A modest announcement in another column brings under the notice of our readers the Provincial Farmers Cooperative Association, a company with a nominal capital of £IOO.OOO. Wo regard with interest the advent of an institution, of this kind, because it may become a benefactor to this district,—or, on the other hand it may do it an injury, -Is it to be a blessing to us or a misfortune 1 At present we know nothing about it excepting what we can gather from a copy of its prospectus, but even from that document it is possible to form a preliminary opinion, The provisional directory is a brigade of about thirty farmerß of whom four reside within the Wairarapa, and twenty six beyond our dividing range, The object of the Company is to manufactura butter, and to establish dairy factories and creameries. If it were to open factories or creameries in this district it would be extremely advantageous to us, A factory for example at Masterton would bo.a very desirable thing. But if farmers in the neighbourhood took up shares in the Company in anticipation of a faotory being opened in this town, and that factory were not established, they would probably feel aggrieved to see their money flying to the other side of the dividing range, and Bpent in opening factories in the Manawatu and Eangitikei districts. We would bavo preferred to see the prospectus more specific as to what factories or creameries are to be projected, Farmers here would do well to take an interest in such a company if they were guaranteed a factory, but they would be foolish to contribute towards it without a reliable assurance oti this point. We wish we understood a little more clearly who the real promoters of this new undertaking are and what are its chances of success, This end of the Wairarapa is not represented by a single name on the provisional directors' liat, so

that there is no local refereo with whom we can discuss the merits of

the undertaking, It may be of greater importance to the Wairarapa North than we imagine, hut if so we presume the promoters of it will take 6omo more trouble to enlist our sympathies with it than they appear to have done at present, So far it seems to us that if the farmers hero do not get a definite assurance of the character we have indioated they will be hardly justified in taking the affair into serious consideration, unless they feel that the company is likely to be a powerful lever to advance the dairy industry throughout the whole of the Provincial district,' and consequently to ennaWthe value of grazing land in all "parts of the Wellington Jrovialse. • ' ' '<:■'■'■'

The meeting of the oreditora of Miss Kate Garden, late hotelkeeper, at Carterton, which was to have boon held at Wellington yesterday aiternoon lapsed for want of a quorum. Miss Carden has furnished the Assignee with a Btatement of hor business transactions. It enters into conaiderabledetail, and makesaccusations agaiust various persons of unjust conduct, deception and wrong-dealing towards her. The statement seta forth that in May 1889, she bought into Marquis of Normanby Hotel, at Cartorton, for £1375, paying in cash £lls and for the balance(£6oo) making over a bill of salo on the furniture to Staples and Co. The lease had about nine years to run, at a monthly rental of £34145, besides 30s a week for insurance- The bill of salo had to be paid off at the rato of £IOO a year. All payments were duly met, and business contined to improve until about July, 1892, when landlord, Licensing Committeo and police-com-bmed to have her turned out. As a consequence she determined to sell, and she had oilers ranging from £I4OO to £1240 from various persons, but all negotiations fell through, as the purchasers she found would not be granted a license, She then submitted the names of various persons who had been recommended to hor for the position ot hotel manager, but this also was objected to. Staples and 00. then called up their bill of-sale balance, £SOO, with LB6 of current account, Tucker, who is now running the house, being the purchaser. Being ignorant of business usage she was obliged to employ lawyers whose bills would show that a large portion of herJmeaiiß was absorbed by their coßts. Staples and 00. paid hersolicitor (Mr R B. Williams) £240 as compensation money for stock left in the house, and, she was given instructions that this 1 should not be paid away for the present, She sold a property in Invercarglll for £2OO, which passed into the hands of ! another lawyer, and from which she had drawn £26 for personal ospenßes.Times.
