T- . ' ■I •_ ' . ■ ; » SUFFERERS from indigestion enjoy the good thing, of the table after taking Pearson's Pepto-chlor. At a .meeting- of tlie Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association a. letter was received from the director of the Technical College asking', that the Association's -contribution for the. year -should' be- paid as soon ag possible, so that the subsidy granted, by the Government might be collected. The chairman (Mr Murphy) said that 'there 'was' a ,pl6t of land in connection with tho school where boys could learn somethinjg' about plants and the rudiments of agriculture. The school was doing excellent work. Mr C. P. Hugoniri thought it was extraordinary that the technical education of the town children should have to be paid for by the agricultural and pastoral industries. There was every inducement for boys to go to the country to learn farming, and they would' get more practical knowledge there 'among farmers than, at a technical school. The chairman replied that tlie Technical College instruction was for young, boys. Mr C. H. Ensor said- that it wa& a very useful tiling to train town boys for country work. Throughout the present Conciliation Baird proceedings, the town boy had bee . held up <is useless and any step that taught liim something of country life was a, good one.

Frozen Meat and Produce Export Company, about 350 shareholders and friends visited Mataura for the purpose of inspecting the company's freezing works. The gathering (says a correspondent) has now become an annual fixture, and takes the form of a social union. Luncheon was serveel in the Agricultural Hall on the arrival of the visitors, the managing director of the company (Mr John M'Qween) presiding. In welcoming the visitors, Mr M'Queen spoke of the importance of the frozen meat industry in Southland, and the very satisfactory position attained by the company. They had recently expended £11,000 in making extensive improvements in the Mataura, works, which were now one of the most up-to-date in. the Dominion. Other speakers were Messrs W. B. Scandrett (Mayor of Invercargill), Messrs J. E. Watson and T. Buxton (directors), and Mr W. Darcy (Eastern Bush). The works were then inspected, great interest being taken in the freezing operations. •' * ... FRENZIED WITH FEAR Are many who develop lung trouble.

Thompson, commander of the second squadron and third division of the fleet. The Navy Department says that RearAdmiral Evans is not suffering from any permanent incapability, but is again a victim of rheumatic gout, from which he has suffered for many years, and which is directly the result of the injury he received at Fort Fisher during the Civil War. Before he sailed from Hampton roads, Admiral Evans was confined to his flagship, and nearly all the heavy social duties incident to the gathering devolved upon his ' subordinate high officers. His condition improved materially on the voyage southward, but prudence prevented him accepting the hospitality of the numerous banquets tendered at Trinidad and Rio. He did manage to get ashore one day at the latter port, and was reported to have improved in condition when he arrived at Punta Arenas, and officers here familiar with the course of the attacks fully expect that before the fleet enters Magdalena Bay Admiral Evans will be in a position to give personal attention to the target firing which is to take place there."
