(From Our Own Correjspondent.)

All the sheep farmers are busy dipping their sheep a,tn the Co-operative Sheep Dip. This dip is a big saving to the farmers. The cost cf dipping is out down to a very small rate per 100, and the tibeep are we]l dipped. Mr. Blundell, who io new in charge of the Nelson stock district, wired the other day ior particulars nnd dimensions of the Wiiaaga dip, which were promptly sent him. No doubt some of the farmers in the Nehon district are following in our footsteps, on the recommendation of Mr. Bfcftdell, .arid building a Sheep dip, on the lines of .ours. A very stormy mooting was held in tho Whanga Town. Hall on -'Monday ' evening last. Ma'Coschoad, tne chairman of trustees of the doctor's fund, lulled a mooting of the subscribers to. the fund and gave an outline of what had. taken place re the fund in the~N. l»st two years and suggested what should be do'no in future. Then he intimated that he was going to resign as trustee that evening, a statementuithat brought his co-trustees (Messrs. M'Oluggage and M'Cutchan) to their feet at once. They told the. chairman he had made an extraordinary statement without consulting them in the matter and -' by his action was treating them extremely discourteously. A strong pass- . age at arms took place and eventually a resolution was carried adjourning the meeting until Monday, the 29th inst., when -I. have jio doubt a large meeting will be the result. = I hope something ►w ilHfefaal) fr £f th?/4iE©Qiian-.i4^ greying out Dr. valintine's scheme of getting a registered nurse in Whanga. , A petition is being largely signed by the electors and ratepayers of Whanga asking Mr. M'Cutchaa to call a public meeting in the Whanga or Kohuratahi Hall t?> publicly discuss certain statements made by Messrs. Hine, Coxhead, Bacon and himself in- reference to the adjustment ol accounts that, took place between the' Stratford and Whanga , Councils. "This should be done in the - interests of the whole district, as there is considerable feeling among the different parties. 'One of M'Cluggage Bros' bullock teams-slipped over the side of the road in the Pohokura and rolled down the bank with three tons of stores on. No one, was hurt, ' and the waggon and Y^ goods were only slightly damaged. N The public works are going ahead splendidly in Whanga. , Mr. Jackson is kept -very busy with his staff laying.
