The substitute editor OF the HERALD
AND NEWS must feel highly complimented
to have the editor and proprietor OF the
sheet apologize for her work at the head
of the local columns, as happened last
week in the absence of Miss White in
Woodstock Argus. Ii would not only
be perfectly excusable but highly proper
for the editor OF the Argus TO head the 10.
cal columns of his paper with stereotyped
J apologies. The notice referred to in the
above was not intended as an apology
nor was ii understood to be one, except
! by the Argus; and certainly nothing o.
! the kind was in order. for the "substitut,
editor" Miss Name Connolly, collected q
large amount of local news and, what il
more to the purpose, gave it to the public
! in an attractive and readable form. "Ih'
editor and proprietor" of the HERALI
/ was merely giving credit where credit
J was due.
