Elder W. notifies us that the story or
report of his selling hogs TO Bush, was false.
He says the facts of the case are, that he
went TO G. A. Bush and sold him some pota-
toes TO be delivered when Geo. shipped, and
that he received some money on them and
that, as it appears, Bush was interested in
hogs just at that time and had hogs on the
brain, and 80 entered the Elders potatoes on
his memorandum book as hogs. We cheer
fully make this correction, as we said to Mr.
Bush at the time that il seemed impossible
that Elder w. would be guilty of doing such
an act. We hope he will accept our apology,
rs we were the innocent means of circulating
the report.
