HAWERA.

Dear Bee, September 6. There is a great deal of dancing here t* is winterfootball, fire brigade, and farewells, so many going away, some to England, some to Sydney, and some to other parts. Really these socials are becoming very j opular, and people are asked to sing till it becomes rather a tax. especially as there are only a limited number of singers; and at this time of the year, when sore throats and colds are so prevalent.
