THE PELORUS GUARDIAN, AND MINER'S ADVOCATE. FRIDAY, April sth., 1901.

Ourselves.— ln order to allow our staff to fully enjoy the Easter holidays, “ The Guardian” will not be published on Tuesday next. Church Services. The Rev. H. W. Howell will (d.v.) conduct special Easter Services at St. Peter’s, Havelock, to-day (Good Friday), at 11 a.m.; and on Sunday (Easter Day) at St. Peter’s, Havelock, xx a.m., and 7 p.m. (with Holy Communion); and at St. Paul’s, Canvastown, 2 30 p.m.— The Rev.

School Holidays.— The Havelock School closed for the Easter vacation yesterday, and will re-open on Wednesday morning. Hibernian Band. —With commendable consideration, this Band has kindly arranged to give an open-air selection of sacred music in Havelock on Sunday evening, at the close of the Church Services. The following programme will be rendered : —Slow march, “Victory;” selection, “Sacred Gems;’’ fantasia, “ Royal Festival; ” selection, “Sabbath Chimes; " march, “ The Lord’s Day; ’’ selection, “ Vital Spark ; ” “ God Save the King." School Committees.—A notification concerning the annual election of School Committees, throughout Marlborough, appears in another column. Suggestion.— Mr John Duncan, Chairman of the Pelorus Road Board, in the course of an annual vacation, has recently visited the Hanmer Springs Sanatorium, and his recognition of the high thermal properties of the waters has actuated his proposing to the Government the advisability of granting a subsidy to inaugurate a bi-weekly coach service, whereby the residents of Marlborough and tourists from the North Island might, with facility, obtain the natural advantages offered for health and recreation. Mr Duncan is unusually enthusiastic in praise of the Sanatorium and the properties of the waters, and we understand that a confrere representing a Southern daily, who was recouping at the springs during Mr Duncan’s visit, was so distinctly struck with the capabilities of Hanmer that some pungent articles may be expected to appear in favour of the Sanatorium as a health resort and the imperative necessity of extending northwards the line of railway from Culverden. Mr Duncan, in his enthusiastic recognition of the necessity of making approach to the Hamner Springs a matter of importance, has addressed the Hon. C. H, Mills on the subject. Organs.— Those in search of a really good American organ should certainly communicate with Mr W. F. Shortt, auctioneer, Wellington, who has just landed twelve of these first-class instrument. Each organ is fitted with eight stops and two knee swells, and for sweetness of tone, or extra power when required, they cannot be surpassed, Owing to scarceness of storage room, Mr Shortt has decided to sell them at/xo each, and anyone requiring a really-first class instrument, ridiciously cheap, would do well to secure one of these; correspondence is invited.— Advt. A large land proprietor in Poverty Bay states that he has found that the only way to successfully cope with the Canadian thistle is to kee*p cutting it as fast as it appears above the ground. A rather cool request has been made to the South Canterbury Education Board. A parent claims free education for his children in the literal sense of the word, and refuses to supply them with school books or pay for those supplied by the teacher. The knotty problem has been referred to the Board’s solicitor. During the past year the Geraldine Road Board has spent £iij 8s 4d in the purchase of poisoned grain and birds' heads and eggs. Now the Premier has stated his intention of starting a State coal mine, the residents of Seddonville are (says the Westport News) confidently looking forward for the Cardiff getting a start. The Government owns the mine, and all the necessary machinery is there. A Prominent Chicago Woman Speaks.— Professor Roxa Tyler, of Chicago, Vice-Pres-ident Illinois Woman’s Alliance, in speaking of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says : " I suffered with a severe cold this winter which threatened to run into pneumonia. I tried different remedies but I seemed to grow worse and the medicine upset my stomach. A friend advised me to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and I found it was pleasant to take and it relieved me at once. lam now entirely recovered, saved a doctor's bill, time and suffering, and I never will be without this medicicine again.” For sale by Brownlee & Co., Ltd, You can depend on ridding your children of worms with Wade’s Worm Figs, the wonderful Worm Worriers 1 /-.

