RAGLAN.

During the past week the weather has been moist and warm, reminiscent of late October rather than early September, Grass is making a splendid start, and, with a continuance of mild weather, will soon be plentiful. Taking it altogether the winter has been so mild that we can only with difficulty realise that the much-dreaded season is over. I fancy our farmers would not very greatly regret another summer drought if they were assured of a similar compensatory sequel. Mr W. J. Smith is at present engaged in making the alterations and additions to the old creameay at Kanvoa, necessary to convert ii. into a butter factory for the Raglan Dairy Company (Ltd.) Mr L. B. Hill has been appointed secretary to the company.

It is intended to put a refrigerator in the Te Mata factory this season. This should largely enhance tho value of tho output, especially during the hot months of the year. It is said that the above company have had an offer of lOfd for the year, or Old for three years’ output. Mias Coffey, the Raglan Postmistress, who lias not been in very good health lately, has got a month’s leave, during which time Mrs Sullivan, of Kihikihi, takes temporary charge of the office.

The annual volunteer hall, held on the Hth inst. at Te Mata under tho auspices of the Raglan Mounted Rifles, was a great success. On the 9th inst. tho troop assembled at Raglan in order to undergo their annual inspection at the hands of Sergt-Major Coleman. Messrs AA'atkins’ sawmill is still idle pending the arrival of logs. Mr J. H. Fleming is removing his sawmill plant for re-erection at Kauroa.

Mr Sehieb has purchased Messrs Ayer’s and Chester’s farm situated at the Te Mata end of the Kauroa Valley for a satisfactory figure.—(Own Correspondent).

THE WINNER OP THE CUR. The man who wins in the contest is admired by his enthusiastic friends, lie has worked hard to attain his superior power and deserves their applause ; but he alone knows what suffering the effort has cost him. Many a winner or the race gives the credit of his success to Chamberlain’s Rain Halm. The ceaseless training which he undergoes brings stiffness and soreness of the muscles and often sprains and swellings. One application of this remedy gives immediate relief and for cuts and bruises it has no equal. It is the favourite liniment among prominent athletes. For sale by W. Dey (Hamilton), Thos. Wells (Cambridge), Geo. M. A. Abler (To Awamutu), Green and Colebrook (Ngaruawahia), L. de L Ward and Co. (Taumarunui), and T. H. Chapman (Kihikihi).

Most Politicians need a box To drown their ravings in. The Poet wants a few hard knocks. The “Dead-beat” wants some “tin.” The Pillman makes a bold display The public to allure. But the man who sneezes night and day Wants Woods’ Great Peppermint Cuke. 7 Should your watch or jewellery need repairing send it to H. H. Howden Hamilton. Waterburys repaired.
