Bad Roads.

[Per Pross Association] v Wanganui, This day.

Settlers in Rnotihi aro in sore straits owing to tho awful condition of the road from Pipiriki to that township. The distance is 17 miles, and freights have gone up to £lO per ton, and even at that figure it is difficult to procure carriage. The coaches have ceased running and the township is practically isolated, the road being a sea of mud, in which several horses have been smothered.

Friend, when a cold invades the nose, And damp the daily hanky grows, When racking coughs distract the breast, And rob you of your nightly rest. And shooting pains in chest and joint To pulmonary troubles point— What can once more good health ensure Why, simply Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. 83
