PICTURES of all local events

and all the NEWS. The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.
Easter Week has been eventful in Hong Kong and China. The holidays began with war clouds hanging over Canton, bringing in their train the portent of trade dislocation. Other counsels prevailed and Canton now stands devoutly for peace.
Conditions in the Yangtsze Valley, Central China, are not so encouraging. But the worst that can be said is that deve lopments are panning out much as expected, so that the civil war ought to finish carly; and China will be able to proceed with setting her house in order; and merchants, both Chin- ese and foreign, will be able to continue their business. with- out further hindrance.
Disturbing news has come through from Fukien about interference with an establishment of the London Mission Society.
Other than that, and the unrest in Shantung promontory, there is not much else to cause alarm. It is the duty of Hong Kong, therefore, to tell the world and Exitam in parti- cular what the position is so that there need be no further besitation. A good, sound way of describing the latest oc currences is to send the "Overland Cluna Mail,” with its news,
articles, comment and pictures pictures of local people and scenes. It is the only illustrated weekly budget of news published in Hong Kong; and it contains all the “local” and
China" news of the week.
