CORRECTIONAL correspondent advises us
that we made mistake in saying that Hood !
Mills belong 10 Major c. W. Hood. This
property belongs to Messrs. McComas, who
purchased il of Thos. X. Dorsey in 1867. for
the sum of $4,000. Another mistake was
made in giving the capacity of the saw, mill
at 1900 to 10000 feet per day; it should
have been 1900 to 1000.
