Mr.. j. A. Prewitt desires us 10 say that our
correspondent, "a Member Of the Business
Association" did him injustice in giving Mr..
Charles Mitchell all the credit for working
the Wellington road, as Mr.. Prewitt's district
extends from near the city limits to the
Sand Banks, and as he worked that part of
the road ten days before Mr.. Mitchell work.
ed his. We are satisfied that our correspon-
did not intentionally slight Mr.. Prewitt,
and only wrote as he did because Mr.. Mitch
ell has the greater portion of the road, and
he desired to give him credit for what he
deemed to be good work. We are glad to
say, that all three of the overseers on that
road, Messrs. Mccormack, Prewitt and
have done good work this fall, and
that, as a consequence. the road is in better
condition than 1t has been since the railroad
has occupied the bottom.
