A dense fog enveloped the district throughout t'he .greater part of Saturday. The warm, humid weather of the J past fortnight is giving much satisfaction! -to farmers, .most of whom consider that there is every prospect of ■an early .spring. There has been a good growth during the last few, weeks, and feed is mucSi more plentiful! than is usual at this time of the year. The ifing of the ihu-3]]Dia.n's axe is now frequently heard;, as several large blocks of Jbus.li are being felled.- The work is providing employment for, quite a number of men. j Mare than one dairy farmer is aft present installing milking .machines in readines& for the coming -season.. Sheds' and yards are undergoing repairs, and in. several cases concreting is .being resorted to. In one shed, a I treadle-worked machine is being placed. B is anticipated tfhat with*'this two men will be able to milk from forty to fifty cows per hour. If machines of this kind come up te expect \-« tions, they .will prove a great booa (to .small dairy, farmers,.' as their, cost is comparatively low. The local .school .re-opened on Mbn> , day, after the -week's • term 'holiday,; which had.been postponed from May.

A wedding of .considerable interest is to take place here in the near future, tho ibride being one of the most popular members' of the community. On Saturday night a euchre tournament and dance organised by rlie, ■School Committee took place in the hall. There was a good attendance, and the school funds-will benefit very i (considerably as a result of the enterI tainment. Prizes donated by th^ I Committee were won by Mrs Sunues : and .Mr Norman.
