(From Our Own_ Correspondent). March 23. Mr. C. Parkins, wlio has been minister of Knox Church for a number of years, is being tendered a farewell social in the Foresters' Hall. It is reported that metalling at Mount Messenger has commenced. I wonder when one will read that same has been completed? Iwo local race horse owners are to be congratulated on their wiiw at Opu* mike last Thursday. Both. Gold Wort; (with second place) and Master Currau (with first place) paid big dividends The local owner of Prince Formby had exceedingly bad hick in losing his horse. The purchase was only made a few days prior to the meeting. The cierk to the Clifton County Council reported at a special meeting last week that from the half-year from October Ist £IO,OOO had been received in rates. Tikorangi Hiding is at the top of the class, every penny of rates having come to handSeveral applicants have been awaiting the Postal Department's pleasure to be installed with a telephone, some havapplied six or eight months ago. The explanation given is a shortage of material. Again on Sunday evening, when people .were at their various places of worship, the elecltric current refused to Bp&rk, and the old-time candle was requisitioned pro tern. ' ■
