Mr G. Marley, ironmonger, etc., notifies that in addition to his large stock of general ironmongery, particulars of which will be found in advertisement, he has a large stock of fishing tackle which anglers are invited to inspect. He has also on sale White Kose kerosene, guaranteed 150 test, at lowest sale price. Mr G. Matthews wants applications at once for cutting 30 cords firewood. We have on sale at the Herald office butter paper in any quantities. A new advertisement from Messrs Harding and Adams re tomato plants arrived too late for insertion in this issue. Mr J. Watt, manager for the Balclutha Water-gas Company, left for Greytown to-day. He addresses a public meeting called by the Mayor and Borough Councillors on the best scheme tor lighting the Greytown borough.

With our next issue Mr Frank Haigh will publish an inset drawing attention to “ Our Boys ” cigarettes manufactured on the premises and put up in boxes at 9 sixpence per box. Mr Haigh also an- e nounces that he has imported a large r stock of stationery, books and school ( requisites which he is prepared to sell at ~ revolution prices. Public attention is directed to the list 1 of articles for Mr J. Prenter’s clearing J sale, among which are a case of beautiful huias and a choice assortment of r _ fancy work done by Mrs Prenter, whose ability in this department is too well known to need comment. Some prize Leghorn and Plymouth Rock fowls and a first-class cow near calving have been added to the list. Mr F. C. W. Bierre, of Danevirke, , proprietor of the woollen factory there, was in Pahiatua yesterday. He is the * largest consumer of water-gas in Dane- < virke, using it for lighting, cooking ' and motive power for driving his ; machines. In course of conversation he assured us that the water-gas is all , that is claimed for it, and he is delighted with the results. Such unsolicited testimony as to the quality of the gas to be supplied to the Pahiatua public is undoubtedly assuring. At the Salvation Army limelight service in Kaitawa last night the weather interfered with the attendance, but those who weathered the storm enjoyed the meeting. Views showing the bravery of the London firemen weie excellent, as abo were the thrilling adventures in an expedition to the North Pole. The “ Relief of Lucknow ” was very interesting and showed that British pluck always comes out well in times of danger. Views showing the rescue of a young man from drunkenness pictured the temptations of city life. The closing pictures, the “ Life of Christ,” left an impression. Thus the W.D. Times:—“Our lato visitor (Mr T. E. Taylor) expressed in somewhat strong terms the influence which the Premier exsreises over some of his ‘ free and independent ’ supporters. There is nothing new in this either in a Colonial Assembly or in the Homo Parliament. Half a century ago Douglas Jerrold expressed a somewhat similar idea with felicity when he made ono of his characters say to a member of Parliament : ’ I thought you were changed into a garden roller, and that the Minister did nothing but turn you round and round!’ Many of our M’s.ILK. play admirably the part of garden rollers, and the Premier pulls them round and round with a vigorous arm. Who can blame the Premier for making use of the implements at his command for the work he desires to perform ? Has he not, for example, levelled a very rough track with his Old Age Pension Bill, by the simple process of polling his rell'-rs round and round? The rollers have smoothed every dilliculty in his path, and wo do not wonder that he is jubilant. If the electors of any constituency choose to return garden rollers as their representatives, and to tender their handles to the Minister in power, ho is quite justified in ! making use of them. The Premier is a good workman, and when the electors furnish him with tools he knows how to use them. Docs he, we wonder, know how to grease his rollers so that they pull easily?” The Premier’s “garden rollers ” on the (did Age Pensions Bill dehate were Messrs Cudman, Duncan, (1 ilfeddor,Graham, Guinoss, llall-.Jones, Holland, Joyce, Larnach. Lawry, O'Meara, l’arata, Stevens, Symes, Hon. T. Thompson. None of them spoke a 1 word on the measure but were in readii ness in the lobbies to troop in and vote r as the Party whip directed. Tho curso of Party Government! Of the three hundred novelties in Ladies’ llats now being shown at Mac* kinlay and Co.’s no two are alike. • Tomato plants carefully packed and ' posted to any address, Is (id per dozen, j IDs per 100, at Holton’s “Premier” I Nurseries.
