We unintentionally made mistake in
our last weeks issue in stating that Col
Smith of the Junction introduced the reso-
luton in the convention recommending Capt
McNeaI as a delegate to Cincinnati. Jesse
Norment Esq. was the author of the resolu-
ton and should have been so reported. The
confusion around the Secrctary's table in
arranging the names of delegates caused the
mistake as to the author of the resolution.
The Ladies' OF the Methodist Church pro-
pose having, in the lower room of their

of money must be raised by June 10th, to
meet the church debt. The prospect Is
fattering, but they need all the help that can
be renderedtlcm. TheLadies propose furnish
ing $4,000 toward liquidating this burden
come debt. They lack about $500 yet. |
The supper, ice cream and cakes, is to aid
them in their most laudable enterprise. We
ask for them a kind patronage from all
the citizens of our town and vicinity.
