The trust that's given thee guard, and to thyselj be just.
To-day will be a bank holiday and a close holiday at the local post office. Efforts are being' made at Arthur's Point to raise funds sufficient to build a gospel hall there.

As a consoguence the rivera were in a flooded state for some hours. At the final meeting for the season of the Arrow Football Club, a debit balance was shown of £4 odd over the recent' County match.

A sorrowing !iust..ai.i:i and three young children art; •eft. to mourn the loss of one they loved so dear. Sympathy with them in their sore trial is widespread. At Waipawa Mr Cutten, S.M., gave judgment for defendant with costs in Watson v. White, claim £IOO for the death of sheep allege'; to be due to the use of defendant's dip. The case is of great interest to sheep farmers, it occupied five days.

Reynolds and Co.'s new advertisements in this issue respecting their well and favorably known Reston vehicles. Ma V. J. Delaney (formerly cadet in the local post office) who has filled the position of telegraphist in the Lawrence office for the past two years, is under orders to report himself at the Christehurch office. During his stay in Lawrence Mr Delaney proved himself to be a very courteous and obliging officer, and his many friends will be pleased to hear of his promotion, which is certainly well deserved. William Feasly, a young man who was married only about six months ago, was killed at Dunedin on Saturday evening by a fall from his bicycle as he was returning to business from his house in Cargill street, and in turning a corner to Filleul street, the machine is supposed to have skidded, and he was thrown heavily on his head on the footpath. He was found unconscious and died some hours later.
