KAITANGATA.

(From Uur Own Corrcspondunt.) The Kaitaiiguta liilles paraded for inspection by Adj.-('apt Trash on Tuesday last when then, was a good attendance; ('apt. Soilness in command. The inspecting ollicer said he was very well pleasd with the work done. lie wa< particularly well pleased with (lie work of the -eruvants. and also with the way the men answered the various ipicstioiis put to them. Before the parade dismissed ('a)it. Trask presented I'vt. C. Frazer with a long-service medal (Hi years), and hoped he would be long spared to Wear it, and that a number of the young members oi the corps would follow the example of IM. l-Va/cr. The S.M. Court. had a Uig innings al Kaitangata on Thursday last, as far as numbers were coiicei led. None, of the cases were of a Very serious nature, the bulk of them brim: bleaches of the by-laws. Owing io the wet weather of late some nt our streets have been almost impassable, it being had to know in some places where the road lice-ins and win re the footpath ends, limine. ~n the footpath was the principle crime, a number of our business men Inning to appear on Ihat account. At th<_ particular pla »■ where so tuaii\ of our citizens abused the b\i-law the roadis in a disgraceful stale, One butcher was seen to swim out the other day minus his grenscbo.. which had been pulled oil in the slrue-i.de, ami w tl s beinir towed some distance in the rear. This on the main street of our thriving town. However. a bye-l u w's a bv-law, and must be respected, and on Thursday last it cost a number of our business people live bob to learn that good old nigger s.m.j, "K.cp in de middle ob (|e road." During the last few davs the weather h a s been first-class, in fact, real spring weather. Things arc drying up wonderfully. Tannine- and gardening operations are being pushed ahead vigonmslv, and already' the face of Mother Karlh is beginning to show a freshness that betokr-ns an early spring.
