It is stated on good authority that the Olark-Haggen criminal libel action is to bo brought on again at an early ' date, This time the case will be heard at Woodyille ; boforo Mr Turnbull, E.M. I hear that Mr Oarlyle, of Woodville, is a probablo candidate for the Waipawa seat, at the Genera! Election. There will tbaa be four candU dates in the field, if thoy all corns forward, viz,, Messrs Smith, Hunter, Hsggen and Carljle. The license has been Onally granted to the new hotel at Makalmhi, about i four miles from I'ahiatua on tho main ' Pabiatua-Eketahuna road. It is also proposed to erect a store and blacksmith's shop, and being contiguous to MiyChcster's creamery, there is no """$m that there is a good opening for entvprising men, Ad evidence of the interest taken here, in the dairy industry, one farmer informs me that next season he will milk 100 cows, and will not rest till he can supply the milk from 200.

Dairy cattle of a good class are still in good demaud, and obtain good prices. At present, however, although there is a plentiful supply of grass, tho condition of the stock is far trom satisfactory,

The W.F.Ci, propose shortly to enlarge their premises 'here, somewhat on the plan of the new store at Carterton. Their business in Fahiatua has considerably grown of late, and necessitates the increased facilities and a larger staff of assistants.

There is considerable friction here still over the Post Office site, and this is likely to extend to tho fixing of the site for the bridge over the Haagatainoka. Although the Borough Council have, by a majority, made up their minds that it shall boon the Maiigahab Road, it iu not by any WfIBDB certajn that they can carry the

loan for that site, Moroovor, thoy have to deal with the County Coun> oil, who may consider that ptoteoiive works will onhanco tho cost, A section of the community advocate a site some chains furihor up the river, on the ground that thero is better anchor ago for the piles, and less scour on tho eastern bank of tho river. The chess and draughts tournament has been the means of very constant play on the part of the members taking part in it, Tho final contest for the chess match rests between Messrs Godtschalk and Norton.
