BEATS THEM ALL. A TRAVELLER’S TESTIMONY - IN FAVOUR OF THE WATERBURY. Mr John F. Herbertson, writes from Riverstone under date of June 21, 1894:— “ I have had a lot of watches in my time, and have a ten gniuea one now ; but I find that the Waterbury is the best timekeeper. No more expensive watches for me. I have been all over the colonies, and have travelled a good deal, and I give the Waterburys the palm. ’ Ask your jeweller for the Waterburys. If he does not keep them, send to the Head Office, Bond and Crawford streets, Dunedin. Watches can be forwarded by ost. Wholesale Agents for Southland, Walter Guthrie & Co. Our Drbss Department this season not only maintains its reputation, but has become more popular than ever; the reason is not far to seek. The materials have been choice in design, endless in variety, good in quality, and reasonable in price, and what may be said of the Dresses is equally true of the Trimmings; this, combined with perfect fit, has placed us far ahead of our compeers. We would notify our lady friends that we cannot guarantee the execution of ‘their orders for the holidays unless placed promptly. —Thomson and Bkattie.

It is a patriotic duty, &c., &c. But it may be doubted whether such advisers always follow their own counsel when a shilling may be saved by suppressing their principles. Happily there are many instances in which it is perfectly safe to give such advice, even on the score of economy. A case in point occurs to us. Mr Gawne, of Dunedin, has for some time past been manufacturing an excellent sauce intended to supply the place of the famous • Worcester. ’ Wanted-', &c STRAYED into my paddock one bay hack, mare ; no brand visible, shod all round, two white hind legs, blaze down forehead.
