The swelling spread steadily up the muscles of the leg to the knee, causing much discomfort and inconvenience and necessitating complete rest for a few days. The swelling had however disappeared on Sunday morning. An unfortunate accident befell Mr. C. Garlick on Friday afternoon. When in the act of crutcliing some sheep he had the misfortune to cut his knee with the point of his shears.

Greenwood, late of this district, now of Day’s Bay, Wellington, who with her small daughter Patricia is spending a short holiday with Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Simmons, of Mangamutu, was a visitor to Mokomoko at the week-end. Under the able leadership of Mrs. F. C. Ebbett, a quartet of musical members of our Women’s Institute is engaged in practicing glees for the entertainment of their fellow members at next Thursday’s meeting.
