The directors of the South Hopeful Company have let a contract for an additional 50ft. of driving to Mr N Bollerslev, under the same terms as the previous contract.'

Another of the pioneers of the Inangahua lias fallen by the way. Mr John Wallace, for many years storekeeper at Black's Point in connection with the firm of Ramsay and Edwards, died yesterday. Mr Wallace had been ailing for some time from disease of the heart, but the symptoms of the. malady were not such as to. canse alarm either to himself or his friends. About a month ago, however, the disease took a more serious turn, and the sufferer was -shortlyjafter confined to bed, and from that time to the hour of his death he was under constant attention. Deceased was about 52 years of age. Mr Wallace was one of the. founders of the Heather Bell Lodge, Reefton, and took an active part in many other 'public movements in lieefton. It is, however, in connection with his business at Black's Point that: Mr Wallace was most widely known, aud the respect in which he was held will no doubt be amply testified on Sunday "next, when the funeral takes place. • „ . The Warden's. Court will sit on Monday next, but there is no business of importance down for hearing.

Sheath, Secretary of the Exhibition Committee, and will be glad to affard intending exhibitors in.this district every information on the subject.
