A splendid opportunity for getting a pair of boots or shoes absolutely free of charge. Holmes Bros, are making an offer to the public of Invereargill of a pair of boots or shoes to the customer who is lucky enough to be the tenth person who has purchased 10s or more worth of goods from them. All you have to do is to come along and spend ten shillings with us. and you may be the one to get the free gift. All the goods sold by us are down to bedrock, and are of best quality. Mr J. S. Goldie. draper, Dee street, opposite Yarrow st.. has let a contract for the renovation of his shop, and intends to hold a clearing sale for a short time to make way for the workmen. Mr Goldie has been an Oddfellow all his life, and this is to be an Oddfellow's sale.

The great gold, rush has set in to Oremil-j and miners are making tracks to Mr N. J.

Messrs D. It. Jones and Co., i the well-known firm of butchers, own a nice farm near the abattoirs, where their stock is quartered before being slaughtered. This insures their meat being in tip-top condition, and it is a great improvement on the method usually adopted of what is known as "wastering" the stock. The business has increased w-onderfully since the two young Invercangillites at the head of affairs took charge, and the stock of prime beef and mutton now being dispensed is by way of marking the tenth anniversary of the firm's entry into business.
