No DRAFT IN BRADFoRD-Several o
our State exchanges as well as the Spring
field Republican, Boston Journal etc hav
made the statement that among Othe
towns there had been drafting in Bradford
Nothing could be farther from the fact ant
we call upon all who have made the state
ment to deny it in their next issue. On
the contrary we have furnished eight Owe

Please retract we editors who have miSrep
resented us.
