Mr J. D. Fraser, baker and confection, of Palmerston, m this issue informs »be public of some of tt»e capabilities of his establishment. As a caterer for various public gatheriogs Mr Fraser has recently been well to the fore, and we bare no doubt he will obtain a continuance of support. We commend his advertisement to the oerusalof the pabhc. Mr Thomas Wray has withdrawn from his candidature for the vacant seat m the Palmerston Borough Council A " Champion Consultation," on a somewhat novel basis, is advertised m another column. No nominations were received for the existing vacancy m the Feilding Borough Council. The full account of the floating of the Triumph displays an amount of ha"d work, good management, and enterprise which show that Messrs Fraser & Tinue well deserve the £20.000 they are certain to make out of (he transaction. A new arrival from the H^me Country, now a resident at Foxton, was ?o pleased wi'h Leonata's performances at the Marton-Rangitikei races that he made a most handsome offer to Mr Murray, the owner of the horse, for its purchase.

The finder will be rewarded on leaving it at Mr W Py vis's blacksmith's shcp, Kangitikei line. We must congratulate our contemporary the Manawatu Daily Times, on the excellent sheet aJmauac issued, from its office this year. The sheet contains a lot of most useful information, compiled with gieafc rare, and has been largely availed of by advertisers, thus enabling the printer to. turn out an almanac equa to anything published even m Wellington. Our contemporary is being conducted with enterprise, and it is satisfactory to see the Palmerston people appreciate this fact. They evidently know where to cpend their money to the best advantage, — Herald, The Public Works employes are engaged m actively altering the Square, which is rapidly assuming a different appearance. A good deal has been said lately of some "dark horse" likely to be brought out from Palme-ston for the Manawatu seat. We may fay we know nothing so far of any probab'e candidate from this end of the constituency. For the sake of our local contempor ■ ary we regret that we are too busy attending to matters of public interest to reply to his many misstatements. For the next month or two we expecc to have but Httle time to spare for this purpose, and by the end of that time the shadows may have changed into the coming event. While m the Ssndon district yester* day we were informed by a farmer that the whole of his wheat and oat crops have been destroyed by the continued nips, Most of the crops are damaged more or less ; a spell of fine weather is now urgently neeJed to avert a tota failure of the harvest.— Advocate.

Loudon, left for Wellington by train last evening to interview Mr Luckie respecting an offer from the Insurance department to take up £2,000 worth of loan debentures,— Advocate. Archbishop Goold has laid the foundation stone of a new Koman Catholic church m West Melbourne, which is to cost, when completed, from £25,000, to £40,000.

The demand for the great American remedy, Eop Bitters, m this part of the world has become so great that the Hop Bitters Co., whose headquarters are at Rochester, New York, U.S.A., have been compelled to open a laboratory m Melbourne. It will be m charge of Mr M. H. Van Berg, a gentleman of several years experience with this company and the trade may be assu-ed of receiving goods equal to the parent house, and the roost courteous treatment. The H. B Co., have establishments at Lon on, Paris, Antwerp, Belgium, Breda, Holland and Toronto, and their bitters are probably the best known medicine m the world.— Aj>vt.
