Mr. F. Haddock, Junr. is making a stay at Christchurch. Mr. Tom Lucas, of Hokitika spent the week-end at Harihari. Mrs. Martini is on a visit to Cobden. Rev. Father D. Healy, of Kuma'ra, who has been appointed Parish Priest of Ross will have this district within his area. Mr. P. Sweeney and daughter, of Gi’eymouth are at present on a visit to South Westland. Miss Shirley Robertson of Westport paid a brief visit here on Sunday:. Miss Joan , Osmers of Ross was a visitor for the week-end. Mr. G. Poole, Vehicle Inspector, paid a visit here last week. General regret was felt at the death of Miss Julia Willis, who was well known in this district, inhere she received part of her education, and to her sisters and brothers the sympathy of the residents is expressed. At a meeting of the local Swimming Baths Committee on Friday night last, a' large number of the residents attended. The balance-sheet, presented by Mr. W. Levett, was considered very satisfactory. The resignation of Mr. T. Kelly as secretary on account of leaving the district was received. Mr. H. Osmers was elected Secretary, and Mr. W. Levett Chairman.

The end of the whitebait season is just about at hand. In the past fortnight fairly good catches have been made. The weather for the past few weeks, has been anything but pleasant, rain continuing day after day, and at periods it has been very cold, with snow down very low on the hillsides.
