LOUISVILLE.

In several of the county papers there has ap-
peared statement to the effect that Miss White
OF Union township, was the successful contestant
in the DemOrest Silver Medal Contest held at Ep-
worth Park on July 4th. In correction we desire
to say that there has been mistake in the report,
as instead of the Miss White mentioned Miss Myra
Fravil, of this place, was awarded the medal. She
spoke from the subject, The WOmans Christian
Temperance Union" and although the entire class,
consisting of four girls and two boys, acquitted
themselves very creditably, Miss Travil's man
ner of delivery OccasiOned much favorable COM
ment among the audience. Three young ladies
from here expected to take part in the Gold Medal
Contest in the afternoon, but as it was crowded
from the program on that day, it has again been
announced to take place at BannOck on the even
ing of Saturday, July 23d.
