PAHIATUA.
(From Our Own Correspondent,)
The village settlers held their annual picnic at the Mangatainoka on Good Friday. Both children and adults mustered in force and put. in the day at athletic sports and games. Again the hope (which has been abandoned and taken up again from time to time) is being indulged in that we shall yet get some warm weather, and its adjunct, a good burn. The Salvation Army continued to make great strides in their work. It is now proposed that the Captain and Lieutenant (both of the gentler sex) should reside here permanently, A subscription list (the proceeds of which will be devoted to furnishing the officers quarters), is being liberally filled up. Naturally the soft-hearted bushwhacker, who experiences so little of woman's soothing influence, is responding liberally to this call.
The local Football Club opened the season on Good Friday with a scratch match. A good game was indulged in, and at the conclusion Mr T. Hudson was unanimously elected captain of the club for the ensuing season.
