IMPORTANT NOTICE. TO THE INHABITANTS OF CLYDE AND SURROUNDING DISTRICT. J EFFERY AND FRASER, while thanking the Public for the liberal patronage accorded them during the past two years, would intimate that they hav* added to their BREAD AND BISCUIT BUSINESS A Stock of GROCERIES, GENERAL PROVISIONS, DRAPERY, &c.; and they trust by their supplying a Firstclass article at the lowest remunerative rates, combined with punctuality and civility, to merit a share of public support in all their branches of business. J. and F. would further intimate that they will now charge NINEPENCE for the FOUR-POUND LOAF, instead of a Shilling.

J. and F. would beg to assure the publia that this is not one of the usual squibs, or fluctuating reductions generally resorted to by opponent bakers in order to make the weaker party collapse, and thus have the field to themselves, but they havo duly considered the matter, and can conscientiously state that it shall be a permanency.
