KAIMIRO.

FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT. Juno 23.—Last Friday night, the date of our Patriotic Social, tlio elements wore dead against us. Sleet, rain and half a gale prevented people from leaving their llresido. and only a very small gathering look place. That the commit tees efforts to raise funds for a most deserving object were highly appreciated was shown by several families sending their entrance foes along alterwarns.

Messrs. E. Goppcrth and F. Sollicker have returned From a holiday trip to the Rotnroa district, hut M.r. and Mrs. J. Hints are still enjoying their holiday in Auckland. .

.Sir. G. Swan and family arc leaving tlio district .shortly, and intend to settle near Manaia. ‘\Vo shall he sorry to lose them. Mr. Swan has proved himself a very energetic fanner, and has always been ready and willing to help along anything for tho benefit of tho district. * They have made friends of all, and their departure will cause general regret.' Mr. Howard Shoemark is taking over Mr. Swan’s farm. Being a Kairairo-ito, 1 wish him success. The Lcpper Road from here to Inglewood is in a deplorable condition. During the sdoll of dry weather lust fall the Moa Road Board had all the holes filled in with earth, and a very good fine-wcathor road was tho result, but during the last three weeks tlio road has become as soft as a pear, and varied arc the surprises that await the man who attempts to drive a vehicle over it.

Several motor-cars and some horsedrawn conveyances passed through here last Sunday on their way to Mt. Egmnot. No doubt tho visitors were rewarded with a cool and invigorating atmosphere, which is generally to ho found near Humphries Castle at this time of the year. ■,

On July 2 a plain and fancy dross ball will bo held at tho Kairniro Hall, and on July 15 it is intended to hold a. patriotic concert and dance. The Kaimiro Committee also tend# - their thanks for tho assistance given by tho Herald in Hoc advertisements for their last patriotic function. The New Zealand boys are giving a good account of themselves at tho front. Everyone ought to be proud of them. We cannot help sympathising with the relations and friends of those that have given their lives or have suffered untold agonies through wounds and some that are maimed for life, but there is one consolation, they have dono their duty faithfully. They have bravely fought for their King, the Empire, and onr freedom. Their deeds will live in history and will encourage others to do tho same. Weather: Cold, fog and rain. Wind N.W.