Wedding.— A pretty and homelike wedding took place at the residence of Mr Evan Jones, Bluff Farm, Kaituna, on Wednesday last, when, in the presence of a large number of guests, the son of the host and hostess, Mr Charles Evan Jones, was united by the Rev. H. W. Howell to Miss Harriet Mary Wells, second daughter of Mr David Wells, of Woodlands, Pelorus. The entrancing bride, who was given away by her father, was attired in a bridal costume of cream lustre, trimmed with satin, lace, and chiffon, the bodice having a tucked yoke with necklet of frilled silver bespangled chiffon and espalier pleated, and on the skirt waterfalls of cream lace. The bride wore a veil, a coronet of orange blossoms, and a diamond ring and gold brooch, the presents of the bridegroom ; she was accompanied by Miss Emily Wells, her sister, Miss Mattie Jones, sister of the bridegroom, and the Misses Annie and Cissy Wells, her nieces, the former being costumed in subdued cream cashmere with white satin yoke and lace trimmings, cuirasse front and embattlemented necklet, buckles of silver confining the sides of the. corsage and necklet; sprays of lily-of-the-valley being inserted in the coiffure. The nieces of the bride were attired in Empire dresses of hailstorm muslin with frillings of lace, Gainsborough hats with ostrich tips, and each carried a basket of blooms. Mr Arthur Wratt acted as groomsman. At the conclusion of the ceremony the guests were entertained sumptuously by the parents of the bridegroom, the health and felicity of the twain being proposed by the uncle of the bride, Mr Dan. Wells, of Four Fathom Bay, Pelorus Sound. The display of presents expressed the esteem in which the happy couple are held, and were distinctly of a valuable and useful nature. During the afternoon sports were held amongst the guests, the enjoyment of the day being continued with dancing and music until “ all hours." The bride and bridegroom left for their new home on the Terrace, Havelock, amidst the best of wishes for their future prosperity and well being. Our Contingents.— Trooper P. C. Best (Nelson), of the Rough Riders, has -died of enteric at Potchefstroom.—The Premier has received a cable message from the Officer Commanding the New Zealand Regiment at Coatrielspruit stating that Captain Jackson and 25 of his squadron, Captains Abbott and Tuckey, Lieutenants Simpson, Batger, and ten men, all of the Fifth Contingent, are desirous of continuing on service with the New Zealand forces in South Africa. —General Lord Kitchener, in a cablegram to his Excellency the Governor (dated Pretoria, 31st March) states that the Second and Third New Zealand Contingents wfere leaving South Africa the next day.—Lieut,Colonel Francis, who went to South Africa with the Fifth New Zealand Contingent, and was subsequently invalided to England, and then returned to New Zealand, died at his residence, Christchurch, on Saturday night. —Captain Crawshaw, of the New Zealand Mounted Infantry, who was wounded in the engagement at Reitfontein at the end of November last, has been discharged from hospital and resumed duty.—Sergeant H. Nule, of the Rough Riders, has died at Capetown from enteric. Generous.— lt was reported by Mr Storey, at the meeting of the Road Board, on Tuesday last, that, in the event of the Road Engineer acquiescing to having piles driven for river-bank protective purposes, at North Bank, Wairau, Mr C. Sutton would allow the use of his engine for motive power, the Board paying the driver's wages during the period the engine was in use. Loan. —Full particulars of a loan required by the Government appear in another column. The Mother’s Favourite.—Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the mother's favourite. It is pleasant and safe for children to take and always cures. It is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough, and it is the best medicine made for these diseases. There is not the least danger in giving it to children for it contains no opium or other injurious drug and it may be given as confidently to a habeas to an adult. For sale by Brownlee & Co., Ltd.

Beat Out of an Increase of His Pension. —A Mexican war veteran and prominent editor writes ; " Seeing the advertisement of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, I reminded that as a soldier in Mexico in ’47 and ’4B I contracted Mexican diarrhoea and this remedy has kept me from getting an increase in my pension for on every renewal a dose of it restores me.” It is unequalled as a quick cure for diarrhoea and is pleasant and safe to take.
