We are requested to say that the
report to the effect that the West
ern Convention had been contem-
plating the purchase of the Ad0ance
office with the view of starting q
Baptist paper for Western North
Carolina and had failed is altogeth-
er without any foundation. The
owner of the AdUance Office was
asked by one man on the street,
what the office could be bought tor,
but the convention had nothing to
do with the matter whatever. There
has been therefore no failure. Its
not positively known that another
paper will be started at all.
