NO. 2.—THE POSTMAN. A rural postman writes:—‘l desire to add this unsolicited testimony to the sterling qualities of Dr. Tibbles’ ViCocoa. I am a rural postman, and exposed to all kinds of weather. I have used Dr. Tibbles’ Vi-Cocoa daily this last eleven months, and 1 believe that I can do my work with less fatigue since I have used it. I can honestly recommend to my fellow postmen Dr. Tibbles’ Vi-Cocoa for its sutaining qualities.’ Of late years many new manufactures, rejoicing in a multiplicity of names, have been brought before the public notice, but there are none which have bounded into favour so readily as has Dr. Tibbles’ Vi-Cocoa. Throughout the country its sales have increased with great rapidity, and an article which only a few years back was unheard of has now become one of the most popular beverages of the people. Merit, and merit alone, is what is claimed for Dr. Tibbles’ Vi-Cocoa, and the Proprietors are prepared to send to any reader who names the Auckland ‘Star’ (a postcard will do) a dainty sample tin of Dr. Tibbles' ViCocoa free and post paid. There is no magic in all this. It is a plain, honest, straightforward offer. It is done to introduce the merits of Vi-Cocoa into every home. Dr. Tibbles’ Vi-Cocoa, as a concentrated form of nourishment, and vitality, is invaluable: nay, more than this, for to all who wish to face the strife and battle of life with greater endurance and more sustained exertion, it is absolutely indispensable. Dr. Tibbles’ Vi-Cocoa in 81d packets and 1/1 and 2/2 tins can be obtained from all Chemists, Grocers and Stores, or from Dr. Tibbles’ Vi-Cocoa, Limited. 26S* George-street, Sydney.

On Anniversary Day, by the kind invitation of Mr and Mrs John Deans, of Riccarton. Christchurch, the St. Andrew’s Sunday School held a picnic in their grounds. In the afternoon Mrs Deans entertained many friends at afternoon tea, and before breaking up Mrs Deans, senr., presented the prizes to the school children. The Rev. Gordon Webster spoke of the pleasure it was to again have Mrs Deans to perform that ceremony, hoping she would do so on many future occasions.

It is said that Mr Williams, of Dunedin, is to take Mr Marchant’s place as chief surveyor, and reside in Picton.

Mrs R. McCallum provided a very sumptuous tea on Saturday afternoon at the Marlborough Tennis Courts, but as it set in pouring wet there were very few present, and those who were there were reduced to playing games in the pavilion. Tennis was impossible as the rain came down in torrents.

Mrs A. P. Burns, of Nelson,, gave an afternoon tea last Wednesday, when Mrs Adams, Mrs Kingdon, Mrs J. Sharp, and the Misses Webb-Bowen (2), Haselden (Wellington), Leggatt., Trimnell (Wellington), Pitt, were amongst those present.
