Mr Hebert Mayne, the genial proprietor of the Post Office store Mangatainoka, publishes a nett cash replace advertisement in another column, which should gladden the hearts of the public of this district.

Mr C. Benzie’s (Trocadero) replace advertisement was handed in too late for to-day’s issue and will appear on Monday. The main feature of the advertisement is the intimation to the public that Mr Benzie can supply thirsty souls with a drink of the famous

“ Bovril,” which may be had at any hour. Those who once get a taste of of the world-famed “ Bovril ” discard for ever the various slushes that for centuries have done duty as refreshments.
