According to the Southland Times of the 17th inst. the present entertain raent provided by this popular com pany surpasses those of former years.

The pictures arc almost all new to Invercargill, and are particu larly good, even for Mr Montgomery. The musical strength of the company consists of four—Mr Montgomery and Mrs Hilda Uargood are old friends and need no introduction ; Mr Tan Harman is an amusing comic and Mr Will Monk is a clever musician, It is estimated that 10,000 tons of fodder have been exported this past season from Southland to Central Otago and North Otago to feed starving stock. M r John Wilson's residence at Lau der, one of the finest farm homesteads in the district, was destroyed by fir on Saturday evening.
