PAHIATUA NOTES.

(FmrOur Own 'Coimpondent.) Pahiatua, Thursday. Mr John Spillane, brother of the . late proprietor, of the Club Hotel, has taken up his residence in the Post Office Boarding House, which was until recently carried on by Mr J, O'Callaghan. The building is now undergoing a thorough overhauling, j and an addition of some twenty j rooms will be made: The contractor j for the additions is Mr T. Wrigley. I Ij believe it is Mr Spillane's intention to apply for a license for the house when completed. The Makakahi settlers have now 1 secured a regular mail service. Mr , a W, Bowden, of the Boarding House, 0 will act as uostinaster, A painful acoident occurred on Tuesday to ft village settler named e John Whittick, He was engaged at |f work in the Mangahao and had been making a staging against a rimu ' which it was proposed to fell, A stick becoming detached struck him in the eye and it is feared his sight will be e permanently injured. . j The sale yards of Messrs Stevens and Gorton, auctioneers, on the jl Mangahao road, aro now almost completed. The whole of tho erections I* is of the best totara and of such a j permanent and substantia), nature as to indicate that enterprising firm's P faith in the district, Mr lorns 1 fortJ nightly sales, are, however, such a " settled thing" that I think the will need considerable induce- [ ment to desert his hammer for that of l_ the new comers. k _ The holdera of seotions in the little township of Scarborough say big thiags of the prospects of their sites now that the railway works are being pushed on. Mr Arthur Oleghoro, a local builder is already , adding to his dwelling house on the Mangahao road with the intention of applying for a license at the forthcoming" licensing meeting. His 1 house is situate at the orossmg of no leas than four roads, and will be in immediate contiguity to the railway station when ereoted, e •
