The shearing of dry sheep commenced here last week. This district is fortunate in the matter of shearers as there are quite a number resident here. Outlet of Lake Nearly Closed. The outlet of the lake, as the result of the heavy weather experienced last week, is nearly closed. Flounders Plentiful. Flounders are plentiful at the Lake Ferry and several large hauls have been secured lately. The weather was beautifully fine at the weekend and the seaside was largely patronised by local residents and visitors. Flag Staff at School. A flag staff has been erected in the grounds of the local school. First Aid Demonstration. The ladies of the district met at the Tauanui homestead the other evening, when Mrs Marshall gave a demonstration of bandaging, etc., which was greatly appreciated by all present.
