KAPUNI.

SOCIAL EVENING. (From Our Own Correspondent.) On the eve of their departure from Kapuni, a social evening was tendered at their residence, Manaia Road, to Mr and Mrs C. Winters and family by a large number of friends. Cards, dancing and competitions were the order of the evening. At an appropriate stage, Mr Jim Kissick, the chairman, spoke in eloquent terms of the valuable service Mr and Mrs Winters had given during their long stay of 12 years in the district. They had. at all times been honourable and worthy citizens, and their neighbours were very sorry to lose them; but all hoped that prosperity and happines would follow the guests to their new sphere of life. He then called on Mr Jack Ivissick to make the presentation. In a happy speech, Mr Kissick outlined the many good qualities of the guests, and, in presenting Mrs Winters with a salad set, bowl, and vase (in Jacobean), Mr Winters with a case of pipes and pocket-book, Miss Winters with a rose bqwl and Master. Ronnie Winters with a watch chain, hoped tfcat they would accept the gifts as a of remembrance of the esteem in which they would always bo remembered by the residents of tlie district. s

Messrs D. Bridge and P. Ingram also spoke and heartily endorsed the remarks by the previous speakers, Mr Winters thanked the people for their very generous and valuable ’gifts, whiclrwould always serve to remind him of the happy days he and his had put in at Kapuni. He was extremely sorry they were leaving the district. The singing of “Auld Lang Syne’’ and “For. He's a Jolly Good Fellow” brought a very enjoyable, evening to a close.
