We have received a copy oE the balance sheet of the Wairarapa Far' mere' Co-pperative Association, distributed in view of iiu coming annua) meeting, apfl have perused its contents nith considerable interest, as we, in common with piany others, are watching the development of this great undertaking as being one which, from its magnitude, affects greatly the prosperity of the district. No doubt, when the annual meeting takes place, we shall gel a further exposition cf its affairs from the able directors who control them, but the printed sheet itself without further introduction or explanation is a very satisfactory production. It is noticeable as being the first balance sheet published hyjthe Association which covers a complete yehjc of operations, and whiob disposes the of the'largest commercial enterprise in the Wairarapa. At its present rate of progress it may shortly be expeoted to have a turnover of a hundred thousand pounds, though at present it has only r.eacbep abojjt tbree-flgartjßrs. of this sum. Still, its rapid' expansion will soon pjace' it level with the larger round total, which, for a country busjness is something gigantic' Its shareholders purnber plpjp on one thousand, anoj when rflviejvinjj its figures we begin to realise that the Wa(raraps iflijst be .growing! into a Wealthy, popnlflue diafeiat tfhjch y?il} yet .tale a Ming position jn flip Colony, During the past year jwo features of the Association have been Very gratifying.

This not only maintains them in poeition but acts as a throw-off to the current.setf Ing up a shingle bank behind. The system is a simple one, and one which can be carried out at comparatively small cost, If it provts tho success anticipated, the experiment will be of great yaluo to settlers whose land is being scoured away by the river.—Examiner, Larrikinism is still rampant in Pahiatua, Last evening, while yet " the shados of evening were falling fast" some hoodlums of an older growth tore up the horse post in front of MrChlng Ting's store and carried it away, while Mr A, Stewart's horse post suffered the same fate, The audacity of the act requires tjjaf its perpetrators should be discovered and dealt with in an exemplary manner.

His Honor said it could hot bo avoided unless the juiy were kept in a stuffy roam, He bad always under« stood lhat the wait out to meals was preferred. Mr Bennett said it looked ridiculous to foe a lot of men in ohargo of a policeman, Besides, somebody might some day ask a member of the jury if he had ever boeu in charge, His Honor could not see why anyone should think it ridioulous for a policeman to attend the 'jury, and as for the other point, if anyone chose to bo foolish enough to ask whether a member of the jury, had been in charge, why should not the juryman tell the truth and say " Yes ?" The little interludo caused some amusement in Court, ind whoa it was over the jury went.to tea.
