A gentleman who borrowed a chronograph watch from a business man in Woodville about twelve months ago is asked to return it and so save further trouble. Several settlers waited on the Pahiatua County Council last Saturday, and requested that a portion of a road be metalled to enable them to get their milk to a factory One inquisitve Cou'-cillor wanted information, saying they had already gone to the expense of providing a road to the factory and then the true state of affairs was revealed. It appears these settlers intended for the future to support a cheese factory, lately started in the district, at which they were promised ft penny a lb. more for their butter fat. Several Councillors advised the settlers to arrange amongst themselves for the metalling <of the road. At a meeting pi Wairarapa farmers last week statements were made from which it was ascertained that the site of the co-operative freezing works was not yet fixed. The Wairarapa people are striving to have the works in their district. This led Mr Cooper to remark that they could not expect support from the West < oast if the works were in the Wairarapa.— Mr Bicknell pointed out the advantages of having the works in the Wairarapa. —Mr Perry thought the question of settling a site was prema turetiwe first thing was to get the eomjpany floated. —Mr Faulkner said that there were four reliable West Coast men on the provisional A'wvfforate. —Some further discussion took place iff. reference to a site, but the general feeling jfchat Wellington was the right place for the company to be a success.

A young man, named Percy Devery, about 19 years of age, was riding ahorse at Pougaroa on Sunday when the horse fell and rolled over him. He received injuries from which he died at midnight. A man named Richard White pleaded guilty at Auckland. When he was arrested two cart-loads of miscellaneous articles, valued at £2OO, were found in his rooms, mostly stolen Jrom buildings in course of erection. -He was committed for sentence.

A Sydney authority on the meat trade says the well-known New York meat trust has been trying for some time to buy up all the Argentine concerns but nothing is known of any attempt on the part of the combine to extend operations to Australia.

The horse show at Olympia was an unprecedented success. £4OOO was expended on luxurious decorations. Judge Moore, of America, is present with 48 horses, and Winans and Vanderbilt have also a large number at the showThere are crowds of American visitors.

Sixty foreign and 100 British officers are in the jumping competitions. At Auckland on Monday, Rees

Nicholson, of Whitianga, was fined £SO for receiving and detaining a telegram and two letters addressed to Morie George, care of Nicholson. Defendant opened them and left them lying about making no attempt to return them to the post office, though he knew there was no other Nicholson in the district. Charles Riches, aged 27, employed at Sylvia Park, Otahuhu (Auckland), was accidentally killed on Sunday. Ho laid a gun down on a dog-kennel while he released the dog. He then pulled the gun towards him, the trigger became caught, and Riches received the full charge in the stomach, death ensuing before the doctor arrived. The management of Dr. Boranoff’s tour regret that as he must positively appear in the Opera House, Wellington, it is absolutely necessary to cancel his appearance here, which was to have ta en place on Saturday night next. The management very much regret to disappoint the Woodville public on this occasion, but they promise that if at all possible Dr Boranoff will appear here at an early date.

There would have been a second charge in the Court on Monday between our distinguished citizens, arising out of an attempt to thresh matters out. afresh while the Justices were in their room, if a son of Anak in blue had not bundled one of the little men most unceremoniously across the room to the Press table. He was so pleased with his promotion that he was quite well behaved after it.

In reference to the alleged starvation case, mentioned at Taihape at the Timber Commission, the result of enquiries show the wife and child had certainly had a hard time, The husband was not connected with the timber industry. He is a man who won’t work w'hen he had every chance. The family live on Ohura Road, ten miles from Raetihi, where the husband brought them from another district. While in distressed circumstances, he has received money and help in other ways, but he is an anti-worker. There is a resentment felt at Taihape and at Raetihi at the libel on the district through sensational press headings. The case is entirely an isolated one. Last night’s Standard contained the following :—Notwithstanding the fact that the bridge will not be officially opened until Wednesday, and that the Gorge road in places is in a deplorable condition, two mobs of sheep —2OO from the Pohangina district and COO from Palmerston —and two mobs of 70 and 80 large cattle from Woodville side have managed to navigate their way through. They must have run considerable risk in negotiating the big slip, and when risks such as this are taken it speaks volumes for the popularity of tlie Gorge", as the connecting link between the East and West Coast.

