Glenore

I * ) (Fbom Our Own Correspondent. ) The mild weather has made the aeadon early and farming operations are well advanced. Mr Palmer, of , Mount Stnart, has as usual his Beaaon'a work well in hand and has already some winter wheat in the ground. Potatoes on the -whole have been a good crop, but sorae of the wuite crops were late, so late in some cases that they were bardly worth harvesting. The members of the quadrille club have begun their annual assemblies and e.'>joy three hours on the light fantastic too every alternate Friday evening, under the careful chaperouage of Mr Wallia. The Woolahed Dredge ia still on very good gold, and the pontoons of the new Stirling Dredge are well on their way towards completion. Immense numbers of rabbits are shipped daily from the Glenore Station by Mr Alex. Cameron, the local agenr. They have had a worse time this autumn than ever before, and ie is shown that when a good price is set on his head bunny does not survive in large numbers. Owing to the heavy traffic, the Glenore road is in a bad state at present ; however, large heaps of metal are to be seen at intervals on the road nde. Mr Pettigrew has the repairs in hand and is now busy breaking the metal. Cyclists will have a bad time up this way for a while a«j tyres are easily punctured by the sharp metal. Glenore is quite noted for its etone quarry, no less than 150 eg yards, or thirty truck loads, having been aeuc to Lawrence within the last three weeks. There is one pieca of road near Mr Clymer's that is ratber heartbreaking to cyciista and persons with newly polished shoes, and these would be no doubt greatly obliged to the County Council if it would authorise a little repairing in that quarter.
