DISTRICT NEWS.

RAHOTU. It is with pleasure that we see Private Raynor and Private Ken Andrews home from the front. Both soldiers look very well. We hope to see others home soon if peace is to be declared on the _ath of this month, as a local lady dreamt over three months ago. Mr P. Parker was passed unfit, but later on passed, and he went to camp, left his factory in which he was manager, only to be rejected later on. Now he has accepted a position with Messrs ITughson and Sons, and looks all the better for the outside work. One trouble never comes alone. Mrs ■T. Pi. Groom had just lost her mother, when next day a cable came announcing I the death in action of her roundest bro" fber. An older brother died in Egypt [not very long ago. Mrs (iroom and Mr have the sympathy of their many friends in this, tlieir triple trouble. Mrs and Miss Sharrock left tlieir home and have gone to Hamilton for the present. Mr Clarke, the new blacksmith, has taken aver their house. Two nasty accidents happened down this way from horse kicks. Leslie Boardman ajid B. Field, son of Mr Field, of Oaonui. were both badly kicked i|i t'hc head, one nearly losing an eye and (he other had a dislocated and smashed jaw. Thev are now progressing favorably in the New Plymouth Hospital. Mr Cooper broke his leg but is getting along nicely.
