It was decided to make Thursday, 14th April, the opening day, instead of Easter Monday, as previously. The subscription was fixed at 7s 6d for members and 2s 6d for boys under 18 years of age. The resignation of Mr. Crombie, who for the last three years had teen president of tlie club was accepted with regret, as he has always taken a keen interest in the welfare of the Ciub. While accepting his resignation as president the club elected him a life member, the first so far elected. A special vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. G. Ward, the retiring secretary, to whose energy and interest the present successful position of the clulb is largely due. A vote of thanks to the retiring officers concluded the meeting.

A nasty accident, which might have been attended with serious results, took place at {hat part of the road where the metalling is proceeding just now. It appears that a heap of metal had been left on the side of the load, and Mrs. Brown, of Egmont Village, driving in to meet the express train, failed to notice it, and the gig was capsized, throwing her and a little boy, the only other occupant, into the road. Mrs. Brown was lucky enough to escape with' nothing worse than a severe shaking.

The Primitive Methodist bazaar was opened on Tuesday afternoon bv his Worship the Mayor (Mr. H. B. Curtis). Mr. Curtis, after delivering a short address suitable to the occasion, escorted the ladies' committee to afternoon tea. The hall was tastefully decorated with greenery and draperies and presented a very pretty spectacle, the tancv costumes of the stall-holders blending with the decorations. Miss Harding, in gipsy costume, was in charge of the plain-sew-ing and pot-plant stalls, Misses Bennett and Clark, attired to represent the red, white and blue, the confectionery, sweet and refreshment stall. The produce stall was under the capable management of Mr. Tayior, while Misses Rodger and King presided over the fancy work stall. During the evening there were nail-driv-ing and sawing competitions fir ladies, and needles's to say, many dainty fingers suffered and amateur first-aid was much in request. Another interesting and amusing item was a hat-trimming competition for men. Some of the efforts were truly startling and local milliners will have to look well to their laurels. The band was in attendance during the evening and was a decided' acquisition. A feature of the evening was the singing of Miss J. Smith, of Greymouth, who charmed ail appreciative apd enthusiastic audience. A tableau, ''Rule Britannia, and her Children." Miss Harding filling the role of Britannia, was also much appreciated, as was an action song, "The Wheels of Time." rendered by the children. The effort was an entire success, and a word of praise is due to all the iadies of the committee and especially to Mrs. Hobson, the president, and Miss Harding, the secretary. The Salvation Avmv Harvest Festival was concluded in Monday night, when a company of New Plymouth Salvationists rendered a service of song, entitled "Betty Lewis," at the local hall. There wav a large display of produce, and the decorations were exceedingly good, and the effort was in every way a record .for Tnglewood.

IRRITABILITY. Do you feci out of humor and think that everyone has a grudge against you because everything seems' to be going wrong? It is you that is "wrong," and it is your liver that has the grudge against you—"possibly because you are not treating it well. You have given it too much work to do, and when it wanted a gentle laxative to set it right 3'ou neglected to attend to it. To set your liver right, to make things go well, and to make yourself feel good all over, take a course of Chamberlain's Tablets' and you will be more than pleased with the result. Chamberlain's Tablets are unsurpassed lor irritability. Sold, by all chemists and storekeepers
