It refers to a paragraph in THE Tarp of a recent issue, an- nouncing a business change in the village, and states that the item was ill-founded and was likely published. by THE Maas to injure the man's busi- ness. At the request of the business man in. question, we will not mention his name, but will state that our item was correct in toto. The man did. sell his business and accepted $50 to bind the bargain, and the purchasers hav- ing as yet failed to return, he still bolds the deposit. The attack upon THE TIMES is simply malicious, if not libelous, and we would advise our parsimonious friend that before again taking TEE Tiaras .to task for mis- lette, Michigan: are visiting acquaint- ances in this vicinity. charge of- the little cannon, it was • .fte literally: blown to atoms, pieces of the 'Winch elsea. iron being carried in all directions, several portions of it a hundred yards head batter -maker for the Winchelsea there was (mite it large number stand - Butter and Cream Association, met hag by, witnessing the firing off of the with a painful accident.
