be the best esker for the new undorm, the Mallamshire
Bides have taken action and decided to substitute • scarlet

Jlahl / that the new tunic is really very hand-
that the change meets with great favour from
the welanteere. " The cloth of the new tunic," rys our
orkerporary, "is of the same kind as that worn by the
Onmmie, and is therefore of excellent quality. The tunic

and, superior as is the quality of the tunic, the cost will not
