Miss" Hurley, who has been reeoni- , mended for the r position of assistantmistress at the Tipapakuku School, holds a C certificate, and is at present assistant-mistress at the Outram School, Otago. a She has very high reports from the inspectors, and the school is to be congratulated on obtaining the services of such a highly qualified mistress. Mr Stevens, of the- Hastings High School, has been appointed headmaster at the Weber School. The committee had a very large number of from teachers with excellent qualifications, and it was only after a very lengthy deliberation that I they decided upon recommending Mr Stevens for the position ."" Says an exchange : There is a pv-i---sistent belief that Lord Charles Bwes-.'for-cT will be disposed of by being offered the' Governorship of one of the self -Governing dominions (writes a London correspondent). Asked a-s to the accuracy of these, reports the^ ■j other day, 'ho said with a smile: "There, is nothing 'more probable. Seeing that my career soJar has been entirely a -.naval one, it is just the sort of thing that would occur to the authorities. To put me in ' some place where a ship is never seen or heard oiV If the report should turn out to be correct, it is hardly likely his Lordship ' t would be kept waiting for the appointment long i enough for the New Zealand position • , to fall vacant.

Employees of dairy factories are* requested to' note that a meet 1112; will be held in Palmerston North, on Thursday afternoon, in tlio Opera Hovse building, to discuss matters of interest. At 'Wellington - ypsterjhiy ;\ .v.-nuui named Mary Ani^l%lTttfcißHv^.fis Mary Jan© Barrie) was fined^ £20 ' and costs for sly-grog selling. The charge arose out of a. recent police raid on a Taranaki Place boarding"house. ° ■ We understand that his Miss Hay, who has been acting'as matron at- the Dannevirke hospital since Miss Godfrey's retirement from the position, has received 1 the appointment of matron the Mercury Bay hospital, vice Miss Hopper,, who comes to Daonevirke..., V~ At a publjc meeting at, Wellington, last night the Very Rev. Father ■ Keogh (for "the past nine years rector of St. Patrick's College)^ who ' is leaving to become - parish ' priest at Hastings, was presented with an address from the citizens of Wellington and a purse of over ono ''hundred; sovereigns: The presentation was - made by Dr Cahill, who spoke- in high/ terms of the work Father Keogh has done at St. Patrick's College. Father Keogh, in returning thanks, said .he was perfectly satisfied that the work he was leaving behind him would be better carried out by his successor— Rev. Dr Kennedy, of Meanee. ' Mr H. Black is pushing on with: . the erection of his cheese factory on the Piri Piri block, and is at present on a visit to Dannevirke s ; ,&ome five men are now engaged, on the work, and the framework is up. The ' factory will be ready to receive milk on the' lst of September. Mr Black *■ has been guaranteed the milk from ' 300 cows, v but the factory will be large enough to deal with the product of 1000 cows. The site is on Mr Buckman's land, is handy to the Tailway station, and is admirably situated so far as drainage is concerned. Mr Black has had a. wide experience in tlio dairy industry. He /was general manager at Okiawa for edght years. The product of this company last season ran up to. 2000 tons of cheese and 100 tons of butter. The cheese was sold irrespective of gTade at a very high figure. Altogether, ; Mr Black had some eighty men under him. It may therefore- be at once understood that Mr Black* has little to learn in regard to the production of butter and cheese, a>nd t3ie settlers of Piri Piri are to. be congratulated in having made their arrangements with such a competent gentleman^ Mr Black has formed a fcigh - opinion of the Piri Piri land for dairying purposes, and we wish, him . every success with his' venture*
