Says the Auckland Star: —The member for Auckland West (Mr, C. H. Poole) is about to take unto 'himself a wife, and thus remove one of the complaints made against him that he did not show due appreciation of the worth of the ladies, seeing that • he had hitherto remained in single gleissed'ness. Ladies .are . naturally ever interested in a wedding; therefore it is not to be foondered that his Lady Election Committee waited v upon Mr Poole recently to the nuni-jf her of about 23, arid on their behalf* Mrs J. C. Beecroft presented that gentleman with three handsome pieces of furniture, as a contribution towards the new home.
