EKETAHUNA.

*(Froin Our Own Correspondent.) Jy ;'\ There was quite a cha'ngo in the FT weather heie the latter of last week.« It had turned quite ciild, with dull, cloudy da}Bj'very little ruir. <■ has fallen yet, but quite' enough to stop tjr.isi seed cutting. When ate we going to get the loan ' we applied for to make the roads 1 I suppose wo shall hear something ' about it thoitly; the sooner the better, if the loads aro to be inado before the winter weather sots in. I see Mr Muriell is putting up a largo house in Ekotahuna West for his family So doubt ' * seveial others will build as soon ns the bridge acioss tho Makakahi river is completed. It has not been decided yet who will have the contract, and theie seems to be some difficulty about the matter. Seveial people havo spoken to nio about getting up some Sports in this 'jE township at Easter; but no one|J[fi| seems to make any decided move. We want someone to call a public meeting to discuss the subject, and I hope Mr VouEedon will'take the hint. Our Cricket Club seems to have come to a standstill, Theie is no word of any matches being on the tapis, It is lather a pity to let all the fine weather pass without a cricket match, or some other kind of amusement to keep us alive, Tlieie is quite a cry ( hero for men for glass seed cutting and very fow to bo got for love or liloney. There sniely must bo plenty of employmenfc v for labor in other parts of the country/ for no men looking for woik pnss this way. I hope some of the idleis in Masteiton-if you have any —will tako tho hint and usit Eketahuna. /J] Since writing the above, I leauiK, that Mr Byraut, of Woodville, is successful tendoier for tho Makakahi Bridge at £450. Monday opened wMi cold wctorley winds, and heavy rain.
