Servicts of an attractive character will be held m the Wesleyan Church, Cameron street, to-morrow, m connection with the fourteenth anniversary of the Sunday school. Special singing has been arranged for the children, who will be assisted by a strong adult choir and orchestra. Rev. S. Lawry will conduct the services morning, afternoon, and evening. The church has been nicely decorated for the occasion by the ladies, and special galleries have been erected for the singers, who will number about one hundred and fifty. The annual report of the Titnaru Farmers' Co-operative is very satisfactory. The profit for the year is £7500. Of the receipts £2689 is from commissions, £1942 from stor age, and £5640 profits on merchandise. The directors propose to divide eight per cent on capital and seven per cent bonus on account safe*, and to place £2000 to the reserve fund. During the year the premises were enlarged, and the erection of another large grain store determined on. At the meeting to-day the chairman stated that the gross turnover had been £207,000. He spoke strongly against the high railway rates, and said the fanners m South Canterbury were only kept m the swim at all by the generous yield they get; but this being reduced by ruinous over cropping, they must get the rates reduced and farm better. Farmers needed a stringent adulteration law, especially for manures. A shareholder recommended the directors to consider whether they could not arrange to teke charge of the frozen meat business at the other end, making advances here from the British capital. The retiring directors were re-elected. This is the eleventh annual meeting held by the Association. The main school at Woodville has been closed for six weeks owing to influenza having reduced the attendance from 320 to to 158. The school will re-open again m January.
