TE A WAMUTU NEWS. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

Beet Boot. Amidst other subjects for the grave consideration of the Te Awamutu potentates is that of beet root cultivation. It is felt that this neighborhood is particularly suited for it, and any feasible scheme would be adopted with energy. It is considered also generally that it would be very bad policy and unwise in a business light for Auckland capitalists to allow German capital to work any such scheme, and to bear away to a foreign country, the profits that ought to help to enrich this splendid province. If Auckland men are not muddle-heads and there are some very grave doubts as to their claim to any other title now, they will surely never throw away a good solid chance of realising the wealth of their great estate. If they are too thickheaded and conceited to see their own interests, and too mean and timid to take steps towards working for their own good by all means let the Germans or any other manly race take the lead and the profits, or perhaps if they even took the colony they might develope it better than the men whose only objects appear to be to outwit and rob one another while the country is neglected and overburdened with debts that have been incurred by the fat headed incapables for their own selfish benefit. Rinking. In the meantime while hoary-headed age museth on matters of business, light heeled youth rinketh, or as some of them would sweetly pronounce it "wiuketh." We always are so excruciatingly genteel in small communities and we have leaders of the fashion who consider it the proper thing and mark of bongtong and boinoiiff to ask fellow leaders with a lofty air of dallying with life in a sort of Rochester and Buckingham manner •' Goin to the Wink to-night ole fellah ?" and we go, thoagh we don't care much about it, and we go about it as Englishmen are said to always take their pleasures, sadly. The solemn politeness of male and female performers, the solemn tumbles, sweetly endured, the unapproachable gracefulness of our movements are crushing, but we endure all for a compensation of some kind doubtless — that may seem above the comprehension of the uninitiated, but nevertheless does exist. So we did a rinking match with the Alexandrans on Saturday, and spent a yery brilliant evening in that charming little town. There was also a football match between the Alexandra and Ohaupo teams, Ohaupo being the winner. A Flour Mill. Returning to business, could not any enterprising young capitalist, with about £1000 at his command be brought to perceive the peculiar advantages to himself in particular and the neighborhood in general that might be reaped from starting a flour mill in this locality ? There will be after this season an unlimited supply of grain : there is an unlimited water power } and there is a comparatively unlimited demand by people who are tired of sending to Auckland or Hamilton for their flour. Milling is a good trade. Agricultural. The lambing is progressing under the most favorable circumstances, and the warm rains are promoting a vigorous and promising growth of the young grass and wheat in all directions. Should the agricultural show talked of assume shape it could not be worked under better auspices. We want a leader to call a meeting committee, that ia all. Where a dozen men are only waiting anxiously for someone to propose the very thing they all desire there will not be much delay. Advance Te Awamutu I—(August1 — (August 29).
