Fnedlander Bros. beg to announce that they have disposed of their IRONMONGERY AND GROCERY BUSINESS TO MR. HENRY ZANDER who has now taken possession, and will conduct the same solely on his own ao count from this date. Selling Off! Selling Off!! Selling Off!!! DRAPERY AND CLOTHING. FRIEDLANDER BROS. have also resolved to dispose of tbeir Drapery and Clothing Business, but as the stock in these Departments is much in excess they are determined to reduce it, and in order to do so everything will be re-marked at Astonishingly Low ?

Business Notices- WAR WITH RUSSIA.—At the pre sent juncture it would be difficult for any one except a prophet of the highest rank to say 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 full information as to what is transpiring between the two countries may 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 ot nearly every article of commerce will rise. Among other commodities, wool and labor will go up. Now is the time, therefore, to lay in a stock of clothing, before the g moral ad vance begins. In ord«r that we may not be caught napping we have just purchased a Splendid Assortment of Winter Tweeds and other materails necessary to a well equipped tailoring establishment, which w*t are prepared to offer at unusually low prices for cash. Regarding style and fit, it is almost needless for us to repeat what everbody knows, viz, that by our scien tific mode of cutting, and the care exer cised by us in fitting the figure, a mis-fit is an impossibility,— Craighead and Co., Merchant Tailors, Tancred street. ”13 s*s w am jySSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP. In consequence of the firm of J. MEEOH & Co., of Ashburton, Furniture

All debts owing must forthwith be paid to J. 0. DDNCAN agent, or to JOHN MEECH ; either of whose receipts will b a sufficient discharge. Funerals conducted at extremely mode rate charges. PROSPECTUS OF THE Ashburton woollen manu facturing COMPANY (LIMITED). (To be Registered under the Joint Stock Companies Act, 1882.) Capital L 30.000 (with power to increase to L&0,000), divided into shares of L 5 each. Provisional Directors- George H. Greenwood (Chairman) T Bullock, J.P. E. G. Crisp, Geo. Coleman J. Chalmers C. T. Dudley, J.P. O. Dif by H. Friedlander,J.P. JohnGrigg, M. H.R. O. J. Harper, J. C. G. Hawdon, J.P. A. Harrison G Jenkins Geo. Jameson on. J. McLean J. Orr O. W. Purnell Dr Ross G. Scott D. Thomas K. G. Wright D. Williamson J. Ward Robert Wilkin, J.P. Bankers—Bank of Australasia. Solicitor—O. 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 as possible. (a) 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 for which it has been selected. ( b) The buildings, which are of brick and exceedingly well built, include enuin s-house, boiler-house, drying room, main mill-room (200 ft x 80ft), mechanic’s shop, woolshed, dyehouse storerooms and offices. (c) The machinery includes 36-h.p. en gine and boilers, wool-scouring ma chines, scribblers and condensers, mmes, twisting frame, looms, milling and finishing machinery, all quite new and of the latest English design. The land, buildings and machinery are offered to the public for L 5.500 (being LB,OOO less than the actual original cost). To connect the shafting with the engine and machinery, which is now being done, and tolput 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, 1 fitted with the most modern appliances, at two-thirds less cost than any other Com pany in the colony ; the total cost not ex ceeding L 6,500. Mr Greenwood, who is at present acting as chairman, has had large experience in the manutacture of 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 lions when the next clip of wool comes t» hand in October next. Other rectories in the colony, started under much less favorable auspices, are now paying with regularity dividends of 10 per cent, as well as placing substantial amounts to the.r respective reserve funds. It is, therefore, with much confidence the Provisional Directors recommend the un dertaking to the public as a thoroughly sound and safe investment. The Provisional Directors have already subscribed for LIO,OOO worth of shares, and now invite applications for the re mainder. Five shillings per share will be payable on application ; five shillings per share on allotment; and the balance will be called up as occasion may require, at the rate of five shillings per share, at intervals of not less than two months. Applications for shares will be received by any of the Provisional Directors, the Oompany'a bankers, or by the Secretary

Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Whooping Cough, Sore Throat, and all affections of the Chest and Throat. EFFOTU ALLY RELIEVED & CURED BY BAXTER’S Lung Preserver. TESTIMONIALS ; From Rev. Charles Penny— ] Reefton (Late of Christchurch), I March 17, 1884 ! I am happy to sayjyour Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom 1 have had the pleasure of recommending your 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 cure 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 0. F. Saiteb, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor — Inglia’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884 I have used your Pulmonic Elixir in my family for some years past, and hare found It very efficacious in chest and throat complaints. From William Reed, Esq., Shipping and Customs Agent— Lyttelton, Nov. 28. 1883. I have used your Lung Preserver in my family for the last fourteen years, there fore have the greatest pleasure in bearing testimony to its efficacy in the treatment of coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup whoop ing cough, etc. I 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, check 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*.o Axistr 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, etc., 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, etc. I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and most palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, etc. So highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand.



From W. B. Score, Esq., Builder, etc., Peterborough reet, Christchurch, December 4, 1883. Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of your “ Pulmonic Elixir and Lung Preserver," for tightness in the chest. 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.
