INGLEWOOD.
'(From Our Own Correspondent.) Inglewood, Oct. 4. On Tuesday last Mrs. Sorter, of Wellington, representing the Women's National Reserve League, addressed a meeting in the Town Hall, at which there was a. good attendance of local ladies, and after which it was decided to form a branch in Inglewood. The St. Andrews' Guild held a, most successful sale of work in the Parish Hall on Wednesday afternoon and evening. The Rev. Harvie, vicar of St. Mary's, New Plymouth, opened the proceedings with a short address, after which business was soon in full swing. The following ladies were in charge of the different hails: Sweets. Mesdames Hamerton and Horner; fancy work, Mesdames Cutfield. Armstrong and .T. Sutherland; plain sewing, Mesdames Coad and Grossman and Miss Brown; flowers and produce, Mrs. Gow and Miss Hamerton; country stall, Mrs. Burwell. Miss Death; afternoon tea, Mesdame3 Caldwell. Rolston and Wilson. We understand that between thirty and forty pounds was. taken as the result of, the'effort. There was a large attendance at the Methodist church on Wednesday evening, the occasion being the annual visit of the Home Mission deputation. The Rev. Papakakura, apart from his address which was listened to with keen interest, sang two songs, which were very much appreciated. Mr. M. Sutherland also sang twice. Mrs. Arthur contributed a recitation, and the orchestra played two selections, and the National Anthem brought a very pleasant function to a close.
The local Bacon Company has again had a most successful year.' After paying out prices equal to anything offered by opposition concerns to their shareholders, they are now paying out a bonus of Is 4<l per' pound, which is a highly satisfactory state of affairs. Your correspondent saw one bonus cheque this morning for £45. The manager of the company (Mr. Allen), and his staff, are deserving of congratulation on the excellent result of the year's work, and should certainly have the effect of keeping the farmers loyal to the concern.
