taranaki people to know that several tons of ironwork, including some very peculiar cassing3, are being turned out by Mossis Okey and Rollo at the New Plymouth foundry. The work is in some way under the supervision of the Hon. T. ' Kelly, who is a skillei engineer, and he i* having the work done here under his ow* eye. The plant will be sent to Dunedin the next trip ot the Upolu. A representative ol . the News had a look at th« castings on Saturday and they appear to be particularly clean and well finished. It will probably be news to a good many pesple that the handsome iron column* being used in the election of the balcony ol , the White Hart Hotel are cast by Messrs Okey and Hollo at the local foandry. ! These columns, which <aie about 12 'feet in s length, contain from sowt to 7cwtof iron, . the slope of the footpath' causing them to , vary in length. The base is octagonal, above which is a round fluted column with a "! very handsome floral entablature. Theworh - is most creditable to the local works, and ? shows that people need not go out of Tarn. f , naki for any kind of "iron mouldings and t castings. ' 3 Mr Lister, superintendent of the. Old People's Home, desires to acknowledge with 3 thanks the receipt of a donation of cake? 3 from Miss Page, also a gift of clothing bj j Mr Sanderson. 1 Ors. Tate and Brown are to be congratu--1 Hted on the result of their mission to Auckland with reference to testing the .capabilif ties of Gates' stnnecruaher. which, after me- ' ing others, they pronounce the best. At the - last meeting of the County Council; they j submitted samples of the Waiwakaiho j, boulders after being put through the crusher. It was au object lesson which thei other councillors fait to be irresistible, and a t crusher was ordered. With this machinery, j together with a roller and scarifier, tht. ; County roads should bs well and economically made. When the representative of the News was at Messre Okeys and Rollo's foundry or. ' Saturday, he was shown several samples of i the metallic ear marks and pliers, for fixing I the same, patented by Mr Hall of Lepperton. ! They appear to be admirably a-iapted for th< . purpose, quick in action, almost painless, and do no harm, to the beast or hide, anrl 1 are just what haa long been wanted by the i farmers. Smaller sizes are obtainable for sheep or pigs.' From Mr. Nathan, the officer in charge of , the Government works on the Ohura-rond (who was in New Plymouth- last week), we learn that the burnt papaSsetallitig is standing the t«st of time! "Welfc; The piece pat dowu three yesjs ago(s in'good-order now. ' vffltjiam wag proclaimed a Borough ra ?atufday. SY6m nowhere else will the people of Eltham receive more hearty congratulations on their town attaining to the full dignity of a municipality' than from the people of New Plymo ith. We feel sure every onel- here will wish th" Borough of Eltham and its inhabitants peace, plenty and prosperity. HOLLOWAY'3 PILLS. Weary of life. Derangement of the liver is pne.ot the most efficient causes of dangerous diseases, and the most prolific of those melancholy forebodings which are worse than death itself. A few doses of these noted Pills act magically in dispelling low spirits and repelling attacks made on the nerves by excessive heat, impure atmospheres, over-indulgence, or exhausting excitement: The most shattered constitution may perive benefit from Holloway's Pills*, which will regulate dis ordered action, brace the nerves, increase the energy of the intellectual faculties, and revive the failing memory. By attentively following the instructions for taking these Pills, and obediently pqttine them in practice, the most despondent will soon feel confident of a perfect recovery —Advt.
