WAIANIWA.
Since last I wrote we have experienced real summer weather, the last three weeks being the longest spell of dry weather we have had for a long time, and if it continues crops will suffer and the farmers will be wishing for rain. The sunshine has made the face of nature bright. The crops are looking well, and grass is very good. Most of the farmers have got their turnips in, and are now relieving the sheep of their fleeces—a great boon to them'. We had a visit of the Black Family of musicians on the 25th ult., and as they are well known throughout Southland, it is needless to say much about them, except that they had a very good audience. The Education Board have at last settled the great Waianiwa school question, and have decided to remove the building about a mile nearer the township. I think it should have been in the township, as there can be no doubt it is the proper place for the school. I cannot say tne place is going ahead, as I see W. T. Murray & Co. are busily engaged in pulling down the dairy factory. Its removal is a great loss to us.
