THE HOLIDAY SE ISON has commenced, and already every available room is taken for the Christmas holidays. Mrs Wei ford, of Marton, arrived last week to spend Christmas with her parents. Dr. and Mrs Scott and other families are looking forward to some happy reunions within the next few weeks. A few elastic houses would be of good service during the summer months, hs it seems impossib'e for all to obtain accommodation who wish to come to Picton fora change.
