The Ordinary MEETING of this Society will be held THIS EVENING, in, the Arcade Chambers. Subject for debate- —“ Should the land be nationalised.” - W. TOWNSfIEND, 1312 Hon. Secretary. N .EXPLANATION, - My attention has bean called to an 'advertisement headed “ A Refutation,” 'Signed 6. 0. Primmer, which appeared in your last issue. The statements put forth Are at variance with the truth. He gave me a week's notice, at the expiration of ' which date ha did not leave but continued in my employ, without an explanation, for two weeks longer, leading me to be lieve that he had repented. Ido not wish to deny Mr Priramer’s right to start in business on his own account, but I think hn acted with bad taste by inducing two of my late employees to leave my service, and to canvass my customers for their support, thereby abusing the trust I had reposed in him as Manager. 1316 C.
