STRATFORD.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Stratford, Yesterday. The many friends of Mr. S, J. King, will be pleased to hear that; he is recovering from his recent serious illness. It will, however, be some weeks before he will be about again. To-day a resident of Whangamomona was ordered to the Mental Hospital, on the certificates of Dr. Steven and Paget. The members of the Cinderella Pantomime Company are tendering a farewell social to-morrow night to Mr. A. S. Davis, who is leaving for the front. It is about time the authorities took action at the speed motor-cyclists go round corners in Stratford. To-day, an accident was narrowly averted, which might have been serious. A cyclist came round the Regan Street corner at quite thirty miles an hour, and just missed colliding with a horse and gig driven by a lady. Cyclists who travel at great speeds should be taught a lesson, and nothing but a stiff fine will deter them from the practice. At the Methodist Church this afternoon, Miss Violet Mills, youngest daughter of Mr. W. T. Mills, of Denbigh Road, Midhirst, was united in the holv bonds of matrimony to Mr. W. Brown, eldest son of Mr. Joseph Brown, chairman of the Taranaki County Council. The bride was given away by her father, and was attended by Miss Annie Mills and Miss Ethel Brown and Miss Estell Cook acted as flower girls. The bride, groom was attended by Mr. Len Brown as best man, while Mr. J. Mills acted as groomsman. The ceremony which was performed by Rev. A. Reader was attended by a large number of friends and relations. As the happy couple left the church the Wedding March was played by Miss Hopkins. After the ceremony the usual wedding breakfast took place at Mr. Elder's tea rooms, where the usual toasts were duly honored. The happy couple left by the afternoon train for the South, where the honeymon is to be spent.
