(Own Correspondent.) Last sale day Miss Hitchcock came to Pio Pio to demonstrate art work to the members of the Women s Division of the Farmers' Union, the ■work including leather, brass, and sealing wax demonstrations. After Miss Hitchcock had been introduced to the members by Mrs. C. Jackson, president, she explained in a most lucid manner how the work was done. The articles were then handed round for inspection and were very beautiful. At the conclusion Mrs. Cullen proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Miss Hitchcock, which was carried by acclamation. .
