Mr.. John Vincent, of Edmund, is
still a single man, Notwithstanding
the statement made in marriage
notice in The Democrat last week
that " Mr.. and Mrs. John Vincent"

(" Mrs. Vincent " existed only in the
imagination of the wicked compos
itor who put the notice in type.
The compo5itor has been duly exc
cutcd, and anything further we can
do to atone for the wrong we have
done Mr.. Vincent, we are willing to
do, and will publish the notice of
his marriage it does occur
in The Democrat, the best news
paper in Iowa county.
