The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.

This week's "Overland China Mail" is a true reflex of the busy time the Colony has had socially and in other directions during the last few days. Accordingly, the "Overland," which is the only Illustrated weekly news budget of the Colony, is full of interesting reading matter which will be acceptable to folks in the Old Country and friends in other parts of the world,

The "Overland” tells about the New Year Honours which came to Hong Kong; about the magnificent investi- ture held at 'Government House; about the unique Agricul- tural Show in the New Territories when H.E. the Governor (Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G.) took the opportunity to bid good-bye to his many friends among the country Chinese; and also about that annual function of Englishmen in the Colony, St. George's Ball.

There are many other subjects which engage attention. These are too numerous to mention individually but they go to add value in the "Overland,” which is certain to be in demand. Make sure of your copy.
