Last week we inserted an item clipped from the London Free Press to the effect that several Malahide firmâ€" ers had been swindled by alterations of notes given for ranges from $69 to ©690. The item was understood by some of our readers to refer to the Wrought Iron Range Company now doing business in this county with headquarters in Waterloo and to set the matter right as far as the business methods of this Company is concerned we gladly give publicity to the followâ€" ing explanation which appeared in Monday‘s Free Press : "In last Wednesday‘s issue a para graph, clipped from the St. Thomas Journal, was inserted in these columns to the effect that several Malshide farmers had been swindled to the tune of $600 each. _ The story was that they had bought stoves from travelling salesmen, giving notes for $69 there-! for, and that their notes had been raised to $690 â€" The Journal on furâ€" ther investigating the matter finds that the charges were baseless. If the stateâ€" ment was intended to apply to the Wrought Iron Range Company, of Toâ€" ronto, whose agents were working in the district referred to, there could be no possible excuse for its publication, as the notes used cannot be raisedâ€" the words "Sixtyâ€"nine Dollars" being printed in full in the centre of the notes. The FrEE PrEss regrets that it was the medium of circulating such unfounded statement, and believes that the agents of the Wrought Tron Range Company are not and have not been ‘guilty of the offence imputed to them by some unscrupulous business rival."

Hasenflug As the lenton season draws near fish in consequence are in greater demand than at any other time of the year and while they are so scarce a good many people will find it a hard matter to find any unless they come direct to Hasenflug‘s, which has been the head quarters for the last eight years for the same. This year I have been more than lucky having more fish on hand by many fold than the rest of the county put together, and while many merchants are trying their best to secure them yet, they will find their search fruitless as the market is entirely bare of pickled lake fish except what are in retailor‘s hands. 1 In one single day I caught the market at Southampton in right order and ®ought every keg, which is the biggest shipment that ever came to this town at any one time. Once the public is aware of this they will know it to their inâ€" terest to call here before going elsewhere or before giving up after they have tried elsewhere but here as I think I have enough for all. Lenton specialties by the pound or dozen; White Fish, T rout, Herring, Labrador Herring, Kippered Herring, Sea Salmon, Sea Macâ€" kerel, Marshall‘s finest selected Scotch Herring in 20 Ih kitts, Smoked Herri ng, Finnan Haddies, Siscoes Gibbed Herring and Cod Fish. .
