A rumor has been circulated that Mr. Chas. Barber had passed away, this is erroneous. Mr, Barber has been confined to his home, and quite seriously ill too for some time, but we are pleased to say that at time of writing he is a little better than he has been for a while. A few days ago a merchant from a neighboring town called at our office and asked to have a thousand enve- lopes. We took the order but assur- ed him lie could have been just as well pleased with the goods from one of the offices in, his own town, He was quite decided that we would give him much better quality. It is just the nature of some people to believe that an orderfor printing is so much better if a stranger does the work. We have them in Wingham.
