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

he could have set the report by noon.
As for space the `fames is never wants

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

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.

took sick and although all that medi-
cal skill and careful nursing could do
to relieve her sufferings, she passed
peacefully away as above stated. The
funeral which was largely attended
took place on Saturday last and for the
first half mile was an imposing cortege

numbers and marched ahead of tha
procession,for thet;distance. They were
marshalled by her teacher Mr. G. W.
Holman, Mr W. Miners and Mr. Thos.
Andrew While the hearse bearing the
remains of their departed schoolmate
passed through the lines the children
sang beautifully, "God be with yoti
till we meet again." Two beautiful
wreaths of blossoms laid on the coin
attested the love of her teacher and
school mates. The sorrowing relatives
have the sympathy of the neighbor-
hood in their sad bereavement.

Then do we walk with her, and keep

The bond which. natuer gives,
Thinking that our remembrance
though unspoken
May reach her where she lives.
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. By the cam
total did nut"Farmer" have a good.
deal to do with getting up that huge
24th May Celebration in honor of H. M.
74th birthday.
