The weather of late has been against the fruitgrowers who have not been able to get their spraying and ploughing finished. Latest settlers to get new cars have been Mr H. Neal, who has gone in for a Morris "lain" 6 sedan and Mr Bert Gubb a Chevrolet 6 sedan. The above cars were supplied by Mr J-.~Thornton ■ of Warkwonh, per the agency of' Mr H. Holliday. Mr Reg. Shephflid purchased a twelve months old Chevrolet tourer from the same iirm. Mr Leu., Underwood took over the Grey tourer which Mr Neaie had previous to purchasing his vow Morris. ' PERSONAL Mr J.
