The Cbmetehy.— On Saturday ovening a mooting was held in tho schoolroom, of the Cemetery Trustees, and others interested in ellecting some improvements to our cemetery reserve. There was a fair atteiidanco, Mr P. Corboy occupying the chair. The chairman, who is one of the trustoes, explained that although they had been appointed many years ago, and several interments had been made, including the remains of tho soldiers who were fcriuerly buried near tho Waipa river, sufficient interest had never beon taken in the matter to effect any improvements upon the ground. The cemetery reservo comprised ten acres, and it was now thought advisable to enclose two acres, which would give room for proper divisions for the various denominations, and also permit of trees being planted. The estimated cost of grassing and fencing the lot was then gone into. This amounted to some £14 if paid for in cash, but after some discussion, the following apportionment of labour was decided upon as the readiest means, under the circumstances, of accomplishing the desired end -.—Mr iwersen to clear the land, Mr Corboy to plough. MrCalderto harrow, Mr Shepherd to provide grass seed and put it in ; Messrs McCutcheon and McAllister to procure posts, and a fencing bee will be held to erect it. Soma cash being necessary to purchase wire, gates, etc., Messrs McCutcheon, .McAllister, P. Meredith, S. Calder, and Shepherd were appointed a committee to arrange an entertainment to raise the necessary funds. Mb Reynolds. —Much interest is felt in Mr Reynolds' approaching visit to his various factories in Waikato, including our own. In view of the paramount success which has attended Mr Reynolds' efforts to establish his firm's business in the Old Country, our milk suppliers have-not unnaturally—much mote confidence in the future of the export butter trade. Not only as to its paramount value, but also as regards au improvement in the price of milk.
