ALEXANDRA NOTES

Welcome rain fell on Tuesday evening. It commenced to patter on the roofs and maintained an incessant downpour well on through the night. To-day the clouds have hung around, and to-night the weather is showery, with every indication of another go‘od night of ‘it. The effect of this rain will be invaluable to stock owners and agriculturists all over Central Otago, because, we have so far had an exceptionally dry season, and it was necessary that a very heavy soaking should be given to the land, and particularly to the tussock country and grass paddocks. This rain will also be a Godsend to the young orchards and to Printlands in particular. With regard to our fruit outlook information from all round from Cromwell to Roxburgh points to a record season. The early apricots did not suffer any material <1 a mage at all, and trees I have seen are simply laden, whilst the bloom on ihe peach and other later trees cannot be surpassed. In buildings Alexandra is going ahead. Mr Thomas Wilkinson has the new addition to the High School well under way. The tenders for the .Carnegie Library are in, and a new post office will soon be erected. These additions will much improve the architecture of the town.

The rabbit canning factory is giving employment to a considerable number of hands and circulating a good deal of money in the district. 'The day may como when more industries will be established up here. With our mognificent water power going to waste and our sublime climate we should have the potentialities of many future factories. The annual Burns social this year took the form of a dance, the proceeds going to_ the patriotic funds. Whilst this is wise at present, I hops the society will not allow their old traditions to die out. Of late years many of the earlier members have complained that it was getting too colonial, and I must confess I am ono of those who like to eee the old customs and old ways our forefathers loved kept in remembrance. The blending of the old with the new can be done, and ought ever to be the aim of those who perpetuate the old and lovable traditions.— Own correspondent, October 7.

AIR SHAKES’S EXPERIENCE. • ' For ever 30 years Air James Shakes has been a resident of Wellington. His shop in Alanne.rs street is well known, and his experience will be interesting to many a sufferer from Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, Lumbago, Rheumatic Gout, Slope, Gravel, and kindred diseases. He writes : “During a severe attack of Rheumatic Gout I tried RHEUAIO. All pains left me 20 minutes after the first dose, and by the following morning all swelling had disappeared. Hearing that a friend was suffering from Rheumatic Gout, I went up to his place with a bottle of RHEUAIO, and, as in my case, the result was a- cure. I can honestly recommend RHEUAIO to sufferers from Rheumatic Gout. As a cure it is a certainty.” Perhaps you have found that ether socalled “remedies”—liniments, embrocations, plasters, salts, or pills—could not cure your Rheumatism or Gout. RHEUAIO is the one medicine for these diseases. Chemists, 2s 6d and 4s 6d.
