(From Our Own Correspondent.) "(The exodus of settlers from this district still continues, and has assumed alarming proportions during trie past winter, no less than fifteen Having emigrated to pastures new. We wish idem all sorts of good luck, but at the same time one cannot help thinking that this state of .unrest throughout the country must sooner or later prove a serious menace to the dairy industry and the country generally. _ - On J uly 28th a large number of setriqvs from all over the district assembled in the local schoolroom for the

purpose of saying farewell to Mi’, and Mrs. Jones and family, who are leaving hero to take up -their abode at Mahoo. Mr. P. H. Wellington occupied the chafir. During, the evening songs were given by Messrs. L. Tichbpu, Rogers, and Brownhill, Miss Xeilson, and Miss Knox. Musical items were also given by Mr. Brownhill, Miss G. Booker, and Mr. and the Misses Rogers, Millie Colson gave a recitation. All the items .were much enjoyed. Speeches were delivered by Messrs. Gappy, Jago, Friday, Johnston, and Wheller, all of whom spoke in most glowing terms of the many good qualities and pleasing characteristics possessed by the departing guests. Mr. Whcller, at the conclusion of, his speech, on behalf or the settlers and friends, presented Mr. and Mrs. Jones with a solid silver tea and coffee service, as a mark of esteem. Mr. Jones suitably responded, and in his remarks referred to the rapid strides the district had made during the twenty years he had been living hero. At tlie conclusion of the concert the ladies supplied a bountiful and delicious supper, which, heedless to say, was done ample justice to. Afterwards those who love the giddy mazes of the light fantastic indulged in that pastime until the woe ;r.na’ hours. Messrs, Rogers and Brownhill kindly supplied the music, which was pronounced perfect. Mr. A.

Lineham acted as M.C. Our local creamery re-opened this morning with a fair supply of milk, nine suppliers passing the scales. Our popular manager, Mr, P. Stanton, looks very fit this season. Therefore, I would like to sound a warning note to all heroes of tho milky way that ho is a keen flavour finder, and, further, in view of our manager’s exceptional ktnoss, I would specially remind those who are in tho habit of challenging tho accuracies of the tost sample amt tho right measurement of tho Skim Dick, that tho adoption of a too aggressive policy would not be advisable. Stock in_ this district are looking exceptionally well this season.
