THE editor of an exchange who evi- d. utly me t with a. particularly \icious type of critic, expostulates as follows: Newspaper men frequently have at- tention called to the typographical errors which sometimes get into their publications. If newspaper men knew their business these errors would never happen. The people who discover these errors tell you that much. Now if in the first place the editor gets cor- rect information and if he. writes it properly, and the compositor sets it up as he should. and if the galley hoy knows enough to take a decent proof, and the proof reader marks the correc- tions and if the printer corrects them. and the make-up gets the type in the right place, and the pressman prints them as he should. and if the press doesn’t smash a few letters ; why it cum easily be. seen how unnecessary are these tylmgapbical errors. It cer- tainly is a very easy matter to run a newspaper, and get it absolutely cor- rect. But these apt scholars, these all wise and all accurate men who are am ready to point out the errors and oven-sights of the news-paper can't tell a piece of type metal from a threshing Whine or a car wheel.

About 28 years ago he left here for Kansas, where he lived ever since. in the evi- dent enjoyment of health and pros- perity. This is his first visit to Dur- ham slm'v he left. over a quarter of a century ago, though he has been twice to the old country and once to (‘alil’ornia.

McFarlane and John Smith. all of whom still live except Mr. Hunter and Mr. Smith, and all the survivers in town except Mr. Gold. He expressed a wish to meet the brethren in lodge here on his visit, but came at the wrong time of the moon. He has been engaged in farm- ing and stock raising in the Sunflower State which he regards as one of the finest countries in the world. He lives only eight miles from Hiawatha, where he met Rev. Chas. Ryan, who is stationed there, and highly es- teemed by his congregation. He remembers the Standard which de- veloped into the CHRONICLE and was managed by \Vhite and Johnston at the time he left. He also remembers the drowning of Messrs McKinnon and Knowles about thirty or forty years ago. The two 01‘ three days Mr. Gold spent in town were very busy ones, and while in our oflice he was delighted to meet his old friend Jim Burt and engaged in a long chat over old reminiscences. Though he is now seventy-three years of age he might easily pass for fifty. GRAHAMâ€"On Wednesday Oct. 12th to Mr. and Mrs. John A. Graham- :1 MR. Abraham Gold, of Baker, Kan- sas, who used to reside here many years ago spent a day or so in town last fiveek seeing 01d acquaintances, viewing 01d sights and admiring new «mes. It is about fifty years since Mr. Gold came to this part. For about twelve or thirteen years he was en- good, and when it come to a party vote there isn’t one man in a hundred cares a fig whether the candidate's grand- mother was real scotch or not, nor yet will they be moved by sympathy on account of his misfortune in not being the happy possessor of a step-grand- mother. A LETTER from Mr. R. B. Miller, of Owen Sound, father of the Liberal Candidate appears in this issue. We stated last week our disapproval of indulgence in personalities but that wasn’t enough to satisfy Mr. Miller, and he feels disposed to charge us with the authorship of the article he refers ito. We say now we are neither, the g father, step- -father nor god- father of it, and if the personal history of the candidate has been 1n any way misre- presented by the contributor, it was simply because he was wrongly in- formed and not in any way disposed to be untrutbful. The reference to Ananias is in very bad taste, but is, common enough in meetings of the1 party to which Mr. Miller belongs. The name is indeed used with such familiarity that one might readily be- lieve there was a blood relationship. Only a few days ago Ananias and J adas lscariot were resurrected by one speak- er in the interests of A. B. Aylesworth the Candidate for Durham County.

Thousand to see our Chief Constable on duty again, and no doubt the Chief feels an equal pleasure in meeting with the boys. Mr. larson has taken up land in the West but .we are not authorized to say that he will return to the deserted land of the Bison and the Buffalo. He thinks the VVest is a great country, and were he a few years younger it is hardly likely the town would be able to keep him here. One thing certain his present salary as Chief Constable would have to be augmented or he would act on Horace Greely’s advice and go west. We are pleased to learn of the success the members of his family are meeting with out there, and that Tom is doing so well that he is now sole owner of a lucrative business and has no inten- tion of giving it up to join the Durham Lacrosse Team. Mr. and Mrs. James Carson, after spending a very pleasant time in the Northwest. arrived home Saturday night. The boys, no doubt, are glad Mr. Wm. McCulloch and his mother Mrs. McCulloch are again settled in their old home at Vickers, after spending a. couple of years at Hill- man, Michigan. They have been back several weeks, but some how or other we omitted to mention the fact. Glad to see them so Well. Rev’s. Newton and Pineo, are at~ tending the Ontario and Quebec Bap- tist Convention in Toronto. They’ll be all right as Thomas McComh and C.

He is over eighty years of age, and that he may see many more years is our earnest Wish.
