| <tab>Only one issue of //The Maxville Advance// is known to survive, that of 16 Sept. 1910 in the Archives of Ontario. This is an issue from the period after Conners left Maxville and represents the venture of another owner. The year 1910 may have seen the last of //The Maxville Advance//. An earlier Maxville newspaper called the //Advertiser// had begun about 1904, but presumably it too was short lived and no copies at all of it are known to survive. | <tab>Only one issue of //The Maxville Advance// is known to survive, that of 16 Sept. 1910 in the Archives of Ontario.

| <tab>The Rev. George W. Conners worked for a real estate firm in Toronto after leaving Maxville. He returned to the ministry in 1916 and served first as a Baptist minister and afterwards as a Presbyterian minister till his retirement in 1939. He died at Paris, Ont. There is a good biographical sketch of the Rev. George W. Conners by his son Ibra L. Conners, “The Delta Pilot and Its Publisher, Rev. Geo. W. Conners,” published in //Families//, 18:1 (1979), with portrait. Ibra L. Conners worked for his father at the printing office in Maxville and afterwards was a plant pathologist. See the life of Rev. George W. Allen in this dictionary for another Baptist clergyman who was also a publisher at Maxville. | <tab>The Rev. George W.
