. HAD THE WRONG MAN
Mr, Editor,
Dear Sir
:—
In last week's issue of the "Ad-
vance Times' I notice in Mr.! A. j.
Snell's "Bath to Scenes of Boyhood'
he mentioned the fact of my father
forgetting the day of the week and
going to town on Sunday. Now
while Mr. 'Snell has a good memory
he had forgotten, that the instance he
referred to was not my father but
Mr. Jas. Little, or more familiarly
known as Jimmie Little from whom
my sfather bought the farm.
,Mr. Little was a local preacher and
was supposed to preach that day, but
onnot appearing Was called on and
found him going to town with a grist
of wheat, while his wife was baking)
bread at home.
Yours truly,
Amos Tipling.
