KATIKATI.

From our own CoßirasroNDEtfT

Welcome, all hail.to thee! Welcome >the birth of the Oiiinemuki Gazette -and Upper Thames Warden, and I join, with many friends hero intbe hope that the journal will meet with that success •which it deserves find which-its proa- • pacts define: -Croakers may say, that journalistic enterprise in a small place like'Paeroa cannob pay, bat -we must bear in mind that Paeroa is destined before long to become a most important centre and the growth of'the;paper will :proceed with the 'prosperity of your district, supported, as it is, ;by >the development of the vast mining in* dustries of Karangahake, W-aitekauri, ■Waihi and before long if report eaya truly, by the introduction of further English capital at Owharoa. Much depends npon the management of the business,, in Mr Henry you have a gentleman well-known, esteemed and respecter] dining the seventeen -years he has conducted similar duties at Taurang*, which in itself should guarantee success while he will be assisted byil<?cal gentlemen afc faeroa who are not only ' iiojd busiaess men but familiar with literary and journalistic work, and the shares being so small should be .within the reach of the working bees -of the community,, thus creating the paper into a co-operative concern, combining capital with labour. Our interests.at katikati are bound up with our nearest market—the gold fields at Waihi and neighbourhood—it is therefore but a question of time, before our commercial intercourse and exchange of; products gravitate to your township "while and so.far as Tarn concerned '(and many •join me in the desire)"l trust that fthe Katikati Biding may before long be amalgamated into jour County and separated from Tauranga, but on 'this siibjecfe more hereafter in a subsequent letter. I therefore trust that it your directors have any more Shares for disposal, arrangements will be made ;for «. personal, canvass of this locality, with a view to enlist the co-operation of further shareholders and subscriber^ bearing iv mind the vror Js of the almost inspired Shakespeare—

Oar doubts are traitors, • And make us lose the good we of c might-win, By fearing to attempt,

But, I intended to have "sent you some local gossip and fear you consider this epistle to resemble very much the style of a iady's letter the entire interest of which id tisuallv to.be tound in theP.S."
