To the Electors of the Gisborne Biding. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN—Having served the interests of the County for the last three years, I would Jrespectfully ask that you would, judging by my past actions, support my candidature for a seat in the Council. If returned I shall consistently advocate your interests in common with the rest of the County, and I shall be decidedly in favor of laying a permanent line of tramway to Ormond in preference to Patutahi where in my opinion it is not required. In the event of the Waste Lands being vested in the County Council I shall always be in favor of having the lands settled under the Homestead System, believing this to be the only good mode of utilising the large areas held by the Crown in the district, —I am &c., Yours faithfully, 163 . DUNCAN G. McKAY. Cheap Meat ! Cheap Meat! ! TO the Inhabitants of MAKARAKA, MATAWHERO, and the surrounding Districts. This is to give notice that I intend to run a Meat Cart every TUESDAY, THURSDAY and SATURDAY when customers can be served with Prime Joints at a Nominal Figure. SAMUEL HOE, 159 Butcher, Ormond. The Public Trust Office. Guaranteed by the State. A LTHOUGH this Office has been in existence for a period of more than seven years, it is believed that the objects for which it was .established are not sufficiently known or understood. It is desired to set forth in a concise form information respecting the business which this office undertakes :— 1. The charge of all kinds of money trusts, such as Marriage Settlements, moneys to be invested for the benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, moneys the title to which is in dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown or cannot be found, &c., &c. 2. The administration of the Wills of persons who by appointing the Public Trustee as their executor secure the guarantee of the State for the due fulfilment of their wishes, and avoid the risk consequent on the appointment- of private persons as executors, who not unfrequently, though earnestly de? sirous of acting for the benefit of parties interested, fail to carry out legally the objects for which they were appointed, and consequently involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to protect in costly and harassing litigation. 3. The administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to incur the responsibility of administration, or cannot from any cause obtain the necessary powers to act. In such cases it is the duty of the Public Trustee to discharge all legal debts as far as the assets extend, and divide the residue amongst the next of kin. 4. The administration of the estates of lunatics, lunatic patients, and convicts. 5. The charge of all lands lying waste and unoccupied of which the owner is unknown, or who has been absent from the Colony for ten years, having left no known agent. The cost of administering estates is very small. Information may be obtained from al) agents. R. C. HAMERTON, 80 Public Trustee
