LOCAL AND GENERAL.

About 300 gallons of milk are being received at the local dairy factory on alternate days. This is considered most satisfactory, as the majority of the dairy herds have not yet come to profit. There is now a good sole of grasis on the Arrow Bowling 'Club’s green, and it is anticipated that it will fie ready for play during the present season. At a meeting of the Otago Land last Wednesday, John McMaster applied to surrender his miscellaneous license No. 3504, over an area of Crown land on the left bank of the Arrow* River, near its junction with the Kawarau River, comprising 37 acres.—License determined as from September 13, 1930, There was a large attendance at the congregational social held in St. John’s Presbyterian Church on Wednesday evening last. Items were rendered by the choir, and recitations were given by Misses Elaine and Daphne Peterson and Master Ray Stables. The Rev. G. Budd, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand, was present, and gave a most interesting address. Supper was provided by the ladies of the congregation. While riding from Arrow town to his home at Crown Terrace on Wednesday afternoon last, Mr John Dennison met with a serious accident. He left Arrowtown at about 2 o’clock and shortly after 4 o’clock he was found by Miss Marjory Smith lying at the side of the road a short distance from the top of “‘Tobin’s road.” Miss Smith went for assistance, and Messrs G. Metzger, Jas. O’Fee and John Stevenson conveyed the injured man by motor to his home. Dr Ferguson was sent for, and it was found that Mr Dennison had one of his legs broken at the knee, and he had also ' received severe internal injuries. He was taken to Cromwell hospital on Thursday, and the latest news is that his condition is serious. It is surmised that the horse stumbled and rolled on the unfortunate man. The rains at the beginning of last week have made a wonderful improvement in the appearance of the district. During the last few days crops and pastures have come on well. “What do you know' about smoking?” bawded the big man. The little man seated next to him in the crowded Wellington tram-car repeated, mildly, that he had always heard smoking was injurious. “Quite,” roared the big man, “and you’ve probably heard the moon is (made of green cheese, but you don’t have to believe it, do you? The imported stuff, chock-full of nicotine poison, is injurious, of course, But smoke the toasted New Zealand and it won’t do you a ha’porth of harm, The toasting kills the nicotine, see ? Take my tip —learn to smoke, and make your miserable life happy, and begin with toasted “Riverhead.” Very mild. There’s three other toasted brands; “Navy Out No. 3, Cavendish’’ and “Cut Plug No. 10.’ You can try them later, seel So long!” and he alighted. The little man seemed relieved. But he’s going to try “Riverhead.” He’ll like it, too. The four' brands of toasted are the only ones manufactured. They are great favourites with all smokers, because they possess so much flavour and such a delicious bouguet.
