INNES, Chairman of Committee. GREAT FIEtES HAVE often been kindled by little sparks, and great fortunes are often made by a judicious and economical management of the "bawbees," this desirable and happy state of things.,(the fortunes I mean) can be greatly facilitated by purchasing those little everyday requirements such as clothes peg?, tobacco, babies' rattles, gunpowder, &c., at those establishments where they are the best and cheapest, and if the undersigned chooses to devote his existence for the benefit of his fellow-men (and snips) by giving things away and living on the loss, let him do so. The only reward he asks of the inhabitants of Akaroa. and the surrounding Bays is, that they should study their own interests, and try his large size Rhine pattern dinner plates, at 7s per dozen. Hotelkeepers, pause and wonder ! " The like was never seen before." Devoe's kerosene, 10s per tin, safe and pure; this oil used with the patent electric burners (sold by H. B.) will cause the Edison light to pale and resolve itself into a "cocked hat." Then again, tobacco I that universal balm for all trouble, only those who have tried it can testify to the soothing power of a pipe of good tobacco. Yet perhaps smokers are not aware that they can procure sixteen ounces of good tobacco at Economy House for 4s 6d ; yet it is so. The above startling facts will perhaps open the'eyes of some who may not have been aware that such a state of things existed in bur little community before. Contractors and builders would do well just to look in before passing; no fear of them going any farther for what they want. Guns and animation for sports- , men, and for those who are tired of 1 life (single, of course) wedding rings and i keepers. Sterling silver lever hunting' watches of the best London make, guaranteed. Harmoniums, good and cheap, and, for further particulars, see future advertisements. P.S.—The undersigned does not object to take cash for the lines quoted above, nor in fact for any goods he may sell. H BILLENS, Economy House.
