KGMONT VILLAGE. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Tilings have been very quiet here since the annual meeting of the dairy company. The work of the dairy season is in full swing now, and pleasure has to stand down.

Mr. Bake-well turned up last week to lecture on "Conscription," but owing to the rough weather a very poor audience was in attendance, so the address was indefinitely postponed. Mr. R. Burrows entered into possession of the Egmont Village store, which for some time back has been managed by Messrs. L. 1). Nathan and Co.'s representative, on Thursday. He is getting the telephone office, post office, etc., moved to his new premises, where he will, live, while his brother will carry on the butchery business. With his. 'n,ew and larger premises he will be able to carry a much more complete stock than previously, and his former premises will be converted into a bulk store.

Tne Mutual Improvement Society is, for. jthe present season at any rate, dead. For two or three meetings there has Ibeen a very meagre attendance, and on 'Thursday only two members turned up. A mistake was made in trying to continue the meetings through the summer season,! It is to be hoped, however, that "It'wiii'be started with renewed vigor ijexjt autumn, as it provides a most l' ptfpiitajvle and pleasant means of passing :,an'evening. 1 .'The members of the cricket club have been; indulging in a little practice al-r'eMj-j jirid I understand an attempt is to be made to arrange for a match with .Maiigorej at no far distant date.' ' &..co'ncert and dance will be held in the hall' on Thursday, 19th, in aid of the funds- It is to be hoped it will be .'well,attended, and will result in a subs,taii|fajl profit, as a considerable amount ~bf nejv gear is needed for the present .■SeWaoW'

','TJlie .focal farmers are beginning to lopioarbund their stock, etc., for likely show., candidates now, and doubtless jvhpi 'the time comes the Village will joe stifbngly represented. Ayrshire cattle •will; doubtless constitute the strongest class, arid Messrs. Olson Bros., A. Mor,'.to'nA and Geo. Marsh can be relied on ,to produce some first-class entries. -.The recent rains have had a most '.beneficial effect on the grass round the ■j district, and feed is much more plentiful than it was a week or two back. , The. question of fuel for the creamery is' one which is going to face the dairy .' before many years, as firewood , very scarce. Coal will prob- | ajWj; t>e,.tlie substitute, unless petroleum jifcafl be,,.utilised economically enough. : ';■.!"';:. ,' tajrata. .'
