Pahiatua News.

[By our lieddent Reporter'],

Tbs Pahiatua Borough Council has voted £BO towards the cost of the town’s representation at the Exhibition.

A unique event will take place in the Olympic Theatre on the 16th inst. The Hamua natives will give a concert in aid of the new Catholic Church at Hamua. Hakas and poi dances will be given, and the affair should be a brilliant success.

Mr E. Smith is sparing no effort or expense to ensure the success of the conference of delegates to the Farmers’ Union to be held at Pahiatua on the 29th inst. Certainly the affair could not be in better bands. The conference opens atibe Anglican Church bunday School at 10 o’clock in the morning, and a grand smoke concert takes place in the Olympic Theatre at night. •* The King,” meaning, of course, the Premier, is to be invited, along with the Minister of Lands and Messrs Ross, Hall, Wood Hogg, Hornsby, Ms.H.R., and Messrs Bruce, and Buchanan, and as many others as suggest themselves to the far-seeing eye of the laird of Onslow Park. There is no doubt a great honor basbeen conferred on this place that it has been selected as the site for the conference, and it behoves the farmers at your end of the district to boom the affair for all it is worth. Over 50 new members have been enrolled by Mr Smith this year. On Thursday evening tbe local Band are making an appeal to tbe public for funds by means of a concert. An excellent programme bos been prepared, and tickets are selling well.
