An impounding notice appears elsewhere. Additions to Mr Matthow Henry’s next Pahiatua stock sale are advertised in unotiier column. Messrs Brown and Avery are busily engaged arranging the handicaps for the Boxing Day sports. A large posse of police under Inspector Emerson were in Woodville on Saturday keeping the peace. They had an easy time. Mr J. J. Meikle has decided to accept the i.'500 recommended by the Petitions Committee to bo given him in lull settlement of his claims. A rehearsal of “ Our Boys ” will be held at Mr MackinSay’s shop to-morrow (Tuesday) evening at 7.30. Full attendance requested.

Messrs Hawke and Hoar have just opened up a varied and choice assortment of Japanese goods suitable for Xmas presents. The goods are now on viovv at the firm’s warehouse, Mainstreet. Mr Bob Vile left this afternoon to join tile staff of the Hastings Standard. By taking up a journalistic path he starts on a rocky journey. Wo wish him success nevertheless. Mrs Hamilton’* clearing sale starts to-day and Christmas fancy goods at the reduced sale price should find ready sale. No doubt the public will avail themselvesof the opportunity to purchase Xmas and New Year gifts. Owing to the holidays the Farmers’ Association has decided to hold their next sale on Thursday, the 30th inst., instead of Friday, the 31st. The list of stock advertised to-day for that salo is a large one, and if the entries continue the sale will be a record one. The following players will represent the Pahiatua Cricket Club against Woodville on the former’s ground next Wednesday : Bottomley, Hawke, Duley, McKonna. Gault, J. Griffith, Marshall, lleeve, Hodder, Macloskey, Briggs. Emergencies, Timms and Ramsay. One oi the most striking features of of the railway celebration at Woodville on Saturday was Mr McPhaii’s landau and pair of dashing greys. The expression on ** Mac’s” face shewed that he was fully conscious of his responsibility when driving Lord and Lady lianfurly. It was difficult for people to believe that such a slashing turn-out hailed from Pahiatua. The Right Honorable the Premier looks as fit and w r ell as ever, and on Saturday spoke with all his old fire. The Conservative press for some time has besn hinting at the worried appearance of the Premier. This section ut tiie press writes that which it would like to observe. The right honorable gentleman is in good form notwithstanding the obstructive tactics of the Opposition. Ho received a splendid reception ut Woodville. Mr Vile’s coach, leaving here at 4 p.m. for Woodville will take a mail for Dannevirke and bring back the New Plymouth, Palmerston North and intermediate mails at 8 p.m., but the Postal Department will not agree to this coach service after the end of the year, as it is considered the train service will be quite sufficient without it. There will be three daily mails to Wellington. A goods trains connects with the early train at Cross Creek, arriving in Wellington at 5.10. Owing to some as yet unexplained cause the guard’s van of the excursion train on Saturday from Wellington to Woodville got off the rails betwoen liukanui und Makakihi. But that which needs the most explanation is why the van was left behind for the excursion train (due shortly after) to run into. The latter was delated nearly two hours in consequence. A Press Association telegram from Wellington says that there will be no enquiry into the accident to the excursion train on Saturday, the oflicials being satisfied it was caused by a rail spreading owing to undue expansion.Wo respectfully draw the attention of the Railway Depaitment to tho urgent necessity of appointing an additional porter at the Pahiatua railway station. We cannot say who is to blame for the sweating system under which tho present porter is working, hut in justice to him we emphatically state that the amount of work devolving upon one miln is sufficient to keep threo porters hard at work. At present six trains a day have to be attended to, and the amount of wool to be handled daily is sufficient to keep two porters engaged. Carriers are compelled to help themselves from trucks or waste hours waiting. This matter must be attended to. Mr 11. Carlson notifies by advertisement to-day that his timber yard at Mangatairioka is in full swing. He has more than one mill in Danovirketo select from, and consequently build* rs can get exactly the cla.*s of timber they require. The dressed timber stacked by Mr Carlson is equal to any offered in the colony, having been dressed by the latest and most-improved machinery. Mouldings and dressed timber have been made a speciality. The existence of a wellstocked timber yard in the centre of this large progressive district must receiyo support.
