Business Notices. \KTAB. WITH RUSSIA.—At the ptet YV sent juncture it would be difficule for any one except a prophet of th higheat rank to aay whether or not the present negotiations between England and Russia will lead to a general European war, or whether they will end in smoke. ' The absence of foil information as to what la transpiring between the two countries nay indicate that the political breeze is blowing harmlessly past ; or, it may be the awful silence which generally precedes a storm. In either case, we ought to be prepared for the worst. If a general war breaks out the price of nearly every article "of commerce will rise. Among other ' commodities, wool and labor will go _ up. Now ia the time, therefore, to lay in a stock of clothing, before the gjneral ad ’ vanco begins. In ord«r that we may not / be oanght napping we have just purchased a Splendid Assortment of Winter Tweeds and other mateiails necessary to a well equipped tailoring establishment, which wo are prepared to offer at unusually low prices for cash. Regarding stylo and fit. It is almost needless for us to repeat what everbody knows, viz, that by our scien tific mode of cutting, and tho care exer cised by us in fitting the figure, a mis-fit ia an impossibility.—Craighead asd Co., Merchant ‘failora,. Tancred street.

PROSPECTUS



Ashburton woollen manu facturing company (LIMITED). (To be Registered under the Joint Stock Companies Act, 1882.) Capita! L 30.000 (with power to increase to LDOjOOO), divided into shares of L 5 each. Provisional Directors— George H. Greenwood (Chairman) T Bollock, J.P. E. G.' Crisp, Geo. Coleman J. Chalmers 0. T. Dudley, J.P. O. Dieby . H. Friedlander,J.P. JohnGrigg, M.H.R. O. J. Harper, J. J> . O. G. Hawdon, J.P. A. Harrison G. Jenkins Geo. Jameson Hon. J. McLean J. Orr 0. W. Purnell Dr Ross G. Scott D. Thomas E. G. Wright D. Williamson J. Ward Robert Wilkin, J.P. Bankers—Bank of Australasia. Solicitor—C. W. Purnell. Secretary—Alfred Bunting. The Provisional Directors, having ar ranged for the purchase of the land, buildings, and woollen manufacturing machinery lately belonging to the Ash burton Woollen Factory Company, have decided to form a Company for the pur 'pose of- completing the work and com mencing the manufacture of woollen goods as early ss possible. j(o) The section of land on which the buildings are erected faces the main road from Ashburton to Mount Somers, and contains seven acres of freehold, distant miles from the Ashburton railway station, and in every way well suited to the purpose lor which it has been selected. buildings, which are of brick and exceedingly well built, include engine-house, boiler-house, drying room, main mill-room (200 ft x 80ft), • meebanio’s shop, woolshed, dyehouse storerooms and offices. 1 (c) The machinery includes 36*h. p. en gine and boilers, wool-scouring ma chines, scribblers and condensers, T mules, twisting frame, looms, milling and finishing machinery, all quite new and of the latest English design.



' The land, bniidings and machinery are offered to the public for L 5,500 (being LB,OOO leas than the actual original cost). To connect the shafting with the engine and machinery, which is now being done, and to put the whole into thorough working order, an expenditure not exceeding LIOOO may be required ; the Company will then have a Factory complete in every respect, ' fitted with the most modern appliances, at two-thirds less coat than any other Com pany in the colony; the total Cost not ex ceeding LG,500. "Hr Greenwood, who is at present acting &s chairman, has had large experience in the. manufactureof woollen goods in Eng land and is well acquainted with the re quirements of the colony. Under his supervision the machinery is being placed in-position, to be ready for active opera tions when the next clip of wool comes to hand in October next. Other Factories in the colony, started under much less favorable auspices, ate now paying with regularity dividends of , 10 per cent, as well ae placing substantial axdfWnts to their respective reserve funds. ■ It ii, therefore, with much confidence the Provisional Directors recommend the un dertaking to the public as a thoroughly wound and safe investment. The Provisional Directors have already subscribed for LIO.OOO worth of shares, and now invite applications for the re mainder. PiVe’shillings per share will be payable on .application ; five shillings per pidrfirim'allotment; and the ba aoce will bw called' np as occasion may require, at the '-xate of five shellings per share, at intervals of not less than two months. r : Applications fpr shares will be received the Brovitional Directors, the bankers, or by the Secrets; ‘ 8

