[Cheltenham]
Some eight miles north-east of Feilding, and on the Kimbolton Road, rural Cheltenham, with its homely dwellings, broad acres of rich, well-cultivated soil, and finely-bred flocks and herds, stands pleasantly enough, and as the small centre of picturesque surroundings offers inducement for an hour's resting place at the local inn, the Cheltenham Hotel. The chief industry of the village is the Cheltenham Co-operative Dairy Factory, which is referred to below. At the local post-office, which is also a telephone bureau and an office for the issue of postal notes, mails are daily received and despatched. Cheltenham is included in the Electoral District of Rangitikei, and in the County of Oroua. There is communication by coach daily to Feilding and Birmingham (Fowlers).
