Stone's Otago and Southland Directory

We have to thank Messrs. Stone, Son, and Co., Ltd., Dunedin, for a copy of their Otago and Southland Directory for the-current year. This is the twentyninth issue of this very useful and reliable publication, and like its predecessors it contains numerous improvements -in audition to the great mass of information supplied in previous editions. In order to facilitate the finding or names, a number of references are given throughout the alphabetical division. By means of these references a person, looking for a name of which he knows the pronunciation only, will find the information sought for, where otherwise he might be at a loss, through an unusual mode of spelling the name not occurring to him at the time.. The principal divisions of the work are :—Street, country, alphabetical, trades, municipal, official, judicial, educational, and ecclesiastical directories; railway, postal, and telegraphic information. The * New Zealand Annual,’ consisting of 150 pages, gives a great deal of useful information about the Dominion as a whole,! and will be found to be a very handy and convenient work of reference. The maps and plans that accompany the work have been prepared specially for it, and corrected to date. The Directory is a work which should not be absent from the desk or library of any business man or farmer in Otago and Southland. ° v
