; r. Bankers: Union Bank of Australia, Ash burton. Solicitor: Mr. E. G. Crisp. Secretary (pro fern..): Mr S. B. Poyntz. The Company is proposed to be formed for the establishment of a Woollen Fac ” tory, for the purposes of providing a local for wool grown in the district; of I converting the wool into manufactured " gpods, and of selling such goods wholesale a ‘‘brother wise. The promoters have arranged for the purchase, at a reasonable price, of a suit able site with water power, on the bank of the Ashburton river, about three quarters of a mile from the township, and arrangements have been made for the con struction of a water-race through the fend for the purpose of working the ma -1 chinery. Efficient machinery, to the value of £1,500, has already been secured, which is capable of being worked by either steam or water power. . Taking into consideration tn© following facts:—l. That woollen goods are imported into the colony to a very large extent, on .which freight and an import duty of 16f ‘'per cent, have to be paid; 2. That the pima ‘quality and description of goods can be manufactured here at leas cost by using the locally-produced wool; 3. That .... the present New Zealand factories have L " met with great success, but at the same time are quite inadequate to the task of supplying the increasing demand; and, 4. ■ That the proposed factory would have a great advantage in being situated in the centre of a large wool-producing district, .!>■ __the Provisional Directors feel that they may confidently submit this prospectus to the public. Objection might be taken to the small , ness of the proposed capital as insufficient for carrying on the business on a lucrative scale, but the Provisional Directors, after full consideration of the matter, believe 1 they have taken the wisest course, as, in dependently of other reasons, they believe that after the factory is in working order and an established fact, any capital re quired for a more extended business could be obtained with greater ease and readiness. „ , . ~ As the shares have been fixed at a small amount, persons of limited means as well as capitalists will be enabled to invest in the undertaking, which, in the course of • time, is calculated to yield a good inte rest on invested capital, and at the same time establish a permanent industry in the J ) As a large number of shares have already been applied for, early application is necessary.

Though the road be so rough that the progress is slow, Though our knees may be aching with bumps, Twill be changed if a little further So never be down in the dumps. Should folk disappoint—say, your tailor, to wit, With separate garment or suit, Visit G. J. F. Lublow for perfection in fit, And saving your money to boot He'll suit you with all that is novel and rare, And prove himself a regular " trump," For giving both cheapness and thorough good wear, So never be down in the dumps.

" mAKE TIME BY THE FORE- X LOOK" The circumstances of social life are widely different in these colonies from those at Home, and therefore the colonial market requires different treatment. This fact Robert Murray, PRACTICAL WATCHMAKER, East street, Ashburton, was not long in learning after his arrival on these shores, and he at once set his attention upon supplying WATCHES, which, while constructed with every regard to accuracy and reliableness in time-keeping, are also supplied with extra heavy cases, to resist the wear and tear of colonial life. He has just received an other supply of watches, and invites attention to prices. Celebrated Englisa levers, made expressly for R. Murray, specially suited for colonial wear, with extra heavy cases, all the latest improvements, at L 6, L 6 6s, L 6 10s ; higher classes, L 7, L 8 10s, LlO 108, and Ll2 12s; Rotherhams, L 6 10s.
