INGLEWOOD.

FROM OUR OWN COItnESPONURNT. March 3.—The meeting which was held on Tuesday for the purpose of organising tho local unit of the Legion of Frontiersmen was fairly well attended, about 30 handing in their names. In the absence of tho Mayor Mr. Humphrey was voted to the chair. The objects of the movement were explained and after some discussion it was decided to hold a further meeting next Tuesday when more information would be available and some assistance would also be forthcoming from New Plymouth. Our bakers were a little "too previous” in raising the price of bread by Id per 21b loaf on Monday last. To-day it is reduced sd, making it 5Jd. ■The Mayor has been laid up since Tuesday suffering from a mild form of influenza Last week the Presbyterian Church lost three of its members.
