THE OLD MILL.

I more than glad to read that Mr. Partington has opposed the sale of the dear old landmark we have been used to seeing for so many years—in fact, to me for a lifetime. It is our first flourmill. In my old age when I pass by in a tramcar and see the wings revolve, or again, so still, it brings back fond memories of early days and war time also. Our first church was Old St. Paul's, where I was baptised. I saw it disappear. Xow our old post oflice in Shortland Street lias gone also. I saw it when it was being built and its demolition brings back to mind our post oflice in Princes Street, with its little push-up window, where we used to get letters to mother from the front. I trust for old times' sake the mill remains and thank Mr. Partington for the stand he has taken in protecting it, as it would be sadly missed after so many years. A SOLDIER'S DAUGHTER, SO YEARS.
