WOODVILLE.

[OWN 00BBI3P0ND3NT.]

One of the Methodist local preachers had an experience that might easily, have been worse, on Sunday evening. He was on his bicycle going up an incline to the Ngaourupurua just about dusk, keeping carefully to his own side of the road, when another cyclist coming down on tho wrong side, ran fairly into him, tyra to tyre. Luckily there were no serious injuries to either, but the Woodvilie man was bruised, and his machine had to go into the doctor’s hands.

The Maoris have succeeded in getting quarters, so the Land Court is continuing its sitting here. One house was occupied without consulting the owners, obtaining the key or going through any ether formalities. Probably it was reckoned that possession would be nine points of the law. A Seventh-day Adventist service was held m the Foresters' Hall on Sunday evening, but the attendance was not large. The service was conducted by a lady who announced herself as a missionary, nurse and cookery teacher.
