Our 'local cotcm sent up a lonely growl last week because they dhd not get the The Teachers' Convention re- port more(?) than "a few hours before. going to press", The more plausible reason being; that the ADvoQt1T.0 was handed the copy first. A copy - of the proceeding's ems given otu ootoin on Wednesday morning about 730 o'clock which would at least give 10 hours to prepare it for the press: Miller inform• cd us that he 'sets' type at the rate of 4 columns per data the article in ques• r re , • tion contained1;r columns of mat yet inferring; from his own statement he could have set the report by noon. As for space the `fames is never wants ing, as two or three columns of stereo typed matter could be thrown out to their credit, as every other week much of this matter is about two weeks old The following i;, a sample of our totem's consistancy—The report of the Usborne Council rninutes was kept in the Times office for more than one day and just as we were going to press Wednesday evening May llth, (about 6.30) the Times' 'devil' rushtd into our office with the report for publication. Of course we did not publish it that week, (we do not buy foreign stereotyped matter for our columns—if our news Should happen to be 0 or 8 days old, it is 'set up' in. this office) and therefore could not make room, but as hundreds of the ADVOCATE readers never see the Times we published the report for their benefit. We hope our totem will not worry because all their subscribers diel not see the Convention report in their last issue. We were only asked for. 2 extra copies of the ADVOCATE, So it IS evident that all who desired, read the report. LJ(")AB FOR SERVICE= The undersigned has for service, ou lot 21, Con. 3.

His rolls were models of neatness and his assessments rarely disputed or reversed. Some years ago by the falling' of timbers he received internal heju `les which it is supposed brought about his early de- mise, for one of his rugged constitu- tion would more likely be regarded as one to live out more than the. allotted three score and ten.

Communoiation, TOEDITOR ADVOCATE. Dear Sir,—I have been so busy this past week that I havehad no time to reply to that bueketful of slash written by "Farmer." I will just say to him that it is quite in keeping with this sort of Farmers to twist the evidence and make black white. I hope Mr. B. has been greatly elevated by his ful- some flattery, but say, what about the grand (?) celebration? If I didn't sign my name why did'nt you sign yours to be consistent with your pretensions to being. above board ? I am a coun- tryman and 'lever lived in your vil- lage and don't own a foot of land in it; but "Farmer" cannot say that he lives outside of your. town.
