PALMERSTON NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

The Anglican Sunday School's annual picnic was held at Shag Point on Wednesday last in perfect weather. The arrangements, which were under the direction, of the Rev. C. Webb, assisted by the teachers, were carried out successfully. A thoroughly enjoyable day was spent on the beach, and the pipnickers returned home by the evening train.

The harvest is now in full swing in this district. Despite the long spring drought and the many evil forebodings of a poor harvest the crops are cutting well up to the standard of past seasons.

Building is going on apace in Palmerston. There arc six residences being erected, . and the local builders have received orders for several other residential buildings. Good fish are very plentiful along the coast. Groper and' blue cod are being landed in boat loads at Kartigi Beach. To-day Palmerstonians are eating groper at Is for 201b and blue cod at 6 for Is.
