Editor, Advaucen;i'iznes,
Wingham, Ont,,
Dear Sir;—
Sonae time ago Iwrote yoot as�z,?zif4
that the Paper be seine to above a4('
dress, Now I do 'not wish 1;o dr,ew.
any wrong conclusions, but as the 'let-
ter was ,published; it would appear at
this distance that •your mailing c:.:•rh.
"aci purposely and deliguedly; and
with malice aforethought,' ignore my
htthible request,''
The paper has 'been arriving a',iuln.
the old address crossed out and the
Present one substituted. The last one
arrived yesterday with ' the •vaoaras:
',Have your address corrected,"
stamped all over the wrapper, wizirh
would inclicate in:'unenviable state of
zn.iiid- `on the partof. the clerk per-
forming' that duty; lending ,him, or
her as the case may be, no doubt to
say "darn" or something worse. If
the party responsible for :the omission
of'whieh.I speak., could hear tlie ouw-
burst of profanity it has doubtless
caused every week, he or she would,
I am sure, never let it occur again.
'I would lilce to mention that I
found the serial story "Indian Drum"
very interesting; ',being "familiar with
the locations mentioned in Chicago,
as well as some of those 'in ,Michigan.
I' "ani also ,interested ,in Timothy
Hay's epistles on the political situa
tion and general,, trend of events. I
think •however he was, in error when
he' spoke of Huron electing 3 Grits in
1878. I: believe, the records will show
that Thomas Farrow was elected by a
handsome majority, over Dr. Sloan
the Liberal candidate in North Hur-
on.
The Dry Law seems to be working
quite satisfactorily here. At any rate
one hears it " frequently stated that
"Prohibition is' a whole lot better
than no booze at all."
