The Monetary Times, one of the leading financial authorities in the country, has the following article in its last issue nailing a slander : We have â€"seen an article on ceâ€" ment appearing in the Peterboro Times of February 6th, signed, "An old Subscriber,‘‘ which, we are told, has been widely circulated in other Canaâ€" dian papers The writer evidenily had not the courage to sig: his name and certainly could not promgted by his interest in the investing public, but is apparently interested in the ceâ€" ment business, and seeks to mislead the public by a statement of untruths and malicions references to well known business men, who are connected with the cement industry at Durham, Ont. His data are not correct as to the proâ€" duction and consumption of cement in A Loxa StEr.â€"The reproach that Canadians receive most of their cable news from United States journals is beâ€" ing steadily removed., An important step in this direction is indicated by the announcement of the Montreal Daily Herald that it has in collaboration with a Toronto contemporary made arrangeâ€" ments for a daily cable service from London. An exPerienced journalist will act as the Herald‘s representative, and all eyents of importance to the Empire. and particular'lly to Canada, will be reâ€" corded daily. These despatches will cerâ€" tainly read better to Canadian eyes than those saturated with American sentiâ€" ment that too frequently appear in our Canadian papers. ‘And it came to pass that after he had advertised his goods there came unto him great maultitudes from all the regions round about and did , luy of him. And when his competitors saw it they marvelled among themselves, saying. "How be it that this man is busy while we have to loaf about our doors ?" And he spake unto them sayâ€" ing, * Verily, verily, I say unto you, in this fast age of push and rustle it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a business man to flourâ€" ish without adyvertising." The members of the junior League entertained their friends to a * pleasant hour " in the basement of the Methodist Church on Monday night consisting of a number of choruses, part songs, whistling interludes, the topic for the week by Jessie C«ton and a number of choice selections on the phonograph by W.

The room was crowded with parents and friends who were highly delighted with the efforts of the young folks. The Public Meeting on Friday evenâ€" ing is being anxiously looked for, for out of it, it is believed is to come or not to come the advice that will lead our council to municipal ownership. _ We hope all will go with an earnest desire to do what is best for the town, though it would be too much to hope that all would be of one mind.
