TE AROHA.

Great speculation has been going on at Te Aroha,.aß to which of the ladies the pork butcher would take back to Auckland with him, the odds being laid on Emma, of Eiver View Villa, while some fancied it would be fair Violet, of Ivy Lodge. What ia it that takes Peter down to the Temperance Boarding House so much lately? What was Joe waiting so anxiously for on Saturday evening last P Was it for the corner shop to close ? Bob says the reason he took Minnie for a ride was because the doctor ordered it. The Presbyterian Sunday School, at the invitation of Mr J. A. Coohrane, held their annual picnic in the grounds of that gentleman on Friday last. Fred looked quite a masher with Carrie on Sunday evening last. When is the wedding, Fred ? Minnie had better take possession of Bob, of the Hot Springs Hotel, as there are two others of the fair sex on the look out for him— so he says. Who were the two young ladies that entered the fruit gardens while the proprietors were away ? What takes ginger-beer Jack up to the Co-operative so often ? Is the fair lady up there the attraction ? Bob has got his lamps or the young girl lately over from Manawam. It looks bad of those young ladies in St. Mark's choir to be laughing all the time the sermon is going on. Is it to make them look more attractive ? I notice Brooks is back at the News office at last, after six months' worrying at the manager. Well worked, old man ! King David does not travel so much with Emma of late. Too far to walk, eh ? Keesing says he will have to leave Te Aroha, as he can't stand seeing Harry going with the infant dressmaker.
