CARTERTON NOTES.

I From Our Own Correspondent!. Tuesday. The holidays passed off yery quietly in Carterton, the town being practically deserted on New Year's Day, most of the residents having gone to the Cale. douian Sports at Masterton, the .Races at Tauliercnikau, orpicnics at the numerous picturesque spots in the outlaying districts. The only local gatherings were picnics in connection with St, , Mark's Sunday School on tho Show Grounds, and the Salvation Army Battering in Mr Applin's paddock. The shop keepers found the volume of trade this Christmas equal to last year, ' although there was not so much ready money in circulation, and the toy trade was.muck neglected. The cheap trains take a great number of settlers to the larger centres, where they have a greater variety of choice in buying. Mr T. P. Firman, local Station Master, has gone on a well-earned holiday of five weeks. Mr Day is in temporary change of the station. The heat registered on New Year'tM-, Day at Mr Braithwaite's Station was ninety-four degrees in the'' shade, and fell at night time to forty, six. 3
