Just as we were ready to c put the paper on the press, how-1 a ever, our pressman was called to j s the bedside of his dying father, j Wednesday and Thursday, by dint I of constant "tiukering" we got b the engine going long enough t? b print the paper off. which was f really beyond our most sanguine jb expectations. ir Saturdav the editc was taken jv 4 ; sick and up to t<x y (Thurs-ja day) is still painfull: ill and uii 1 able to be out. ! ? Monday we had a lot of belated <1 job work ready to run off for im- r patient customers, when all the|r gasoline in town gave out all at a once. It seems that the gasoline ^ had t>ee:i ordered ten days betore 1 by three different parties and all three shipments failed to materi- ^ alize. a Monday night our pressmau's P father died, leaving us necessarily c short of help. p Many more minor mishaps might * be added, but the foregoing is it enough to show that the editor of P 11 a country weekly does not pursue a a primrose bordered pathway ^ the time and sorely when errors and short comings are apparent p harsh criticism might sometimes I be withheld. Most of us?even a newspaper editors?put forth the. t best product possible, circum- r stances considered, and seeming in- [ difference or negligence is far more frequently the result of difficulties of which the public knows nothing rather than indolence or lack of attention to business.

MISSION RALLY DAT I Will be Observed at Indiantown Presbyterian Church?Prominent Speakers.

Kev L C Vass, who has but recently returned froni the Congo country 111 Africa, is also expected to be present and speak. He tells in a very entertaining way of the work out in the dark continent where l)rs Morrison and Sheppard, so recently prosecuted and persecuted by the Kas3ai Kubber ('0, were his co-laborers. Capt W C Davis, representing the layman's missionary movement, who made a telling address at the recent meetiug of Harmony presbytery, has been iuvited to speak upon thisjjreat movemeut and it is understood he has accepted the invitation. These three capable, experienced and magnetic speakers appealing upon the same piacrorm in oue uav, assure a programme, not only of surpassing importance and intense interest, but also one that will arouse and stimulate. 6 The musical part of the programme will not be forgotten. The large membership of the church will come with well filled baskets to provide a picnic dinner, and they give a cordial invitation to their friends to come and unite with them on that day.
