A MUCH CONGRATULATED PAPER

To have served its country and the
public in general with disinterested-
ness and zeal for sixty-one years, to
have behind it a record of stability and
integrity reaching back to the early
childhood of many of its Oldest read
ers, this is an honor not possessed by
many newspapers today, but is due to
the Montreal Witness" published by
Messrs. John Dougall & Son, Montreal.
1t must indeed be a source of gratifi-
cation to the proprietors of this paper
(Which has been in the hands of the
same family for the entire sixty-one
years., that all through the past years
its mails have been filed with letters
from all classes and conditions from
the Atlantic to the Pacific testifying
most heartily to their high regard for
the Witness" and their admiration for
its staunch adherence under all cir
cumstances to the principles for which
it has always stood.
Premiers, Judges, Lawyers, F'inan-
ciers Ministers of the Gospel of all
denominations, have expressed their
views frankly in letters that have been
published in the Witness" and have
been seen and read, and, more than
that endorsed by many thousands
throughout the Dominion. A large
number of people in the adjoining re-
pubic and Great Britain and many
of the finest men and women today
are proud to boast
Il was brought up on the Witness. )"

received by the Witness during the
past year, we give two that we no.
