NORFOLK ROAD.

| FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT | In my notes on our dairy factories, I am sorry that the 4,000,000 and odd pounds of milk was made to appear 4000, on account of a decimal point being inserted. Your readers, however, would no doubt understand what Avas meant.

The news of the Queen's illness caused a great stir in our little community, and when we heard of hor death, deep sorrow was expressed on all sides. Our school flag was at once run up to half- mast, and has remained at that ever since, except that on Monday it was hoisted to the head of the mast from noon till sunset, on account of the proclamation of oar uew King, Edward VII. hong live the King, and may he be as successful in avoiding complications with foreign Powers as his late revered mother has been. I have heard the opinion rather freely expressed that certain Powers who might otherwise have entered into war with Britain have hitherto refrained from doing so owing to ihe sincere respect they have borne for the Queen, and that now this restraining influence is removed we may at any time be plunged into • dreadful struggle for the existence of our Empire. I, for one, trust this is not so, and that the King will command the same resptct and exercise the same wonderful tact that the late Queen commanded and exercised.

The weather is, and has been for % week, quite wintry. Several persons sxm likely to lose valuable crops of hay unlesa we get good weather very soon. A number of men are here to paint the railway bridge, but can do nothing oil account of the wet. The wind also hag played havoc with our school flag, which will shortly have to be laid up for extensive repairs.

It is with deep regret that I record the death of Mr John htephens, who passed away at his late residence, Durham Road, last Friday. His funeral on Sunday vraa largely attended. 1 desire to oiler the widow and her children my heartfelt sympathy with them in their sad bereavement.

TROUBLESOME To THE ARMY.

During the civil war. as well as in oar late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one of the most troublesome diseases the army had to contend with. In many instances it became chronic, and ihe old soldiery still suffer for it. Mr David Taylor, of Wind Ridge, Greene Co . Pa., is one of these. He uses Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Iloaiedy, and sayt he never found anything that would give him such quick relief. It is for sale by the New Plymouth Co-operative Society.*
