WAIHI.

Time Me and J S were tying fatal knot...J H, of P, quite broken up since someone tied the fatal knot. Never mind, as good fish in the sea, etc... What takes J C to Paeroa ? Is it to see the little waitress at the R ? Hurry up ; tin cans getting rusty... The ab-sent-minded scribe did a wriggle at the eleventh hour at a recent hospital committee meeting, but the King's mandate saved the situation...The boys are cut up on account of the absence of B G and companion " otf the block." Its " Arrah come back," etc.F D keeps on smiling as of yore. ..H B says double harness is decidedly the best for easy going.. .N F says R II has not a hope while he is about.. .R Cis keeping very quiet lately. The 0 M imagines he must have a wee card up his sleeve waiting his , opportunity... The parson's funny songs sets one's sides aching with laughter ; he is certainly a great draw at local entertainments.

...The Waihi Hospital Ball, to be held on sth September, promises to eclipse anything of the kind ever held in this district, thanks to the ladies. ..P M looks rather too burefaced without the usual appendage above his mouth. Let them grow again, P, the Book's departed hence. ... Moonlight concerts (weather permitting) are promised shortly by Bandmaster Mellor, then there'll be some happy meetings... " Our hands have met but not our hearts/ so sings G H since she gave M the go-by... M His greatly missed from the choir, the boys singing flat in consequence. ..T C is a born elocutionist, his stirring recital at the recent L and D Society's gathering moving the audience considerably — nearer the door.

...The big Druni(in) can be heard to greater advantage since being elevated to the head of the Waihi Miners' Union. The 0 M hopes he will never be. beat to burstingpoint...The local Unionists should " ward " against open manifestations of resentment to private contractors while passing along the street, as it will do their cause no good... The three fair maidens of the Rosemont-street boarding house are evidently bound to win — success. '"' You can wear it for a shilling, the badge so very killing." Thus are the fair ones trilling off the L.H.C....N.5.W. ex-Premier Reid's Yes-No mantle appears to have fallen upon the shoulders of C S. Ho aays in one breath he wants Waihi to have a hospital, and in the next breath he is advocating a separate hospital district for Ohinemuri, which means blow the Waihi hospital.. .Another successful

social was held in Tanner's hall on 9th.. .H K was doing a big mash with W (J...J M ana B H looked loving on the stage ; but M H shouldn't play gooseberry. ... J M was trying to make it up with a H. '100 late...W T seems brokenhearled since C C left... What takes J Cto Black Hill so often V Is it to see M M /...B H attentive to a charming widow. ..What brings D B for a pie and coffee so often V Is it to see E & L..J P and W T soon to tie the knot.
