We had quite a cold blast on Tuesday, the weather being very cold and unseasonable; it will also affect the blooms for the forthcoming flower show in connection with the Presbyterian Church, which is to be held during this month. A painful accident occurred, to Mr. Rowland’s son, Leslie, on Tuesday. While playing with a lawn mower, the little fellow had the misfortune to catch his finger in the machine, which had to be amputated at the first joint. The little sufferer is going on as well as can be expected. Mrs. Dews and family leave this week on a visit to Mohaka. Mr. and Mrs. F. Maidens are visiting Auckland and Rotorua. Mr. Winston is the guest of Rev. and Mrs. A. P. Clarke, at the Vicarage. Bales of wool continue to pass through Taradale, motor lorries! making their daily trips.
