The Wairarapa Daily. THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1883. THE TINUI MEETING.

■ « We undorstand that Messrs Kapp, McUardle, Welch, R. Meredith anil Hogg were appointed as delegates tc tho Timii meeting to represent the views of County suspenders, The two former, we believe, were unable to be present, but the latter performed the task assigned to them. It was hoped that they would carry the Timii meet ing with tho same facility with which they induced the burgesses of Masterton to protest against a County rate but, as our report shewed yesterday, tbey were disappointed and iinsucess ful. That particular burgebs who, al the Maßterlon meeting, said: " Whal do we care foropening up new'country let us look to No, 1!" was modes! enough to go up country and make a speeoh which was expected to converl settlers of the Whareama, The latter, by a large majority, however, declared their disapprobation of the proposal U. suspend the County. The. more the question is agitated the greater will bt the diversity of opinion on the part ol settlers. All over the County there aro men with grievances, but in thi Masterton Biding perhaps it is especially the case that settlers have Rome good ground for complaint. As wc pointed out the other day, they are, at compared with settlers in othei Hidings, over-valued, and they have a right to some special consideration. We believe that it will be quite possible to meet any inequality which arises from this source oither by substituting general separate rates for the genera! rate, or by a local valuation being taken in place of the Government assessment, Next year, too, we feel pretty certain, that the County and the Road Board will be able to manage with less than a halfpenny rate. The

Road Hoard 'might possibly have managed with less this year. Its revenue- is all but equal to its.lust year's income, while it .has been relieved of a considerable portion of its ordinary expenditure. We are surothat no one wishes to see rates heaped upon Bettlera to an extent which they, cannot afford, and that the supporters of the County will be quite as ready as the opponents of it to bring local taxation within reasonable limits. It will be noticed from our report of the Tinui meeting that the Cashpoint Road Board is practically pledged to oppose the suspension of the County. This is a fatal obstacle to the schemes of the suspenders, becauso without the co-operation of the Road Boards the Governor will not be justified in issuing a proclamation in their favor. The Mnsterton Bond Board and the Castlepoint Boad Board Palnatua Road Board must one and all express their willingness to take over the County liabilities before the County can be relieved of them, ■As yet, not a single Board has consented to do this,- We have been assured that the Chairman of the Masterton Boad Board has privately given pledges in this direction, but we are not aware that anything has yet transpired at the Board's meetings which would justify the public in taking it for granted that the, Board will accept thorn. Mr It. E. Armstrong will in fututoact as our agent in Carterion, ' It is repjrted at Tinui llmt Mr Kenrick'a children saw the body of an infant ou tho rocks at low tide yesterday, hi Cashpoint. Cons'akle Oullerton is going over t« make enquiries this morn in«. What might easily have provoJ a very serious accident, occurred nearly opposite the old Pioneer Hold, Carterton, ou Tuesday evening A horso breaker wns remonstrating with an unbroken animal when the stirrup leather gave way and the rider came ofl, His precipitate descent frightened a trap horse passing at the time,.which wheeled round, made a bolt, and jumped clean out of the harness, leaving the trap and occupants on the road. The only damage done was to the harness, but the escape was a narrow one, The members of boih' the first and second teams of the Greytown Football Club are expected to practtce this after iinon. Thia ia the moi'd necessary on account of the weakness of both teams, owing to tho disablement of several of the first team, and that others will bo unavail able for Borne weeks, It is probable llm' the tirst toam will have to draft fho or six fmm the socond in order to be auio to put a team in the field at all. The annual meeting of ilia Greytown Horticultural Sooiety will be held on Saturday evening next, when important business will be disoussed, Mr J, Hancoe, Pharmaceutical chemist, of Mimnors-Btreet, Wellington, advertise! a specific for acute or chronic cough, bronchitis, influenza, and affections of I he throat and lungs, which is claimed to give iiumedia'o relief, v Mr Kelly has started a cooperage in Groytown in the shop known as Jaaksuu'i at South Groytown, Stockowners beware I or rather rabbil owners, for the department is fairly on the war path, At Carterton yesterday (ho fines and costs in one caso amounted to £l2 ss, and jn another 15, the defen dams failing to successfully, refute Hie chxrue made by the Inspector of having a plentiful supply of the. furry pest on their properties, The £5 tn'an, offered Ins property to tho B.M, straight out if he would pay the fine,' saying that ifr.wat impossible to keep laud: where aucli ar Act is in force. If the fine, is doubled next lime, it is likely enough that someone will get a cheque to take the lot of his bauds, aiid being a property of a thousand acres, it would not long wanl an owner. The man John Fry, recently hi"iighl into the Masterton Hospital from Jir T, Price Girdwood'a camp near Brancuputh, died lost night from inflammation of tin lungs, When Grst admitted no symptom of,this disease were detected, and it wat thought that he would be woll enough in a few days to get to work again. Thorf is some reason to believe, that his name was John Jordan and not John Fry, ai in bis puckol there is an hotelkeepen receipt in that name containing the following suggestive items:—four dayi hoard 4s Gd, and drinks 445, Also t letter in his handwriting, signed Jordan corroborates the name revealed in the.bill, A part; of Masons started from Mas, terlon at noon to-day to take part in th< installation of the W.

Man, ißeatl Tho extraordinary sale of Surplus, (Win* tm' Stock at Te Aro House, Wellingtonshould be a matter of some interest tc all readers of the Waikarapa Daili for these special reason*, Ist, because ol the largeness of tho stock, 2nd, because of Uio short dura-iou ut the Bile, IE days only, Sn', becauso of the unpreced*iitedly low prices. Our price list, issued with thia paper, should, we think, astonish everybody, and very certain it is that a trip to the sale would be money ia pocket to every Wairarap* residont that should try it. If not able to come, their orders, accompanied with cash, would be as woll executed as though selected personally. It simply means 20s for 103, or evealosß in many cases, thoroforo try it, 0 ye residents, and that right early. Bear in mind that we havo no country businesses whatever, no branches in any township, and no one is authorised to sell for us, either regularly or irregularly. We have only one place oj business in (he province, aud the public would do well to keep this fact in mind when sending their orders, or visiting Wellington, that our sole establishment in the colony is that known as Jamei Smith's To Aro Houßo, Wellingtoo.-AnvT.

Attorneys havo ever, been fairgame' fo'rj9Jolte,.and JJoote certainly made the'most of thein,. One day, a simple farmer wh6 had just buried a rich relation, an attorney, was complaining of the great expense of a funeral in the country. ' Why, do you bury your attorneys here!' Foote asked. 'Yes, to be sure we do, how else V ' Oh, we never do that in London.' 'No 1' said the other much surprised j 'how do you manage 1 ? 1 ' Why, when a patient happens to die, we lay him out in a room over night by himself, lock the door, throw'open the sash, and in the morning he is ontirely off. 1 ' Indeed!' said the other with amazement; ' what becomes of him f ' Why, that we exactly we cannot tell j all we know is there's a Btrong smell of brimstone in the room the next morning. 1 A meeting of the Druids Festival unci Snivee Commitleo nos held at the Marquis of Normanby hotel, Carterton, on Tuesday evening.
