SMOKE WREATHS.
Great doings ! The Governor visiting Marlborough ! Unlimited demand for greenstuff to make decorations. Triumphal arch .in Blenheim, Monument of architectural skill. . Public holidays. “ Niver wus sieh times.” And now when his Excellency is here let’s get him to do something for us. This evergreen business is all very well but don’t let us forget the interests of the place. Bye the bye isn’t the Express getting patriotic over this business ! Oh yes, Socialism i 3 all very well, but when you have the chance of being introduced to a real live Governor, it makes all the difference 1 ‘ ‘ And George my lawful King shall be —until the times do alter,” as the Vicar of Bray says 1 ' , . A • journey on the Picton-Blenheim line is now recommended by the Faculty as a cure for indigestion ! Shakes you up ! You can now enjoy the sensation of a dozen high-pressure earthquakes at any time for a few shillings ! Timaru harbour loan floated, Always do get floated, these, loans. Great pity they can’t borrow, in the Colony ! - - -
