PANMURE

There was a. very enjoyable evening spent at the Donovan dance on Wednesday, 29th June. , Little 'Bumple' made himself exceedingly agreeable, and was very successful in attending to the requirements of the ladies. What 'price, 'Kil,' drinking coffee with a teaspoon ? Joe and Fred were rather "bashful ; perhaps tbey oould not stand the glances of the fair ones. ' Kil.' left his trail behind when carting firewood recently. Was he distributing firing gratis to the poor ? There must have been great pressure brought to bear upon Mat and Jim. What were you a doiug of ? Our genial Joe has a pigeon match and a billiard tournament well in hand. Keep it going, old boy ; they want a stir. The cook near the water is all life and animation. What does it mean ? Beware of the pierce. How is it we never see Earn W. in the township, but seldom. Can the little dressmaker account for it ? There has been great lamenting among a few of the young ladies since Jim got married. His goods will be well Chapmaned now. What brought Dick and Maggie to town on Saturday week last ? Was it to see tbe circus or have their photos taken ? They should not speak so loud on their way home at night. Lily will feel lonely when Tommy goes. Look up girls, stacks uf fun in store, there is to be a new hall built — then for evening parties and what not. Alf says the dance at Onehunga last week was very tame— could that man of machinery been there - eh, Alf ? What induces that tall youngbaker on the Panmure Road after dark ? can it be to see the dairy or Nell ? Look out for Bob (bow wow). Has the iedx-haired young lady anything to do with attracting that One hunga Kills-all to our dances ? Who were the young men that were shook on one of the fair membeis of Amy Vaughan's troop ? You must come again, Amy. Tan yard Jack says he must look a- field for fresh pastures. Barry says h6 must not get too olose to him. The widow in her distress has been able to find out who are her friends. Mrs H. seems rather inclined to assume a ' Don't know you ' sort of air, and is very very thick with Mrs M. Bide a wee, Kitty— you will find out who are your real friends. The genuine boys are making up their minds to make it pretty hot for one or two of the dirty scandal- mongers. Tom has proved himself to be a thorough brick and friend in need, as also has Mr and Mrs T. and others. That Cat who has a good word for no one and who goes from house to house talking scandal about her neighbours (not even allowing June to escape) will have a hot time of it presently. Change your tone, Mr July, and don't make ungentlemanly or uncharitable remarks about (people. Turn round and let the meaner skunks see you are a man. More anon if necessary.
