Ihe Rev. T. F. Jones, paetor of Levin Methodist Church, is about to take a well-earned holiday, of a few weeks' duration. Hβ will spend his vacation at Titahi Bay. The Shell Picture Company arc again putting on a first-class programme on Monday evening at the Town Hall, Levin, and on Tuesday nt Shannon. Taking into account the houses this company is drawing it is evident that the pictures are becoming Tory popular. A bankrupt who was ad judged unihiancial in the year 18!);}, has within the past twelve months paid off all his creditors in full (says fclu.Otago Dkiily Times). His liabilities at that date amounted to £613 19s Bd, but now, after a lapse of 18 years, this sum has 'been liquidated by the payment of four quarterly instalments. Delegates representing the various riflo clubs of Horowihemia, County met at Otaki yesterday and discussed tho forthcoming competition for theField Shield. The 23rd .March wjls lixexl as tho c!ate for tho "shoot," at Palmorston North range. Discussion ensued regarding the Frosli Food and Ice Company's Cup, the second competition for which takes place this day fortnight. The disputed throe poiuis in Shannon Club's .list score was disallowed. This cii£ is fired for on the "stay at ihome" principle. In a Chronicle note in yesterday's seond edition explaining tho situation in South Africa, it was stated that "in the last four years the number of English teachers has been reduced in the Orange Free State from 400 to 500." 01' course, the error was obvious. In correcting the proof a comma was inserted, and the Jinotype developed the comma into an " 0," making 7>o in /iOO. The South African situation is. likely to bring about .some interesting developments, and these developments will from time to time be dealt with in our cable notes.
