damage involving the destruction of three sheds and about 100,000 feet of timber was caused by a fire which broke out at Baigent Bros.’ mill, near Deep Creek, Marlborough. But for the strenuous work of a large number of residents in the locality, the mill would have been burned. Even as it is, Baigent Bros., who have relatives in Whanga-* rei, will be heavy losers, as it is understood that the property which was destroyed was not insured. A pessimistic person has been writing to a London paper to complain that things have changed for the worse since he was young. He growls that there are no novels worth reading now, no plays worth seeing, no liquor worth drinking and no tobacco worth smoking! The old are hard to please. No tobacco worth smoking, eh! Well, New Zealanders, at any rate, tell another story! They are proud of the Dominion tobacco, and often say it’s equal is not to be found —a verdict repeatedly endorsed by visiting experts. “The flavour is exquisite,” said one, “and the bouquet appeals to all judges of good tobacco.” The secret of its excellence lies largely in its comparative freedom from the poisonous nicotine. It is roasted or toasted. No other tobacco is. There are five brands: Hiverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10. Our pessimistic friend should certainly sample it. If he does he will assuredly change his tune, and admit that there is still tobacco to be had ' “worth smoking.” R.P. 18.
