THE J.G. FARMERS' ASSOCIATION.

Press Association—By Electric Telegraph,

Dunkdin, July 24 Mr Ward handed in a statement of his Josses and expenditure from September 1, 1692, toJuue3o, 1896. Mr Fisher'a examination resumed.—Mr Birch told him that when cheques were drawn at balancing times, 1893 and 1894, they were to be taken out the day after. Could not recollect if two cheques paying in and paying out were handed to the bank at the same time. Would not contradict Mr Birch if he said so. Considered that when he gave the warrants for the oats he had takeu proper precautions to ascertain if the oats were there. After pressure he admitted that he did consider that the action of the Association regarding the oats was a proper proceeding. Referring to his interview with Mr Ward in Wellington, he said he could not remember the details, but he felt certain he must have told Mr Ward that the latter owed the Association £55,000. He could not my how it was that he signed the balance sheet showing that the total debts due to the Association were £44,000, whereas in reality Mr Waid owed £10,000 more than that amount. Mr Fisher's examination was cot con cluded when the Court adjourned for lhe day.

THE above heading has no reference to gambling whatever, either in the way of playing a quiet game of 'vhist for penny points and threepence on the rub, or of wagering a pair of four-button gloves on the I four-oared senior outrigger championship. | It is the title of an old comedy by Galley Gibber, in which the heroine apostrophises her teapot as follows :— " Tea ! thou Boffc, thou sober, sage and " venerable liquid ; thou female tongue " running, smile soothing, heart-open " ing, wink-tippling cordial, to whose "glorious relish I owe the happiest " moments of my life, let me fall " prostrate.' This invocation was somewhat high-flown, but the same ideas flow through the minds of thousands of women of New Zealand when they reflect on the health, economy, comfort, and satisfaction which has been their lot since Sukatcjra Tea was introduced. The testimony of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Suratuka holds its high reputation because its " Strength," "Flavour," and "Quality" never vary. It is grown, not made ; it is not blended with India or China teas ; and the gardens where it is produced are noted as being less subject to climatic changes than any other in the tea-growing zone. Hence the superiority and unchanging merit of SURATURA TEA. JOHN ORR & CO., agents.
