ample of the value of preserving character in
a newspaper is the history of the Montreal
witness, which the speaker regarded as per-
haps the most influential journal in Canada.
This, he considered, was due to the sound,

the Witness. It hes invariably been found

and a faithful recorder of events."

Leaving
Town
This Time sure
About 15 years ago we advertised a'sale
to the same effect. The sale was genuine but
we did not go and that seems to stick in the
crop, especially of Old Timothy's hypocritical
patronage. We leave it with the public to judge
whether we told a half lie or whole lie, or white,
black or copper colored lie, a fake lie or an hon-
orable lie. Our hosts of friends who patronize
us are the ones with good backbone, therefore
on Monday, 24th Dec., if Old Timothy will stand
up straight and trip fair we'll down him with
the following prices. If not, for the little length
of time I will be in,Brussels I will work for noth-
ing and board myself, and will make it our busi-
ness to see that you will get an assorted stock
until we leave town, which will be in about two
months.
