REMARKS ON A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.
We noticed last week a remark made in
print, by one who has a bright war record
and prides himself as being as good soldier
as there was In the late Con federate war. In
speaking of the late reinterment OF the re-
mains Of our beloved and honorable Jefferson
Davis, he said the "Davis entertainment -
We surely think this must have been "mis
print" as we cannot believe so solemn an oc
caslon as that to have been spoken OF so
slightingly, and we only mention this because
our friend may set himself right before the
people who may criticlse his remark. We be-
lieve 1t to be an error.
