BUYING A PIANO.

During our animal balance this month we are prepared to offer terms of payment even more advantageous than the very liberal and exceptional terms we extend in the ordinary course of business. Perhaps you do not want terms; but if you do this is your special opportunity. All our instruments are absolutely good, bearing—in addition to the names of famous makes such as the Broadwood, the Reinsch, the Lipp, and the Steinway—the guarantee of our wide ! repute and long experience. If we sell ' you a piano during this annual balance ! period, you are assured of a fine instrument, and the payments will be too easy to bother you at all. The Dresden Piana Company, Limited. Wellington, North Island manager: M. J. Brookes; local representative, A. M. Conroy. 1

Hutchen (instructed by Mr P. O'Dea. Hawera). The fortnightly meeting of the Hawera Fire Brigade was held on Wednesday evening, when routine business was transacted. The election of officer* was further postponed, until July 3. The meeting of the Egmont Motorcycle Club convened for Wednesday evening lapsed for want of a quorum. The rough weather prevented the majority of members, especially those in the country, from being present. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, the meeting of the Wanganui Coliegiate School Old Boys' Association (Hawera branch) was poorly attended. Air It. Li. Levin, who came up from \\ anganui, gave a short account of the doings of the Association, and the progress of the chapel fund. Another meeting will be held later on. A writer signing himself "Merchant, in a letter to the Otago Daily rimes says: "Commercial travellers say they cannot sell anything or very littWto a company doing business in a'southern town because all purchases for tbafc company are made through the firm of l<airbairn, Wright and Co. It is further stated by travellers that the com- • pany is owned by the Hon. Thos. Mackenzie, so that business relations exist between him and the firm of Fairbairn YVright and Co., and that is why Mr 1< air burn was appointed a member of the Commission. Can these statementr be true? If so, is it any wonder if th» Commission should not be taken seriously. It is stated that the strike is depopulating Waihi to such an extent that there is a difference of 121 (approximately) in the daily average of pupils* attending the three schools.
