A nasty mishap befel James Prouse, the eight-year-old son of Mr L. W. Prouse, of' Queen Street, when he was riding home from town on a The exact circumstances of the accident are not known, as when the boy was found he was unconscious, but it is assumed that the pony slipped and fell on the bitumen near Quecnwood Road. The boy sustained severe, bruises and abrasions about the front of the head, and in the region of one eye.

Elderly people—alas! with too good leason —often feel themselves neglected. They are given the impression that they are "not wanted." They are set aside and so brood over the ingratitude of those for whom they toiled and suffered in younger days. The Anniversary of Wellington Province is marked by Early Settlers' reunions and other similar celebrations. It is most fitting that the Church should recognise those who have spent their years in the service of their country. The Rev. Wm. Beckett feels strongly on..these lines and so on Sunday morning a service will be held in the Century Hall at which a loving tribute to "the "old folk" will be paid. It is hoped that as many elderly people as possible will endeavour to be present and that the younger portion of the community will gather in large numbers to show their respect for the pioneers who have done 3) much to make this fair hind what it is to-day.

A small portion of the waste lands if planted in tobacco would be sufficient to transform this pcveity-stricken district into regions of affluence and wealth: £SO net is the average yield of a tobacco crop per acre and often more. Few people realise the immerse possirilities of the tobacco" industry, but anyone wanting information on the subject is referred to the ready manufactured article, "Riverhead Gold" mildest of all; Toasted Navy Cut" (Bulldog) of .medium.-strength; and "Cut Plug No. (Bullhead}, full Strength.-. Do not 'forget >4hat all three brands V are "toasted" and therefore more wholesome than the average class of good'* from ovseas, often so harmful on the score of excess nicotine—27*
