Rangitata Road District.

The annual meeting of ratepayers was held on Thursday May 2, at the Koad Board Office, Lismore. The Chairman presented a statement of accounts for the past year showing the re ceipts from all sources to have been £726 lls 4cl, and the expenditure, including a debit balance at March 31, 1894. of £160 3a 8d £624 18s 9d, which left the Board with a credit balance to commence the current year of £101 12a 7d. He congratulated the dis-1 trict on the aatiafaotory state of the finances, and stated that he believed this was the only Board in the county with a credit balance to commence the financial year. He was glad to say that there would now be a considerable Bum available each year from thirds, for expenditure on road works, this fund having been hitherto expended in pro viding a much needed water supply for the peTpetual lease settlers, without which settlement would have been impossible. The Chairman pointed out that the County Council were now enlarging and extending the mains in the district with thirds, and no farther expenditure on water supply would be required for years, to that the thirds as they accured would be available for ex penditure on roads, the Land Board having accepted proposals amounting to over £4500 for road work. On the question of dividing the district into wards, the Chairman stated that the ratepayers had two years ago in structed the Board to take steps for dividing the district. This the Board had done at considerable trouble and expenee, but had been unable to carry out the scheme on ac count of the opposition from large proprietors in the upper portion oi the district. Another attempt had been made last year, but this had also failed through the opposition of a ratepayer who was not satisfied with the boundaries. The Caairman then moved the adoption of the statment of accounts, which was seconded by Mr Goodwin, and carried. Mr W. Knox Kennie moved that it be an instruction to the new Board that another effort be made to divide the district into wards. This was seconded by Mr J. R. Liddle, strongly supported by Mr Taylor, and carried uaanimously. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and re tiring members terminated the proceedings.

Important to farmers. d. clarke's carbolized Wheat Protector HAS BEEN USED FIFTY YEARS WITH UNDEVIATING SUCCESS. IT has been amply proved by the Testi monials of thousands of the First Practical Agriculturists in England, as well as by dozens of farmers in the Ash burton District, that this preparation materially assists the germination of the sesd, causing the young plant to come up much sooner, and crow more vigorously, protects it to maturity from tbe ravages of the Slug, Grub, and Wireworm, adds firmness to the straw to support the ear. Seed dressed with this preparation may remain for any length of time without sustaining injury, and invariably PRODUCES WHEAT PERFECTLY FREE FROM SMUT, And of greater value than that grown from seed dressed with other preparations.

I took rheu matio fever and waa a good while in ihe hands of the doctors; at last it seemed all to lodge in my ankle. I had to walk with a oiutoh and stick. The dootor at last advised me to go to Christohuroh and get the foot taken off, which I objeoted to do. I got vary disheartened, as there peemed no cura for me. I heard of the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and got one bottle, and before v wae done I was able to Jay aside my sticks act] to resume business, and have bad no trouble since. It is a valuable remedy. I can highly recommend it, as I believe it haa no equal. D. MACPHEB3ON.
