WAIROA (HAWKES' BAY)
What a rare to do there was the other day over a few trifles that saw the light in the Obbeevee lately. It was awfully jolly to sit snugly enBconsed behind the bar at my favourite pub., and hear the obher fellow " getting fits."... What was a shining light of the Good Templars doing behind the bar the other night P...A.8.C.D.F., who teaches " the young ideas " how to shoot, has been and gone and done it. The School Board have given him three months' notice because he did not go in for his exam... Host Brewer, of the Wairoa hotel is a genius, but he is doing any amount of " biz." The barmaids, though not at all pretty, have proved a slight " draw j" Luce has drawn J. M. on a pretty tidy string... Piquant Miss M. is engaged impressing the value of semibreves and demisemiquavers on the youthful •mind. ..Miss N. is going to follow her fair sister's example, and " gang awa from us j" boys get jour wipes 0ut... 1t was too bad to treat Fred to such a valentine... Our boys are going to try and play .cricket next week... The Anglican choir have decided on a new Kyrie, to be sung when a certain extensive female favours (?) the church with her presence, it is " Good Lord, deliver us, miserable singers."
