DISTRICT NEWS
IHURAUA. Our Chen Correspondent. The light ruins which havo fallen throughout the district havo been of immense benefit to farmers on the higher levels, whoso pastures were beginning to assume a parched appearance. The cocksfoot harvest in this district is poorer this season than it has been for years past. The local fruit yield promises to he good; but owing to. the exceedingly wet spring-, many orchards are affected with a little more than the usual number of pests. Generally speaking, local farmers are well satisfied, with the compact arrived at between the Wellington Farmers' Moat Company and the men in its employ. The public school opens after the usual summer vacation of February 3rd. The attendance, which for the past three years has been gradually diminishing in numbers, is now very small, but we hope that when the local sub-divisions of land are offered for public application, at least a dozen names will be added to the roll. Local residents, who journeyed to Eketahvuia to witness the performance by Wirths' Circus on Thursday evening, state that the experience of having a shower-bath during tiie whole performance "was novel. Tt seems quite apparent that the controlling local lxxly doe.s not intend to expend nnv money towards having the unfinished parts of the roads metalled this year.
