We Are Not Immune

The editor of an exchange doesn' t
want anyone to send him any more
copies of his papers in which they
have found mistakes. If they find a
perfect copy, however he offers big
price for it. Same with US. If the
fool critic who hunts for mistakes in
the papers would find them all he
would be kept busy. We will be
pleased to buy copies of any paper
which can be proven entirely free
from errors, either Typography or in
statements of fact. We will be
pleased to find merchant w no never
made a mistake, in putting ap an Or
der; lawyer who never lost a case
through his ewn errors, a doctor who
never wrongly diagnosed a case, a
druggist who never made a mistake
post official who never put mail In
to the wrong box, a woman who
never forgot to put in the salt
while cooking or put the tea in the
teapot before putting in the water.
Bring on some of your mistakeless
paragons who find it so easy to criti-
cize the papers and we'll give them
the chance of their lives to find out
whether they are really human.

COATICOOKE
To GET The
C.P.R. RY.

Plans to extend the CP.R. to
Coaticook have been practically de-
cided upon, according to the STAN
stead Journal. The place provides
for a combination steam and electric
line from Lennoxville to Coaticooke,
via Waterville. 1t is said the Sher-
brooke Ry. and Power Co. is deeply
interested in the enterprise.
We are told that the Penman's
Coaticooke factory has an annual
freight bill of approximately $4,000
a year; and there are other large
shippers in Coaticooke. The Gale
factores in Waterville are also large
shippers, so a new line would make
quite difference in the Grand
Trunk freight business in that
district.
