 A grievious mistake was commit ted by Mir. J. M. Nichols at Dickey & Bells cotton gin few days ago. Mir. 4 Nichols had two bales of cotton at the gin, and going after them he found one of his bales on top of another bale and supposing the bottom one was his also he brought them both to Russellville and sold them. The bottom bale be- to Mir. J. II. Poe, and that gentleman, after tracing up the bale informed Mir. Nichols of what he had done. Full reparation was made by refunding to Mir. Poe all the money received for the cotton, together with pay for the time spent in tracing up the missing bale. Itwas an embarrassing mistake for Mir. Nichols, but he made all the reparation in his power.
