CONTRADICTION.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir. — In your issue of the 3rd instant, 1 noticed a remark mad 3 by a correspondentf rom Raglan, 'which I must contradict. He states that it is a fact of some significance, that on his last visit here, the Rev. Mr Phillips was refused the use of the schoolroom as was done to him at Kihikihi. The statement is malevolent and the inference drawn from it is that owing to his so called ritualistic practices, the schoolroom wasnotgireutohim. Thisisnot the case. The use of the schoolroom was not witheld from him at all, nor has it ever been from any person who sought it for a like object with Mr Phillips. He is as popular with the residents here as ever the Rev. Mr Brady or any former minister has been, and apart from that, I think any school committee woujd be exceeding their duty if they refused the use of their schoolroom for any religious purpose. — I am, &C, , William Duncan, Chairman, Ruapuke School Committee. Ruapuke, 7th February,, 1881.

Garlick and Cranwell will aim to retain the confidence which the public have hitherto shown them, and are determined to give the pure cash system a fair trial; whether they' gain or lose tHe first year. Country buyers ,on remitting cash with order will be supplied with 'goods at co-operative prices ; just the same as though they made a personal selection. Furnishing goods, suet as carpets, floor cloths, bedsteads, bedding, and general house furniture, the largest portion of which is turned out at our own factory, will be marked at the lowest remunerative prices, and a discount ot .five p_er cent, will bo, allowed to tb.ose.who pa.y af , the time of purchase! <j, &C. haying realised the entire value of their stock* during their lafe, cash, sale, the prosent.staclc is n^wvanb jqhbaply bought': "Ah inspection is iuvited.—GAiUJCK akd CRAxwuLt, City HallFur#styng Arcade Queeni'^reotiA^clk^dr >' ,7
