GLADSTONE.
(From Our Own Correspondent). GLADSTONE, Thursday. The weather during the last two weeks has been very hot. The ground is very hard, and the grass dried up. Rape and turnip crops are suffering severely, and rain is badly needed or the root crops will in all probability be a failure. Mr and Mrs R. Cooper and family left here last Wednesday on a holiday trip to Rotorua, Auckland, Gisborne, and Wanganui. They purpose being away for three weeks. The tangi over the late Kingi Ngatuere has been on a large scale, and a great number of Maoris and also Europeans have visited pah ■during the tangi. The late chief is to be buried, to-day, at Waiohine Bridge, where his mother and father are also buried. A picnic in connection with the Te Wharau branch of the Farmers' Union was held' at Mr McGregor's Taipo Station, yesterday, and was largely attended.
