Tlie handle had been shortened and the silver cup fitted on again, and the blade had been ground away til] it approaches in shape a bowje knife, with a double edge towards the point, making it a formidable dagger.

The "New Zealand Times"' special report of the meeting of the Colonial Executive of the Farmers' Union, held at Palmercton North on. Thursday last, contains the following paragraph:—" The action of the South Canterbury Provincial Executive in seeking permission to embroil the Union in ft labour dispute in the south was next reviewed. As the Colonial Conference, with but one dissentient, bad decided that the Union "should adopt a stiictly neutral attitude towards ajy disputes that may arise-beiweui sections of the community,' the executive had no power to go outside this pronouncement. It was pointed out that if the farmers and also other persons outside the Union in South Canterbury desired to take part in labour disputes they could register as an industrial union of employers under the Act of 1900, and obtain all the power they desired without involving the New Zealand Farmers* Union."

McKDOWN'S HOLDINGS. The block of buildings known as- McKcDwn's at- the corner of Stafford s-treet. aid lhe Arcade are practically completed; one tenant has moved in, and'other tenant* are preparing Ut do so. As the Arcade is the principal thoroughfare in Timarn, the progress of the building has been watched by many, and it was; a relief to all when scaffolding came down, and the pathways were ayain clear of obstruction. However, the iticoriveajenee *sufJei>ed was

a mere r.othjrg compared to the valuable addition lie building now is to tie business places of Timara. Tie foundations ■ne in concrete, of good depth, and neeesan' excavation has given good cellar and store space below tbc'lerel of tie footpath. The builditig is of brick, and the frontages aie on S1 afford street and the Arcade, both being very artistically finished. The corner shop is occupied by Mr Irwin, bootmaker, and he has iw-o -windows on the frontages which are neatly dressed •with his sew stock. The next .shop is for Begg i and Co.'s music warehouse, "with large window on Stafford street, and a return -which faces another large -window on the Arcade. This shop is very roomy, and should allow of ample opportunity for display. At the bacjt is a small and" handily arranged workshop. The first floor is reached by :< commodious stairway which springs from. Apposite a double-door entrance from the Arcade. The floor is to be occupied, we learn, bv Mr Maban. photographer, and is completely appointed for such a business. There are several waiting and <flher rooms, a very large and admirably lit studio, and a."well fitted up ""bath-room." The suite appears to be all that could be desired, is easy of access, and cosy in appearance. The lavatory accommodation, vcstilaiioi). etc.. of the "whole building is quite up-to-date. The architect for the block was Mr D. West, Messrs Werry and Hunt did the brickwork, Messrs Husband and Hollow the woodwork, and Mr .Tames Craigic. the painting and plumbing. The workmanship throughout is excellent.