Windermere, 6th June, 1885. Gentlemen, —Your requisition, inviting me to stand for Wakanui, adds one more to the many tokens of goodwill which I have received from my fellow settlers in the County of Ashburton. Although I would much prefer at the present time to take no further burdens upon my shoulders, I feel that a requisition such as that which you have pre* seated to me is almost of the nature of a command to discharge a public duty. I therefore have the honor to accept your invitation, and will take an early opportunity of addressing the electors. Having been amongst the first to invite Sir Julius Vogel to stand for Ashburton I shall, if returned, be prepared to support whatever measures he may bring forward in the interests of the Colony. I would support such measures of the Customs Tariff as would conduce to the establishment of any industry which gave promise of 11 mrishing In the land ; but I would object to the impositiou of heavy duties to stimulate enterprises which wonld collapse whenever that support might be withdrawn. I should vote for the purchase of the District Railways, at an equitable price, as between the shareholders of the railways and the ratepayers of the colony, and would advocate the repeal of the Act as a measure which should never have been placed upon the Stalnte Book. The Railway between Canterbury and the West Coast I regard as a work of Colonial importance, which the iorernment should take in hand immediately, should it not be taken up by a London Syndicate, Upon the question of Federation, I am of opinoin that New Zealand should, as far as possible, retain independence of action, and that the questions to be deter mined by a Federal Council should be limited to defence a-ainst a common enemy, the exclusion of European criminals from the Islands of the South Seas, and other matters in which there could be no clashing of Australian with New Zealand interests I am, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, EDWARD G. WRIGHT. To Donald Williamson, Esq., and the other gentlemen signing the roisition. -3# FANcr JFreetrade Bakery NEAR BRIDGE.

I am happy to sayjjyour Puimonio Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom I have had the pleasure of recommending yonr specific have spoken of it as invaluable. In one case when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the cough was so distressing) the first dose of your Elixir proved most effective. In another case (sore throat) a core was soon brought about that the patient resolved in the future to take no thing else. Other cases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. From C. F. S alike, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor— Inglls’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20.1884 I have used year Pulmonic Elixir in my family for some years past, and have found it very efficacious in chest and throat complain's. From William Reed, Esq., Shipping and Customs agent— Lyttelton, Nov. 28. 1883. I have used your Long Preserver in my family for thedast fourteen years, there- I fore have the greatest pleasure in bearing testimony to its efficacy in the treatment of coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup whoop ing cough, etc. 1 have recommended it to my friends, who have also proved it a very palatable and speedy cure for chest and throat complaints. 1 have uniformly found a single dose of “ Lung Preserver,” cheek a severe paroxysm of coughing. I shall on all occasions have great pleasure In recommending it to sufferers, as I con sider it a boon to mankind. From Isa 4o Allen Esq., Commission Agent— Hereford street, Christchurch, December 6, 1883. After seven years’ experience 1 have great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of your “ Lung Preserver,” having proved It in my family to be a specific for coughs, colds, eta, a few doses invariably subdu ing the nasty harassing cough, while re lieving the throat and chest, it does not, like other nostrums, disorder the digestive organs by inducing nausea, constipation, headaches, loss of appetite, eta I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and most palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, eta -io highly do we esteem it that wa always keep a supply on hand. From W. B. Scorr, Esq. , Builder, etc , Peterborough reet, Christchurch, December 4, 1883. Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of yonr “ Pulmonic Elixir and Lung Preserver,” for tightness in the cheat. I did so, and from that time I have never been without it In the house. 1 ■ have found it to answer in every respect for coughs, colds, and sore throat and would strongly advise those that are suf fering from such complaints to try it.

The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is es I pecially true of a family medicine, and it i positive proof that the remedy imitated is O the highest value. As soon as it has ■ tested and proved by the whole world that Hon Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country • had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stud instead, expecting to make • money on the credit and good name of Many others tazted nostrums put up in me* : lar style to H.B, with variously devheßL names in which the word “ Hop ’ or - ‘HcpS ' were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters.
