NOTES.

The weather has held a prominent place among topics of conversation in Woodville during the past week. Since the early part of the week there has heen a total absence of frosts, and the days have been characterised by clear skies and warm sunshine —quite unusual for this time of the year. Vital statistics for the registration district of Dannevirke for last month, with comparative figures for the corponding month of last year in parentheses. are : Births, 20 (28) ; deaths, 10 (7'; marriages, 4 (4). Knocked over in a collision with a motor car driven by Mr C. Squires, of Range Road, Woodville, in the vicinity of the Foresters’ Hall last night, Mr E. H- Giles, of Vogel Street, Woodville, suffered slight leg injuries which necessitated his entering the Dannevirke Hospital for treatment. It was learned on inquiry this morning that his condition was satisfactory. At the Foresters’ euchre tournament the winner was Mr H. McNeil, with Mrs Hayes second. Miss Watts gained third place after a play-off with Mr C. Wa.ro. The annual quadrangular basketball tournament, between Hutt Val’ev High School.
