The item originated in the Owen Sound Advertiser, and was a reâ€"! print from the .files of that paperi Of sixty years ago.

We copied it from the Meaford Mirror. which evident- Iv copied it from the Advertiserl without giving ,credit. Mistakes may occur, and will occur at times, but the wholesale stealing by one local paper from another can never 11 be justified, according to our way 1‘ of thinking. We do not know that I the Mirror is in the habit of do- 1] ing this sort of thing as a rule. but there are many of the local, papers who are cold-blooded: thieves, with very few original ar- ticles of any kind If the Mirror had said “From the Owen Sound Advertiser of sixty years ago,”id many of the local papers, and The a Chronicle amongst them, wouldu have escaped the error into which'nn they had fallen Honesty in. locallp journalism should be the rule, and!i 0: we are glad to believe that most of b them try to be honest, but unfor- "I fi 't: in CEMENT DUTIES REDUCED IHE DURHAM CHRONICLE AN ERROR.
