DROUGHT IN GISBORNE.
'■Gisborne has never known such a drought as it has experienced during the last few weeks," remarked Broi C. H. Ambridge. P.D.G.M.. of tbe Manchester Unity of Oddfellows. "As a representative of the district I know what I am talking about. Gisborne is suffering from one cf the driest seasons it has ever known. Even at tbe Motu, where one expects to see some signs of greenness, it is intensely dry. Tlie stock from Opotiki to the Gisborne works are fecdin? by the wayside. Creeks are dry, which were never dry before. The small farmers are the chief sufferers."
