1t had been expected that the Hamilton
Jubilee Singers would be here this week
to give their great singing and musical
entertainment on Thursday evening, but
owing to the fact that the w. c. T. o. con-

Landing. One of our citizens who has

he ever attended. 1t cannot be spoken of
too highly.

If we shall be able to show the world what |
there is here to attract the summer visitor,
we may be able to reap benefit from the
presence of tourists which will be perma-

The publisher of the local paper is always
painfully aware that errors are constantly
creeping into his local columns, and, dis
agreeable as these things may be to 9TH
ers, they trouble him more. It can be
pretty easily understood that it is difficult,
well-nigh impossible, to gather in two or
three hundred items from many sources and
all sorts of penmanship and spelling and
get them all correct A printing office is
always responsible for share of the faults.
In the hurry of getting matter into type
and on to the press,i is impossible to pre-
vent mistakes. Nothing but the greatest
care on the part of all who have I'd do with
the whole matter can reduce errors to even
a small number. *
