We beg to remind our Greytown friends of the complimentary concert to Mr G, Palmer in the Town Hall this evening, The drawing in Leahy's sweep will take place on Monday next.

Mr Renall's friends are defending the practice of inadvertently lodging claims by persons not possessing the residential qualification. This is a mild way of phvazing "false declarations" and we think Mr Renall's friends bad better abandon rather than excuse such disreputable tactics. The meeting of Mr Beetham's supporters held al the Temple Chambers yesterday was well attended by both town and country settlers, and a strong committee was appointed to act on his behalf. Mr Sellar was appointed secretary to the committee, as Mr Girdlestone, who on the occasion of the hist election acted in a similar capacity, did not seek the appointment for the present contest.

Kennedy McDonald & Co,, the wellknown auctioneers of Wellington, and should receive considerable attention from capitalists and others in search of firstclass building allotments in Masterton.

The usual weekly drill of the Greytown Volunteers was very well attended on Tuesday, Captain Tully being in command. The company were drilled by Cid-Sergt. Hamilton, after which a general meeting was held, and the new rules

were read and adopted, Great excitement was caused yesterday by the report that Captain Tully had received orders from head-quarters to have his company in readiness to proceed to the front. Notices were posted at various parts of the town, informing the members that they were expected to attend in uniform at the Town Hal) at 7.30 p.m., to give in (he names of all who intended goin« to the front. Between 20 and 30 responded to the notice, ■ind signified their willingnes to proceed at once. The departure of the Wellington Narals, with one of the Greytown Volunteers in their ranks, evidently fired their martial ardor. The nomination of candidates for the Wairarapa East Comity is advertised for the 4th of November, at the following' places:—Awhea Riding, at Mr William McLeod's, Whakapuni; Castlepoint Riding, at the Public Hall, Tenui; Wainuioru Riding, at the Post-office, Gladstone.

The Carterton Volunteer Fire Brigade had three hours' good practice on the Reserve on Monday evening. The Treasurer was appointed canvasser, and complimentary tickets issued for the soiree at the Public Hall on Show night to Superintendent Whitefortl and the senior foremen of ilie Wellington Brigade and Captain Muir of the Masterton Brigade. Mr Crosse, dentist, notifies that he will revisit Masterton on Thursday Nov. 3. The Taratahi-Carterton Highway Board invite a number of tenders in another column. The Masterton Rifle Volunteers parade to-morrow evening. A well known handsome steeple chaser from Wanganui " Bully for you" is now in the Prince of Wales' Hotel stables. We believe his destination is Greytown and that this horse is likely to make its mark in the district during the coming racing season. The Wairarapa Maories evince no sympathy with Te Whiti and apparently take little interest in his movements. MrG. Beetham intends inviting the electors to meet him in the Town Hall, Masterton on Tuesday evening next. Mr George Beetham has been invited hy the Wcsleyan Church Committee to open the Baziar which is to beheld in the Town Hall, Masterton, on December 14th. We are authorised to state that Mr G. Beetham's acceptance of the invitation has heen received with satisfaction by the Wealeyan community in this district.

A telegram from the front reports ; While a dray, which was going from Punearehu to Eoliotu, was passing near Parapara, about a hundred natives, who live in whares there, came and stopped it. The owners went to the camp and reported the circumstance. The mer were ordered under arms and went as an escort, and the natives on seeing the A, o,'s retired to their whares, whilst the women ran towards Parihaka, The Maoris were very exited tut did not attempt to interfere, and the dray proceeded with an escort to its destination, Cobb's coach from Opunake, when passing through the disaffected district, was accompanied by a mounted escort. There are three great advantages th e public nf Masterton net by dealing a*Rnpp and Hare's. Ist.-They can obtain ?nnds cheaper than at any other store. 2nd. The quality of their goods is the best that enn be supplied. 3rd. They always sell at tbeir advertised prices, Those who have never given them a trial should do so at once, and they will not be disappointed.—[AnvT,] It is a fact that Messrs Gardener and Son sold last season more sheep shears than the whole of the Wairarapa storekeepers combined, and this season it is their intention to offer the 100 dozen pairs which they have imported at less than Wellington wholesale prices. We cannot understand how this well-known firm sell all their goods so wonderfully cheap Their stock is splendidly assorted, and we would call special attention to their magnificent stock of drapery, which surpasses any we have yet seen in the Wairarapa. ~Udyt.| -..-■■•■,.•■-'■ ':l,-,S;..^:^\ ; -..
