OF busy men, giving their time and best

steadily on with increasing prosperity and

due that we should take credit for saving to

An Error Corrected. Last week upon
the information of gentleman interested in
the matter, for which reason we never sup
posed for moment his information incorrect,
we stated that the County Commissioners by
request of the School Commissioners refused
TO levy eight mills in the hundred dollars that
the schools might be kept open for the rest OF
the scholastic year. To this error our atlen-
ton has been called by the Commissioners, and
we are glad to have the opportunity to make
the correction to remove the erroneous impress
sion from the minds of the Commissioners
constituents. The amount asked TO be levied
was 81, 00c; 10 raise this amount on the as
sessed property of the county taxes would
have been increased eight cents and a fraction
on the hundred dollars for the school fund
instead of eight mills.
