INGLEWOOD NOTES.

(From Cur Resident Correspondent.) The weather has indeed treated Inglewood leniently during the past month. The rainfall for the month totals 2.12 inches, as compared with 8.30 for the month of April in 1!)09. Quite a large number of friends assenf.'k'd at the railway station on Monday morning to wish "God-speed" to Mr. M. J. Crombie, who left by the mail train for Wellington. Mr. A. Morton returned from Taihape. where he has been engaged on Box Company business, by the mail train on Monday night. For the nine seats on the Moa Road Board twelve nominations have been received. The ballot should create considerable local interest. Aroused from slumber by the nerveracking jangle of the alarm-clock, set for 4.45 a.m., your scribe on two occasions "screwed his courage to the stick-ing-point," and in what in military language would probably be called ''undress uniform" sallied forth to the front verandah to interview his Majesty the Comet. However, our celestial visitor declined to be enticed from behind his veil of fleecy clouds, and "Your Own" resumed his interrupted slumbers **a colder and a wiser man."

With a view to improving their knowledge of the standard authors, several local ladies have formed a literary club. It is a pity that some enterprising spirits of the masculine gender could not do something towards inaugurating a debating society, which helps so well to fill in the long winter evenings. When, as we see bv the paper, our neighbors at E:mont Village can raise a membership of twenty-nine, surely Tnglewood can make some sort of an effort in tke desired direction. , The new residence erected bv Mr. J. Hollar on a site just opposite the railway station is fast approaching completion, and promises to add considerably to the attractiveness of that portion of the town.
