LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The latest return from the Antonio dredge is 12oz 2dwts for a week. A poll to constitute Gisborne a fire district has been carried by 49 votes to 7. A branch of the Civil Service Association has been formed in NewPlymouth. Mr C. Goodson, of Hawera, has been elected President or the North Island Poultry Association.

Mr Ward, one of the oldest residents ol Ashburton, died on Saturday morning a S e d 92 years. No fewer than 1,045 students are now .receiving induction at the Wellington Technical .School. There were twenty-fou'f cases of scarlet fever reported to the authorities in Wellington laat week. Messrs Fuller have acquired the lease of His Majesty's Theatre, Dunedin, so that they now control all the theatre properties in that city. The members of the Dorcas Society wish to acknowledge with thanks donations from Miss McGregor and Miss B. Vallancc, a parcel from Otahoua and a mattrass from Mrs A. Hosking. The ketch Isabella De Frine has been blown ashore at Ahipara, states an Auckland Press Association telegram. She is high and dry on the rocks at low wat°r, with a hole in her hull. Efforts are being made to float the vessel, but success is doubtful. . j Brigadier Albiston, in the course of his remarks at a meeting of the Salvation Army at Wellington, said that while in Taranaki recently he met a man who was so charmed with a visit to the Girls' Home in Owen Street that he made the generous offer to build and equip a Boys' Home and present it and twenty acres of land to the Army. At the annual general meeting of the Masterton A. and P. Association, on Saturday afternoon, Mr J. D. Cruickshank presented the retiring President, Mr R. Gray, with an enlarged photograph of the members of the General Committee. Mr Cruickshank said the presentation was made on behalf of the members of the Committee, who wished to show their appreciation of Mr Gray's ser- j vices during his two years' term of • office as President. Mr Gray suit- ! ably acknowledged the gift. A syndicate of Picton people was recently formed for searching the wreck of the Rangitoto. which went ashore at Jackson's Heads about thirty-five years ago. It was believed that the vessel contained a qua?:Cityof copper plates, and with the object of salvagit.g these a diver was sent down. To the surprise of the syndicate he brought up a num- j ber of cases of beer, brandy, and sar j saparilla. The beer was tasted, and I found to be quite good even after lying for over thirty years at the bottom of the sea. The sarsaparilla was also good, but the brandy was tainted. A message was received from our Tinui correspondent, last night, that Mr Wyvern Moore, son of Mr Fred. Moore, sustained a severe fall with his horse at the meeting of the Wairarapa Hunt Club which was held at Tinui on Saturday last. Mr Moore was riding Dr Archer Hosking's horse, Tui, which ran off the proper course, on O'Connor's farm, and struck a wire fence, falling on his back with Mr Moore under him. Dr. Dawson, who was present at the hunt, was immediately in attendance, and had Mr Moore removed to the Tinui Hotel, where every attention is being paid him. Mr Moore was still unconscious last night, but Dr. Dawson has every hope that the patient will soon rally and that no serious results will follow. Mr W. P. James, S.M., occupied the bench at the Masterton Magistrate's Court on Saturday morning. Elizabeth McKee applied for a separation order against her husband, James McKee. After hearing the evidence of the complainant, the Magistrate adjourned the case in order to allow the parties to come to some agreement. Mr C. A. Pownall appeared for the complainant, and Mr R. K. Jackson for the defendant. A charge was laid by a young woman against Robert Dunn of failing to make adequate provision for the maintenance of his illegitimate child. After taking evidence, the Magistrate refused to make an order, as he considered the evidence insufficient. Mr C. A. Pownall appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr H. C. Robinson for the defendant. The fact that Mr J. McGregor, a very old member of the Masterton A. and P. Association, had decided not to seek re-election as a member of the General Committee was re-ferred-to by the retiring President (Mr R. Gray) at the annual meeting of the Association on Saturday last. Mr Gray referred to Mr McGregor as "the father of the Association." He had been a member of the Association since it was founded, and it was largely due to his efforts that the Association was possessed of such valuable property as the present showgrounds. Mr Gray moved that a hearty vote of thanks be accorded to Mr McGregor, and the motion was unanimously adopted. Mr McGregor, in reply, said that "new blood" was wanted on the General Committee, and he had decided to give way to the younger members. He would still continue to take a deep interest in the doings of the Association. MERIT REWARDED - BY COURT OF JUSTICE.

