The General Manager of the HZ, Mutual Association (limited) is now in Masterton, in order to establish a prominent agency of this useful Trade Protection Society m our midst, and while we would refer our readers to the advertisement which appears elsewhere, we would just say that it appears that tho operations of this Association are' very likely to bring about a better state of things in (he matter of the credit system. Till the establishment of this organisation, the defaulter might with impunity travel from one scene of operations to another, victimising the shopkeepers as ho moved onwards. Now, however, the shifty debtor is bailed up by the agent, and payment of the little amount demanded and with a threat of exposure, tho money is often forthcoming. All such information is .of the utmost value to business men, as we understand it is compiled in Debtor's Registers,. which contain also tho names of local debtors, and are open to subscribers' inspection. No doubt our business men will- see the value of such an organization. Some wicked people appear.to .be doubting the veracity of Mr Jessop, the model village settler of Pahiatua, who contributes to the columns of our local contemporary. In Mr Jessop'slast letter was the following passage:—"lt was only the other day Mr Morrison, who represents the Herald, was at the settlement himself, and said that he was convinced from what ho saw that the Village Settlement system would be a Buccess, and that nothing was wanted but to give it a fair trial," The Pahiatua Star, commenting on this paragraph, says : " A moro deliberate misstatement of facts ■ was nevor attempted. We' are in a position to state that Mr Jessop had no conversation whatever with Mr Morrison ; and further, that the statements attributed to the Herald representative were never uttered, Further than this it is not necessary to go. VVe have before advised Mr Jessop to stick as closely to the truth as possible; it will save him a deal of trouble."
