Notes and Comments.

Stanton takes a quarter of a COL
umn Of Nonpareil type in his last
issue in attempting to make him
self or some one else believe that
| he is O staunch advocate of temper
ance and asserts that he SIS not the
sbeer guzzler' and rum sellers de-
fender" which some people take him
to be.
When an editor feels called upon
to make such assertions and denials
as that in regard to himself, it
would seem as though he thought
there was some reason for the pub
lie to believe the contrary.
"a Bradford printer advertises to
print one thousand extra white en-.
velopes and furnish the stock for
1926, and brags about doing work
"dirt cheap" We never asked
more than that price, and now print
the same for $2.O0.-[Wells River
Riverside.
Hold on moment, Bro. Buck,
and take another look at that adj
vertisement. We do not and have
not advertised to charge 1926 per
thousand for ''extra white" envel-
opes. 1t was for ''fine quality,
heavy" envelope, and if Bro Buck
will fill our orders for that quality
that we sell at the above price, for
$500 per thousand we will give
him all the custom that comes to
our shop. We can furnish envel-
opes, printed, at s1.5O per thousand,
or for even less money, but they
are not the kind of goods we were
advertising.

Kendall's Weekly, Lebanon, says ::
"a little item attendant upon
birth in Lebanon, is that the child
when born was clad in the same
dress as its mother was at birth,
and the same one its grandmother
was when born sixty-twO years
ago."
That may be something remark
able down Lebanon way, but it'll
wouldn't be up here. In fact upl
this way children when born are
generally clad in the same dress
which Eve first wore in the garden
of Eden, and it is still considered
the best style to be born in.
