The TIMES has to offer its apology to some of the schools and other con tributors for having to again carry over the articles sent in for publica tion. The main reason for this is that the linotype we are using has been is service since 1913 and has had very little adjustment. It being almost Im possible to get a good linotype ma chinist to visit a small town for over hauling a machine. As a result we cannot set the amount of type with It that we need to accommodate the last minute work. It being the only machine we have we could not ship tt back to the factory for recondition ing. We are now trying to remedy 'hese conditions and have been for twelve months and hope to have them remedied in a few days.?Editor A1LU-BODDIK Invitations rending as follows have been issued: Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Perry request the honour of yonr i at the marriage of their daughter An nie Willis to Mr. Peter Stapleton Al len..