Mr G. H. Lloyd, who has been Government Valuer in this district for the past five years, and seven and a half years with the Department, is the latest victim of the Government retrenchment policy. His services will bo dispensed with as from the 31st August next, and the Valuer-General in giving the unpleasant news to Mr Lloyd, said that whilst Mr Lloyd had been employed on the staff of the Department his work had been entirely satisfactory. We are pleased to know that Mr Lloyd has decided on starting private practise. His personal knowledge of nearly the whole of the Hawke’s Bay Province and fully half of the Wellington province should be of great value to him. Mrs Cromer, Percy-street, Geelong, writes “ Acting on the advice of a friend of mine, I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy fo give my little girl, who was suffering with a very bad attack of Croup. X am .pleased to say that after a few doses ifelief was obtained, and before the bottle was finished my little girl was able to go to school again. I will always recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy to njy friends as being the best I have ever used,'' For .sale everywhere. Considerable curiosity was felt on Monday in the Courthouse as to the exact meaning of the remarks of the Chairman of the Bench when he said it hoped that Messrs Paterson and Smith would “ settle their differences once and for all, as it was very awkward to be continually having rows on the street.” This reminds us of the story of an English County Court Judge who said to a couple of disputants, “ But th s matter is not one that ought tp poqic fietpre the court; it would be much better fpr you to settle it outside, and I wifi hold it over to give you a chance of seeing if you cannot do so.” The men thanked His Honor, and said they would see if they epuld manage it. In half an hour they came back into court, very much the worse for wear and £eij.r, one almost out of action, and informed His Honor that they had taken his advice cud sc’tlccl the matter in the bad, yard of tha Court, and as Bill Jones was the j better map J;p was to have the case.

Two Maoris died rather unexpectedly at Tahoraitc Pa on Monday. A number of townspeople wont through the Gorge to-day to witness the ceremony of opening the Lower Gorge bridge. Amongst the number were the Mayor and several councillors. Mr Motley has already disposed of his business at Taumaranui at a good profit to himself. Until something turns up it is Mr Motley’s intention to live privately in Taumaranui. Mr A. G. Riches, of Taumaranui, is on a visit to Woodville. In conversation with an Examiner reporter Mr Riches said he was certain that town and district had a great future. Rev. Bates telegraphed to-day;— Westerly moderate to strong winds; cool, changeable weather. Glass little movement. Probably very cold night. This evening Sir Joseph Ward will be presented with a testimonial signed by 6000 citizens in endorsement of the Government’s action in offering a Dreadnought to the British Navy. A young man, said to be a nephew of the late Lord Overton, got 12 months hard at Auckland yesterday for issuing a valueless cheque for £lO. He had been living at the rate of £25 a week as long as his money lasted. He is only 24 years of age. We are glad to hear that there are accounts of decided improvement in the health of Mr Galbraith, who went to Auckland some time ago for treatment. We are pleased to be able to look forward to seeing him back in Woodville by and bye in full strength and vigour again. The time the services will be held by the Salvation Army next Sunday are advertised. On Tuesday evening Colonel Knight and Staff-Capt. Orames will conduct a musical meeting and a coffee supper.

The Mayor, the County Chairman, four Borough Councillors and three ordinary, undistinguished mortals formed the meeting in the Borough Council Chambers re arranging a farewell to Mr Brosnahan last night. The mayor said he had been spoken and written to by a number of people who thought that Mr Brosnahan ought not to be allowed to leave Woodville without some mark of the people’s appreciation of his services, with which he quite agreed, and so he had called the meeting. After a little discussion, canvassers were appointed for the town and district, and they are to report by the 30th "inst., when another meeting is to be held to decide on the shape the farewell is to take.

Last night Mr and Mrs E. Pritchard, of ; Maharahara, fwere entertained at a social m Bell’s Hall. There was a very large attendance, and a number of Woodville people were present. Out of consideration for Mr Pritchard’s great kindness and obliging ways, the residents thought it necessary that they should recognise his work, and during the evening he was presented with a first-class three-quarter camera. Mr Leith made the presentation in a few well-chosen words, and Mr Pritchard feelingly replied, sincerely thanking his friends for their handsome gift, which was just the thing he wanted. Only for the coldness of the evening he would have made a longer speech. The evening passed pleasantly with social chat, music and dancing. Mr A. W. Hutching. acted as M.C. The dance music was supplied by Mrs Jack Nelson and Mr Gilbert, andextras by Mrs Jack McCormick and Miss Speedy. For Millinery and Dressmaking, C Saudford & Co. are to the front as usual. We have experienced au exceptional season for Millinery, having just turned out and trimmed a far greater number of hats than ever before. Mrs Kinnear is the only authorised and up-to-date Milliner in the district, and customers can rely upon getting all they require in the Show Room, and all the advantages of an experienced Milliner.

Our staff is fully equipped and we arc now ready to cope with the usual rush for dressmaking at this time of the year.
