PREDICTIONS BY TBS Greatest Living Astronomer,, For the next Fortnight. "D TTDDT \ Will be using all posX\ IJ ijjjlxx Bible means to delay declaring WAR for tbe nest fortnight, DURING WHICH TIME Fabian Bros will continue their great clearing sale at still further reductions. Men and Boys’ clothing will be saorified at hall cost. Boots and shoes at still greater reductions. THIS NEXT FORTNIGHT will be eventful for the enormous reductions in Carpets and Ulsters. DURING THE COMING FORTNIGHT the inhabitants of the Wairarapa will be jubilant over the Bargains to be obtained at Fabian Bros. DESPITE WAR RISKS the nest fortnight will be remarkable for the extraordinary cheapness in Holloware and General Ironmongery at Fabians’. THIS NEXT FORTNIGHT will be mentioned in the annals of History as a record of the ridiculous reductions in Ladies’ and Girls’ Jackets. THESE EVENTS WILL CERTAINLY take place; WAR will be declared at the end of this fortnight despite the peaceful announcements put forth by the CZAR, and all these WONDERFUL PROPHECIES will take place. We ask the whole population of the Wairarapa to prove the correctness of these PREDICTIONS by visiting Fabian Bros Establishment were they will taka place. No puff-no blow-GENUINE PREDICTIONS, and we intend Proving them—for fourteen days only, after which WINTER FORTIFICATIONS will commence to be erected. FABIAN BROS.
