A CORRECTION.

Judge Bell informs us that our re-
porter was mistaken about his running
land buyers over the line and states that
only in the event of not being able to
suit them here has he ever done SO. We
are certainly glad to be correctly in

it was very foolish for him to do bust
ness here and act thus. We make the
correction with pleasure.
