Kereru.
■'■ ♦ " (from our own cobbespondent.) Influenza or la grippe is now the rule wherever you go and Kereru ia no exception. In one instance a whoUp family, consisting of nine children besides the parents, suffered more or less from the epidemic. The school was closed for several days but work has been resumed though the attendance is low. Dr Buller visited the Maorias here last Saturday for the purpose of obtaining photographs for the Governor of the principal natives, amongst them being Eereopa Tukumara and his niece Aputa daughter of the late chief Ihakara Tukemara. He also liberated a number of trout in the Koputoroa stream. He was entertained by the Maoris in good style and left by the train on Monday. In a short time all the bush on the west side of the railway line between here and Heatlierlea will be felled so there will be great havoc among the logs when the burni.ig season arrives. Grass is in a very flourishing condition but in a short time thistles in many places will entirely hide it from view. The county road to Shannon is still in a very second rate order.
