Thursday. I understand that Major Burr will be in attendance at the meeting called in connection with defence matters to-morrow (Friday) evening. A contract has been let for the digging up ot the Borough Square opposite the Commercial Hotel, and the ;/work was started this morning. At the ordinary meeting of Court Pahiatua, A.0.F., one new member was initiated and general business was transacted. The literary ability of several members of the Pahiatua Debating Society will be displayed to-morrow evening, when a "Journal" will be read. A return footbnll match between the YVoodville Juniors and the Pahiatua Wednesday team will take place on the local ground on Wednesday next, A six-roomed house in Mangatainoka owned by Mr R. Cade and occupied by a tenant was burned down yesterday afternoon. There was an insurance of £125 on the house, but the furniture was not insured. A spade was the only article saved from the house. A Ntart has been made with the putting in of the pasteurising plant at the Konmi (Ballance No. 2) Butter Factory. If the trial is as successful as anticipated, I understand the directors purpose putting in a similar plant at the Ballance Factory. The daily supply at the Konini Factory is increasing rapidly Owing to the growth of business aince his arrival in Pahiatua, Mr J. K. Carpenter, our local "Bootman," had found it necessary to considerably enlarge the ladies' showroom.
