TOWN & COUNTRY.

The train arrangements for the Easter holidays are advertised this morning. The Marine Band will give a municipal loucerc on Tuesday evening next in Alexandra Square. , A special goods train wrw run up to Fairlie last evening, to take up timber for the Tengawai bridge and sheep trucks for various stations. An interesting fact mentioned by Mr Ji'iiai-- at the Mayor's picnic on Thujiday, was that the Timaru waterworks loan was the first Australasian municipal loan lloat'ed in London. Tlie Mediterranean fruit ily first di-covered at Xapier, has also been identified at Springlands, Marlborough. There are several srjecies of this fh, and the one that has become a colonist of New Zealand is- the* worst of the lot. Official notices regarding two r.ections of the "Harbour Board elections are advertised this morning, those ior Waimate ridings and the Mount Peel road "district. dominations for the one scat for Mount Peel close on April 3rd: for thiee seat* 'for Waimate district on April 4th. The pells, if required, will be taken on the 10th. At a meeting of the Christchurch branch of the Independent Political Labour League last night Messrs J. Thorn and J. A. MeCullough were appointed to represent the branch at the annual conference at Dun-c-lin, and they were instructed to urge the appointment'.of a colonial organiser to. establish branches in all the electorates before the next election. The candidature v of Messrs Thorn and Patcison for ' the Christchurch central ward at the next election, Mr Sullivan for the Sydenham v,ard, and Mr Faulkner for the St. Alban's ward i»ere approved. After a long, exhausting illness, when health is slow - about returning, Steams' • Wine is always found of great value. By . greatly stimulating the appetite it aids " riutrition- and restores strength. 'Pile well-known firm of Randrup Bnjs. may still be. found in the same place. Kit not with the-same.'machine';"::' Tliey are just now preparing to receive a large shipment, 1907 models, of Randrup Popular, Centaur, and Premier machine-. It would pay you to drop in for a chat. ... » There is nothing surprising in the notice "Hair cut while you wait," but Mr Dash, eoachbuilder, of Waimate, makes the start ling announcement "'Loose tyres made tfsjht- while you -wait." This boon to 'vehicle users is made possible by'the u*e of a cold tyre-setting machine of a make new to the"colony with which Mr Dash's, factory is now equipped. The work turned out is very satisfactory and permanent. ... A Tumour has been circulated to the . effect that Mrs R. SommerviHe. matron. Caim«more -House private hospital 'and convalescent home, was giving up her in--stitution, but we are informed that she has no intention whatever of doing so. On the other hand, she has just had extensive improvements completed so as to bring her hospital more up-to-date, and it will now compare very favourably with any establishment of a similar kind in larger towns. Mrs Sommerville has many friends in this district, and she is well* known for her genial disposition, and has gained a high reputation as a professional mirse. This community is fortunate in having such a well appointed and prosperous private 'hosjrital in its midst, and the public of South Canterbury owe her a debt of gratitude for her enterprise, and we trust that she will be ainply repaid by public patronage. ...
