Monmouthshire Merlin

IMPORTANT TO ADVERTISERS rrJIE Counties of SOUTH WALES, bor- — dering on England, offer the most valuable and profitable fields for ADVERTISERS that can be found within the same extent in the empire-if we exclude the great Metropolis, and the rich teeming districts of the «ver.productive, the ever-absorbing NORTH. MONMOUTHSHIRE, GLAMORGANSHIRE BRECONSHIRE, with their large population, commercial enterprise, and rapidity-increasing wealth, are, unquestionably, COUNTIES to which Advertisers may look with confidence for an ample return for any outlay they may incur, in pushing their several interests, with a view to large and produc- tive sales, &c. THE MONMOUTHSHIRE MERLIN, ^A.MOEGA.JISHIRE AND BRECON SILURIAN, D SOUTH ALES DVERTISER, has been for more than a quarter of a century, the great ADVERTISING MEDIUM OF THE DISTRICT. Advertisers desirous of availing themselves of the pub- licity of its columns, are requested to address the Publisher, Mr. CHRISTOPHERS, NEWPORT, MON- MOUTHSHIRE. Advertisements inserted on a Moderate Scale; and when 'Contracted for by the Year, Half-year, or Quarter, the terms are proportionately reduced. NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION.

CHERRY, DRUGGIST, 41, COMMER- OIAL STBEET, NEWPORT, recommends these well-known Teas with the utmost confidence the repute in which they are held everywhere has been acquired by their very ex- cellent quality, and also from their being alwrys ptood alike. Horniman and Co.'s Teas have no artificial colouring on the surface, for, consisting wholly of the choice Spring gathering, there are no brown flavourless leaves that want to be disguised with a coat of colour consequently defi- cient strength is never found in these Teas.
