CYCLIST OR PEDESIRIAN?

TO THE EDITOR. SlB, — Kindly allow me through the medium of your columns to ask the follow ing question : — ls the track inside the rails of the Ashburton traffic bridge provided for the use . of cyclists and pedestrians, or for the latter only ? £b far as I can see there is no objection to the cyclists using it, pro vided that they do not do so to the danger of foot jasEengera. I think the least cyclists can do (who use thia track m pre ference to the rough decking outside the rails) is to dismount on meeting anyone on foot. The ladies are tie prin cipal offenders m this. During the past ten days several ladies m charge of children have been m great danger of being run into on this track.— l am, etc., Footpad. [No cyclist has any right to ride his machine on the track referred to, which is m every sense of the word a footp th. — Ed ]



Holloway's Pills and Ointment. A great b essing to humanity is without doubt a medicine composed of ingredieuis thaf, whilst it eradicates the germs of disease, strengthens the system. Hulloway's Pills act iv thia manner, and m general debility, mental depression and nervous irritability there ia no remedy which operates so beneficially. They purify the blood, give- tone to the siomach and thoroughly regener- ate the system. They are mild m operation, although most powerful m removing disease. Delicate females and young children can take them with safety and benefit. It would be d ffieult to enumerate all the advantages to be derived by taking these wonce<ful pilta. No household should be without them, for there is no complaint which they cannot cure or relieve. r —•»'' "^ PBIZS POULTRY. ryiHR Proprietor of the PELHAM. i POULTHY YARDS draws attention to the fact th«t owing to the necessity for reducing stock vhlu-iMp birds for breeding iiii»y be obtained at g eatiy rt-diicf-.i i)ri.i.=>a The Indian Game, Hou-ians, and Partridge Cochins, some of the best layiog and table fowls kcown, are ir,<m the best strains m the Colony BESSIE SIMMONDS, , TEACHER OF THE VIOLIN AND MUSIC SELLER, BEGS to inform the Inhabitants of Ash- burton and Surrounding Districts that she has commenced Business m those pre- m'ses next to Mr Seymour, Dentist, and opposite the Ashburton Publishing Company.
