COUNTY ROADS. A short discussion took place with regard to the county road, and objection was strongly expressed at the remarks of Cr McLean at the last meeting of the Hawera County Council, which the members of the Board thought were made by Cr. McLean to mislead the ratepayers in making them believe that county rates had been spent on footpaths in the town district, whereas not one penny of county rates had ever been so expended. The Chairman said that such bias as shown by the Chairman of the Council augured ill for a satisfactory settlement" of the dispute. Resolved, That the clerk write to the Council, forwarding copy of the resolution passed at the special meeting held at Normanby on 27th May last, which reads : "That the road be put in order by the Board, the Council to pay half cost, pending a decision as to liability of maintenance, the body not being held responsible to refund."

The annual stocktaking sale now on at \ the Hawera Economic is an opportunity for all to secure high-class drapery at ridiculously low prices. No one who wants a large parcel for little money can afford to miss this opportunity. — Advt. About Colds. — In all countries and among all nations of the globe, cough medicines are used, and used probably more ' extensively than any other class of medicines. Every human being is subject ! to throat and lung troubles, which may terminate bis existence. People everywhere realise the dangerous consequences of a neglected, cold, for the majority 'of fatalities have their origin in and are characterised first by a simple cold. The more careful and prudent persons do not permit a cold to run its course, but treat it promptly. For many years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been in use throughout the United States and many other countries, and time has proven it to be Mia best adapted of any remedy yet made for all throat and lung diseases, and especially coughs, colds, croup, and whooping cdugh. It always cures and cures quickly. For tale, by W. E, : W#l-.