t At a meeting, at Oamaru, of dele- - gates from the South Island Coursing Clubs it was unanimously decided to form a South Island Association. ; The Gisborne Waterside Workers are forwarding a subscription to re- • lieve the distress caused by the Syd- | ney coal lumpers' trouble. The debate between Messrs J. C Cooper and J. Yarr on the of land tenure has been fixed to take place in the Town Hall on Friday evening next, August 2nd. The rain that hsss fallen in thef Masterton district daring the past two days has caused the rivers to rise, and it is feared that a large area of low-lying country will become flooded. Mrs Brennan, who has bean conducting a pastel painting class in Masterton for some time past, was ! presented by her pupils, on Friday I afternoon, with a handsome silver j hair-pin tray, as a mark of the esteem j in which she is held by the pupils. J Mr Patrick M'Donnell, stationmaster on the Runanga State Collieries line, fell under a coal special when alighting from an engine on Friday night. Both legs were badly hurt, states a Greymouth Press Association telegram, and he died on Saturday morning. An executive meeting of the Wellington branch of the Farmers' Union, held at Palmerston North, passed the following motion—"That this executive, whilst thanking the Government for recognising the desirability of granting the freehold to L.I.P. tenants, desires to reaffirm the opinion of the union that the only satisfactory terms of purchase are those already set out by the union's platform. (The Union wants to purchase at the original value of the j holding.) The question of what ! action should be taken with ! the possibility of farmers being citedbefore the Arbitration Court was remitted to branches for their consideration. The Rev. W. Ronaldson, who is spending a few days in Masterton, was the preacher at the morning service at S. Matthew's Church yesterday.' He delivered a stimulating sermon from the text "Come over imo Macedonia and help me," emphasising the claims that all departments of church work had on all Christians. Few who heard Mr Ronaldson preach would think that he began his woik in Wairarapa as long ago as 1855. Originally sent to work amongst the Maoris, he strenuously laboured among them and Europeans, as he was for many years the only clergyman of any denomination resident in the Valley. His long journeys on foot through the Valley and round the coast are pleasant memories to the * passing generation of our older settlers. An advertiser seeks board and residence in a private family. Messrs R. E. Howell and Co., Ltd., advertise particulars of a number of well improved farm properties which have been placed in their hands for sale. A meeting of those interested in the establishment of a Reserve Corps - in connection with the Masterton Rifle Volunteers will be held in the Drill Hall on Thursday evening next, at 8 p.m. The firm of Messrs A. Stempa and Sons have disposed of their butchering business to Mr A. Stempa, junr., and solicit for him a continuance of that measure of public support which the firm have enjoyed for a number of years past. In another column Mr C. Smith announces that the sale of drapery and clothing will continue for one week only, and will positively close on Saturday next. In the meantime the public are offered bargains in all lines, and special lines will be sold at unheard of prices. The sale of furniture held by Mr J. R. Nicol, at Lincoln Road, on Saturday, on account of Mrs Bond, was largely attended, and competition was brisk throughout. The sale will be continued this afternoon at two o'clock, when the balance of the lines —some of which are enum?ratpd in an advertisement—will be sold without reserve. Mr Newton King, land agent, New Plymouth, notifies that there are only six of the Crown Dairy Farms left unsold, the others having sold readily. The 4,700 acre grazing run at Awakino was sold during the past week to Mr Bignell, of Wanganui. Anyone wanting to secure one of these farms, which are beirg sold on very easy terms, should not delay in making application. A WRONG IDEA. Many people erro-iously believe that over-milking ig the greatest danger with milking machine?, 'ihe facts are that the 4 injury was done to the cow by ail previous machines while the milk was being drawn, and until Gil!i?s hit on the principle of iniettins: air alongside the teat all through ihe milking, it was thought impossible to overcome this drawbaok. With the "L K G." there is no possible chance o f iojary to the cow dining milking or at env time, ev<=n if the cups are left cn in"definitolv. MacEwan fnd Co., Ltd., Sole Agents, U.S.S.

Rheumo effects a tlioro'Jgh cure. 2/G and 4/6. The ordinary cough medicine may soothe the throat, tut it has no power to heal: recov.-ry is not comp'ete* and a second attack is more liable to follow. Chamberlain's Ccngh Remedy is quite different, because it not only soothes but alsi heals, so that the affected parts are restored to a healthy condition, and the danger of a future attack is removed.
