Mr T. A. Bushe Bailey, solicitor, will be in Opunake on Friday next. Tenders are called for removal of a building. Messrs 0. McHardy and J. M, Hickey give notice to trespassers during shooting season. The Oaonui School premises have been treated to a new coat of paint, and now present quite a neat appearance. The Town Board, at its meeting on Monday night, granted a subsidy of £3O to the Wharf Company. Mr McGloin produced a very animated scene at the Eoad Board meeting on Monday which, out of consideration for his feelings, we refrain from publishing, as in his cooler moments he will no doubt feel as ashamed of it as the ratepayers would if they saw it in print. A subscription list has been opened in aid of the widow and family of the late 0. E. Beaumont, of Hawera, who lost his life on the mountain. It is intended with the money to purchase a home for the bereaved family. A list is open at this office, where contributions from the charitably disposed will be received and published. Owing to the school-room at Okato undergoing alterations Mr Henry Brown, M.H.E., is unable to obtain the use of it for Monday, 2nd May, His address at Okato therefore stands postponed for the present, also the advertised visit to Pungarehu on 3rd. If he can obtain the use of the Oaonui schoolroom for Monday, Liay 2nd, he will give an address there on that date, due notice of which will be given. Major Kemp, the famous Maori chief of Wanganui, died at the Putiki pah, close to town on Friday morning, aged 75. He had been ailing for a fortnight with bronchitis and rheumatism. Deceased was one of the most powerful allies during native troubles in the early days. He was holder of the New Zealand cross and medal, and was presented by the Queen with a sword for conspicuous bravery and valuable assistance rendered. Mr John Stitt has just received four hundred pairs of men’s, women’s, and children’s boots from the Premier factory, specially selected for the winter season. Being such a large buyer he has made special arrangements with the Premier Factory, and is in a position to defy competition with this splendid make of boots. He is content with a small profit, as his motto is “ Small profits, quick returns.”—Advt. Mr 0. Cummins has arrived in Opunake for the purpose of holding a fourteen days'' cheap sale, to make room for a consignment of new goods ex Eimutaka from London. A big lot of stuff must be cleared before arrival of new goods. O. Cummins has already opened up a nice lot of dress goods in navy serges and other materials, flannels, blankets, rugs, also flannelettes for winter wear. The prices of clothing and boots will be also very much reduced. The public would do well to call early, Mr W. B. Rush, Oakland, Fla., writes : “I employ Sander and Sons Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract as a local application in chronic inflammations and rheumatic pains ; internally in nephritic as well as in pulmonary, gastric, and vesical catarrh. It is sometimes difficult to obtain the genuine article, I employed different other preparations, they had no therapeutic value and no effects. In one case the effects were similar to the oil camphora, the objectionable action of which is well known.”—This is certainly a most striking evidence of the superiority of this excellent preparation over any other.— Insist getting Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract, or else you will be supplied with worthless oils. People recovering from an illness often suffer a relapse through weakness caused by poorenss of the blood. This can easily be seen by the color of their blood. Teed’s Quinine and Iron Tonic has been specially prepared to give tone tp the system and increase the appetite. If a man can’t eat he can’t work. If he wont work he shouldn’t eat. Sold in bottles 2s Gd each. J f\. pain in the chest is nature’s warning that pneumonia is threatened. Dampen a piece of flannel with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and bind over the seat of pain, and another on the back between the shoulders, and prompt relief will follow. Sold by Newman Bros. From December 1895 to the corresponding month in 1896 it is estimated that about GSO people met their death in New Zealand through that terrible disease consumption. From 1896 to 1897 this number has considerably decreased. The reason for this is most probably on account of the increased sale of Teed’s Cough Elixir. Persons suffering from coughs, colds, and all chest complaints should at once procure a bottle of this reliable remedy. The price, Is and 2s, is within the reach of all.
