WAITARA.

PEhM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT. June 22.—Tho sympathies of Waitara will bo stirred to their deepicst on learning that the little daughter (Eva) of Mr. and Mrs. IV. Jenkins has succumbed'to an attack of diphtheria. She was taken ill a few days ago, but it was little thought that the Reaper was to gather this little hud. On inquiry this morning 1 burned that she had passed a satisfactory night, and this afternoon the news came that she luTd passed away quite suddenly. Eva was a winsome little lass, who would command the affection of all; and if, sympathy can in any. degree assuage the grief of tho bereavement to Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins and family they can f3ll assured that it is heartfelt from .Waitara and district. At a meeting of the committee of the Municipal Brass Band a suh-com-mittee was appointed to carry out the arrangements for holding thb first indoor concert. By one of the rules of the band three indoor and nine outdoor concerts have to- ho given each year. The arrangements for the concert now being made will servo the double purpose of beginning the carrying out -of the rule and of providing funds for the band. The other two indoor concerts may or may not have this latter object. It has been suggested that one or two promenade concerts would ho appreciated. As the band is a good ono it will no doubt receive tho financial support it merits. An inducement is offered to the public to become annual subscribers by providing them with tickets which will pass thorn to any of the concerts that are arranged during tho season.

Ladies of Waitara are arranging a series of snowball afternoons. The idea is for a lady to invito her friends to afternoon tea and spend an hour or two in knitting' for tho troops. Ono of thoso present will invito another set for the following week, and so on, so that it is hoped that all tile Waitara ladies will eventually have taken their turn as hostesses. Mrs. Campbell started last week and sent 10s to the Patriotic Committee, contributed by those present, which was received with thanks.
