LOCAL AND GENERAL.

About 1.15 o'clock yesterday morning, Constable Townsend received intimation that a rr>an was lying in Dixon Street suffering apparently from a fractured leg. On going to the locality, the constable found that the man, whose name is 11. Rennie, had broken his leg below the knee According to Rennie's story, the fracture was sustained by a fall caused by stumbling over some obstacle on the pathway. After being attended to by Dr Hosking, Rennie was admitted to the hospital. At the meeting of the General Committee of the Masterton A. and P. Association, on Saturday, a slight alteration was made in the conditions of the Ram Fair to be held in connection with the coming Show. On the motion of Mr 0. C. Cooper, it was decided to reduce the entry fees for flock rams offered for sale singly from 2s to Is. The Wairarapa and East Coast P. and A. Society are to be asked to confirm this alteration.

A general meeting of members of the Opaki Rifle Club was held on Saturday evening, Captain Welch presiding. Owing to the s?i son being so far advanced, it was 'iccided to hold only four trophy competitions, and to put in as much time as possible at teams practice shooting. The competitions decided upon were two over the 800 yds, 900 yds and I,oooyds ranges (only one to count), and two over the 200 yds, 500 yds and 600 yds ranges (both to count). The conditions for the competitions are seven shots and one sighter (not to count). The range limits for the A class are 95 points at the 200 yds, 500 yds and ,600 yds ranges, and 84 points at the 800 yds, 900 yds and I,oooyds ranges. The B class limits will be arranged later. The dates allotted • for the competitions are the following:— First shoot, January 16th and 18th; second, January 30th and February Ist; third, February 13th and 15th; fourth, February 27th and 29th. Captain Welch was elected handicapper for the present season, and ■the late handicapper, Mr Wilton, was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his past services. A motion was carried deciding that any competitor making up lost competitions at the end of the season, his score shall not exceed the highest score registered on the date previously set apart for this particular match. It was decided to erect two temporary targets at the long ranges. Messrs Haslem and P. Holmes were elected honorary members of the Club. Mr r . .1. Fiillnr. J.

The following appointments have been made in connection with the Carterton Rifle Volunteers: —. Sergeants, C. R. Fairbrother, (senior sergeant), C. D. Pulsford, H. McKinnon, A. Roydhouse; corporals J. Beechey, (senior corporal), J. Lawrence, J.

For the average man the most practical way of doing this is by means of an Insurance Policy. Probacy the best policy ever issued is that of the Australian Widows' Fund, which secures to the holder a weekly sum in the event of sickness or accident, or to his beneficiaries*' the full amount assured in the event of death, and that, too, at a cost only slightly greater than the cheapest ordinary policy. Ahbther feature of the policy is that double the sum assured is payable in case of death by accident. This policy gives the maximum protection at a minimum of cost; indeed, it covers the holder against all life and death contingencies, and is wliat the Australian Widows' Fund claims for it — "The high water mark of insurance." When a man has smoked them once—cigarette buying is no longer a question of choice, for he naturally asks for Taddy's Myrtle Grove Cigarettes.* When attacked with Diarrhoea or bowel complaint, you want a medicine that acts quickly. The attack is always sudden, generally severe and with increasing pain. Kven a slight delay in procuring a remedy increases the risk. Keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house and you are absolutely safe. It has never been known to fail in case of colic, cholera diarrhoea, or summer oomplaint in childen. For sale bv all dealers.
