Maitland Presbytery mot in St. An-
drew's church, Wingham, on Tares-
day, 5th Inst. Rev. J. Radford of Bel -
more presided. The attendance was
encouraging, and several spirited de-
bates added interest to the occasion.
The discussion on the report on
Chtu•eh life and work was especially
interesting, and several of the minis-
tersav their g e t herr views on special or re-
vival services. The need of more
earnest and consecrated living among
the membership was emphasized. A
report on Sabbath schools was read,
and will be discussed at the May Meet-
ing, in Luekuow. Delegates were
elected to attend the General Assem-
bly, which meets in June, in Montreal.
In the evening a lively, discussion on
Church Union was opened by Rev,
L. Perrin, and those present expressed
their opinions. The Presbytery was
divided in opinion on the question, ,
and it was not thought that organic
union was desirable at present.

THE HOWiCK PRINTING.
The Gorrie Vidette and the Ford
wich Record feel very sore because
Howick Council declined to accept
either of their tenders for the town-
ship printing and offered it to the
Wingham Advance. Mr. Sharpin, of
the Vidette, lays the blame on the
Council, and it -blame there is, that is
the place to put it. As he does not
impugn our motives, or cast any nasty
insinuations, nothing need be said in
reply. We presume the Council can
defend its own action.
Me. Watters, however, is not so
brave ; he apparently hesitates to at-
tack the Council, and lays all the
blame on the Advance, and twice in
one paragraph accuses the editor of
,Ahis paper of not being "square." This
',alis for a reply, and a few words in
self-defence. '
In 1906, members of the Howick
Council called on both offices in Wing -
ham, asking them to tender for the
printing. They did so, and although
the tender of the Advance was the
lowest (complete), the work went to
Mr. Watters at a higher price. No
one heard us grumble; rather, we said
it was all right to
t give
git to the home
office. This year the Reeve and Depu-
ty -reeve called on us and asked the
Advance to tender again. We de-
clined to do so, and Ieft the matter en-
tirely between the Council and the
Howick offices. Was there anything
"not square" in that? However, the
Connell refused all the tenders receiv-
ed, and, later, the Reeve waited on the
Advance, and in our own officecom-
missioned by the Council, neil,
he co
ntru
ct-
ed
with us for the work at a price
agreedon. Was there anything "not
square" in that? We think not, and
we challenge Mr. Watters to point out
where the crookedness lies.
Last year Mr., Watters did the work
Wr $70, and then sublet part of it.
ith our superior facilities we can do
it all ourselves, and do not expect to
lose money either.
Does Mr, Watters refuse work
brought to his office? Not likely,
Would we be justified in saying he
was "not square" if he accepted work
offered him? Certainly not.
In conclusion, we did not ask for the
printing; we did not even tender for
it. It was offered us, and we accepted
it. We intend to be "square," to do
the work well, and use good material.
Neither do we expect to have to send
part of it to Listowel either. We aro
not to blame for any action of Howick
Council. If honestly dealing with a
customer from :Howick, behind our
own counter, is in Mr. Watters opinion
"not square," his standard must be
too high for this mundane sphere. He
should don angelic wings and fly away
to some eelesti-al sphere, where wicked

Among the Club members it was sup-
posed that the great and only Frank

the bonnets several times before the
play. Paterson,as skip, had good
support from his players, that old

nnede some excellent plays. Geo. Ross
as second was always near the tee,
while W. Lepar+l could not have been

the game being terminated at the 10th
