LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Good progress is being made with the work in connection < with the Arrow Borough water improvement scheme. For the past fortnight Mr V. 'Wynn, representative of the N.Z. Steel and Iron Company (Auckland) has been engaged in erecting and welding together the parts of the new tank, and this work . is nearing completion. Shearing was finished at Glencoe Station hist week, and a start .was made with Mr B. H. Bairds (Mtt. Soho) flock yesterday. There was a small attendance at the adjourned annual meeting of members of the Wakatipu - Collie Club, held on Saturday evening last Last vear’s office-bearers were reelected and it was decided to abandon the trials for this year. Full report next week. Members of the Arrow Bifle Club held a shoot on Saturday last, the prize being a fat lamb donated by Mr G. C. Butel. The conditions were five shots at 800, 500, and 600 yards, with open sights. Owing, no doubt, to the intense heat experienced, the shooting generally was very poor. Hifleman T. E. Thompson made top score, with Rifleman J. M. Butel runner-up. Tim riflemen named were also the winners, respectively, of the James gold and silver buttons. As a man grows older his tastes visually change and things that formerly appealed to him somehow lose their attraction. He may, perchance, have cherished ambitions, dreamed dreams; or been keen on, sport, the theatre, travel, reading, social intercourse. But when he enters upon the "sere and yellow leaf” stage of existence, he seldom cares much for “any of these things." There is, however, a taste that once acquired, rarely deserts any man—his love of his pipe, frequently as greatly- relished at eighty, as St Avas ajt five*and-twenty. Unfortunately, however, many tobaccos are so full of nicotine they’re unsafe to smoke at any agel The purest of all are the toasted ones*—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Biverhead Gold and Desert Gold, which are largely freed of nicotine by toasting ( the manufacturers! marvellous and unique process), are by toasting (the manufacturers’ marsimply unequalled for bouquet, and the power to soothe and solace so highly appreciated by smokers Buy any of the brands enumerated and you’ll avoid rubbishy imitations. The genuine toasted oanft be imitated.
