Members of the' general public who appreciate really smart footwear should inspect the latest importations at, Mrs. Bull’s Boot Store, Main Street. These include both ladies’ and gents’ requirements, the most attractive on the market.*

The prophesy that the Council would still be worried in the future with requests for the carrying out of various works entailing the needless! expeiidltujre oif the borough funds to -which he exhorted Councillors to turn a deaf ear at Thursday night’s special, meeting of the Borough Council was rapidly fulfilled, for as the deputation liled out of the room one of the number slipped aside to urge the Mayor to have a certain work carried out in his particular part of the borough. Tennis players in this district should specially note that Tennis Shoes of all sizes, and in various colours, can be- obtained at Mrs. Ball’s Boot -Store, Main Street. Ladies’ and Gents’ from 6/6.

The man in the seedy black frock coat leaned forward to remark to the chap on the opposite seat of the crowded tram-car: “My friend, if providence had intended you to smoke it would have put a chimney in your head.” The party addressed removed his ballered briar to reply: “And if providence had intended you to stick your long nose into other people’s business, it would have put a metal tip to it, Mister.” Everybody roared —(bar the crank. To hear some of these tobacco haters you’d imagine smoking was a crime. But ’baccy’s all right so long as it’s inure. Most imported brands are hot. Full of nicotine. And nicotine’s as deadly as prussic-acid, although slower in its action. If you want pure tobacco smoke toasted New Zealand, as thousands are doing. The toasting kills the poison. You can smoke to your heart’s content without fear of 'consequences. There are only four brands of toasted. “itiverkead Gold,” “Navy Cut No. 3,” “Cavendish,” and “Cut Plug No. 10.” They are all delightful smoking.—Advt. No. 127.
