(Own Correspondent). Mr. Chas. Rose, who was a patient in the hospital at Waipukurau for some time, has made a good recovery and is now able to return home. The monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held last evening in the borough room, Mr. A’Deane presiding over a fair attendance. Correspondence from the Associated' Chambers of Commerce was read and discussed. It was decided to write to the stationmaster in regard to delivery of goods and parcels by the railway, :Ao to ask the Associated Chambers of Commerce to approach the Post and Telegraph Department for a reduction in the rate of telephones. After a general discussion by the members the meeting closed.

A sufficient profit to purchase two new uniforms will probably result from the annual ball of the Municipal Band, held on Friday night. The attendance was well up to expectations, visitors being present in large numbers from Waipukurau, Otane, and other parts of the district. The programme included a number of old-time dances. The supper was an outstanding feature of the evening. To Mrs L. H.
