The Greymouth Rifles paraded at the Drill Shed last evening before Major Morice, who by reason of his promotion leaves the position of captaincy vacant. He thanked the men for their attention to drill during his term of office. Lieutenant Lutz congratulated their late captain and the company accorded him throe hearty cheers. We draw our readers attention to Griffen and Smith’s inset in this evening’s issue of the town edition, notifying the general public that they have a splended display of Xmas stockings, packets, hampers etc. The firm have also imported some handsome crockery and fancy lines which they are now selling at prices that cannot fail to bring customers. Another old resident of Brunner has passed away in the person of Mrs Alice Clarke, who for the past twentyseven years has resided at Brunner. Decesed was seventy years of age and a kindly old soul, well liked by the residents She leaves a grown up family to mourn her loss.

A very much larger number of recruits for South Africa have offered themselves than can be accepted, the number given to this district being but ten. The Board of selection meet this evening at the Wharf Hotel to pick out the men, who will be despatched to Wellington as soon as possible. Mark Sprot and Co held a most successful sale of Japanese goods at their rooms in Mackey street yesterday afternoon, there being a number of buyers present. At the present time everyone is on the look out for something new in Xmas presents, and Mark Sprot and Co. being aware of this fact will sell the balance of the goods privately this evening. In the course of the walk through life it often becomes one’s lot to be called upon to make a small presentation to one’s friends, more-so when the eve of Christmas-tide is upon us. Now, we draw our readers attention to the advertisement of T. H. Garth, appearing on our fourth page, in which he brings before the public a magnificent assortment of goods amongst which is a splendid display of cigars (the best brands) 12 in a box for 5/-, this is a special line for presentation. Mr. Garth has, owing to the increased pressure of business, enlarged the shop and saloon, and has just imported another shaving lounge, which now makes the third in use in this well conducted hairdressing business. This saloon, now it has been renovated, can compare with any saloon in the colony, well lighted, ventilated, and conducted by three artists that would be hard to excel.

The superior qualities of the Ceylon Teas, are rapidly supplanting the inferior Chinese products in all the markets of western civilization. The teas grown in the virgin lands of the Singalese, possesses greater strength, richer aroma, and an infinitely larger percentage of the Alkaloid Theine, (the active principle and stimulating property of the plant) than do the teas grown by artificial cultivation on exhausted soil of China. Hence bulk for bulk, the Ceylon Teas are cheaper, purer, more stimulating, and possess a rare fragrance, wanting in those of the Celestial Empire. Of all the brands of Ceylon Teas, the “ Kiosk ” stands eminently supreme and without rival. Messrs Harley and Co, the wellknown auctioneers and general agents, are the solo agents for Westland of this incomparable brand, and sell it to the general public in full chests, and 51b packages. If a trial is made of the Kiosk tea, no other will again bo used and knowing that “once a customer a customer for ever." Messrs Harley and Co, are offering it for the present at

prices that no other firm can compel against. All large consumers, and head of households, would do well to give th “ Kiosk ’* tea a trial. There is quality economy, and money in it,— AdvtDefinite arrangements have now beer made for a series of concerts to bo giver on the Coast by a party of Christohurol vocalists, Mr F. Natley Meadows will hi in advance of the Company, and wil arrive here shortly. The Company, it i< expected, will leave Christchurch on the 31st of this month and come overland We note that the services of Mr George March, Canterbury’s most artistic baritone, have been secured. Many of the party's proposed items will be heard in Christchurch on Friday, at e last

Leiderlafel Concert, which is always looked forward to as being the musical treat of the year. A concert will be given in Greymonth early in January, and Beefton, Kumara and Hokitika will also bo visited by this talented party. The showrooms and ladies’ departments of Messrs Tymons and Co.’s drapery establishment, have been placed under the immediate personal charge of Miss McWilliams, who has come from Australia under special engagement to the firm. Miss McWilliams has a professional status unsurpassed in the Oolonia world, and at Messrs Buckley and Nunn’s and Roberts and Moffatt’s huge establishments in Melbourne, and Horderns, and Palmer’s colossal fashionable Sydney warehouses, the departments under her direction were the spocia and most attractive features. At Messi s Tymons and Co.’s warehouse the latest, I est and most fashionable styles can therefore be relied upon, and all information ccrcerning the perfection of dress and personal decoration will be cheerfully given.— Advt. Some of the highest living medical authorities attribute the great growth of physical and mental disease which has characterised the last few decades, to the universality of adulturation. They affirm that the taking into the system continually by human beings as food, substances which are chemically foreign and not only incapable of sustaining healthy life, but constitute a perpetual danger to it, Is largely responsible for the new and complex diseases that baffle their curative skill. Therefore be wise in time, eat only K Jam

and avoid these dangers. Absolute purity guaranteed— Advt.
