Mr. James Mitchell, editor of The Goderich Star, 'has been offered and has . accept- ed a position with the Dominion Ar- chieves Department. His acceptance of the posltionl involvea - his retirement from newspaper work, and after May 1st the editorial chair of The Star will be occupied by Mr. Walter F..Naftel, who has purchased a partnership in- terest and Will be associated ;with .Mr. J. W. Yanatter in conducting The Star. Naftel was with The :Signal :for a good many years as bookkeeper and re- porter, and has since been in :news- paper work at St. Thomas, Brantford and Perth.. We congratulate our old friend Mitchell on his good fortune and that he will be able. rho leave be- hind him the ceaseless cares and toil of newspaper life, which he has so long borne, and to spend 'his ,declining years in the comparative easy if not af- fluence. of a Government position. Few have better earned recognition at the hands of his party and we have no doubt 'but the duties' of Ms .new posi- tion while not burdensome will beieon- genial. Right.—The 'Stratford Beacon makes the following reference to the appoint- ment of Mr. Dingman of The ilierald to the pos'1.Licenseion of Provincial License Com- missioner at a salary of $6,000 a year and with which most newspaper men, will heartily censur : Personally. ?lir. Dingman is an excellent selection. and_ The Beacon joins his friends in extend - Ing congratulations. He is a ca obi;. business man and possess the Indu„ trJ and energy which should make him ,a useful officer—if he can restrain an inherent desire to make the view _'ma- :hin:." sapservient -to political ends, which we trust ha will do. That a pro- minent member of the provincial prestt end a past president of the Canadian Press Association should be honored by selections for such an important„ office—carrying with it emoluments be- yond the dreams of most ,editors --will .be commended by newspapermen gener- ally. It is an acknowledgment of party service by the Government not usual- ly accorded, and establishes a preced- ent that might well be followed by, both parties. The sacrifices made .by news- paper publishers are far greater than those of the average politician or states- man. 'Mr. Dingman has certainly reap- ed a rich reward. grave.

Dr. Fletcher, who was so re- cently honored by having conferred up- on him the degree of Doctor of Divin- ity by Knox College, and who has been the faithful pastor of these congrega- tions• for thirty-seven years. Dr. and Mrs. Fletcher were in Exeter, daring the day and took tea with Rev. and Mrs. Sharp and when they arrived at the church they were completely taken by surprise. WI-. Hugh Birk, of Kirk - ton, presided at the meeting. The eld- ers of the both churches were on the platform when Dr. and Mrs. Fletcher were called to the .front. Mr, W. A.

Mr. James Monteith presented the cane, Mr. John Urquhart the purse, and ,Miss Ethleen Kay, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H: Kay, on 'behalf of the congrega- tions.
