On Sunday the s.s. Ivy will make an excursion trip to .the heads. The Payne family are now performing at tnglewood. ahd are working their way, down the (roast. It is just, possible that they may ]Miy Ihi.^ town a visit; to the lovers of music this would prove a treal . Mr DahL at Palmerston and Foxton, unAeratands what mosquitoes are like in the summer, arid he notifies that lie has tents made to keep them out. 'and that these tents are not only well made, but aye properly made, and this is eyeiything. . Mr William Collins has commenced business as a carter. He is so well .known that there is no need to speak of his energy and honesty, so he is sure to secure a fair share of the trade. .. •: Breeders be glad to notice that Mr 'Grtfo\'gt?"Cfj\ey is again placing his draught horse Curate at their command. We he lieve that the season he had last year has been so satisfactory that his list will not lie long in tilling .up, more especially so. as he appears to be the only draught at the service of the farmers. On the fourth page will be found the new advertisement of Stewart, Dawson &' Co.'s watriies and jewellery." The business that they have built up for themselves at -the Auckland branch of their Liverpool house, since 18H4, has been .so satisfactory,' that they have, notwithstanding the dull times now experienced in Auckland, entered upon a renewal of .the lease of the. premises occupied by them. 'We recommend a perusal of their price list. The success achieved by this firm is only another of the daily instances offering of the satisfactory results arising from good advertising. Mr Tripe notifies that he will visit Vox ton. on the 24th and 2oth of October. It will .tie noticed that Mr A. Southey Eaker has determined to send a competent f .lerk down once a week to attend" to husilies* which may be, -"intrusted to him. Last Wednesday the tram contractor had too much steam on his lively engine, the Fox, as during some shunting operations he succeeded iv driving the end of the carriage shed, on the wharf, clean out, and derailing two trucks. As this building lielongs to the ante-diliixiftn age, .aflnd.the architecture is of thatperibd when the t'pwn i. had a Government resident engineer, it is needless to say that it is not ornamental, and the repairs, therefore, will not. amount to much. . Our drapers, bless them, have all with one accord desired to let the public know that they have spring goods now opened up. We were unprepared for such startling unanimity, and must therefore hpld over to another issue a description of the various fabrics that are unfolded to grace the form of lovely woman', but we will make an effort for our next., , We. merely: therefore draw attention to the notice .inserted by Messrs- McMillan, Rhodes A Cb, Mr ,T. K Hamilton, and the Ready Montey store. The efforts of the drapers should not cease even here, and advertising, and nothing font advertising (except also Saving excellent goods) is the true keystone to .success.
