The publication of an item in last
weeks REPUBLICAN relating to the
Chinese laundry was a grievous error
and the source of our information in
the matter proved wholly unreliable.
The laundry has not suspended bust
ness, but still holds forth at the old
stand, where the proprietors are ready
and anxious to serve their customers
as heretofore Their absence from
the city day or so last week led tc
the false report as published. We
cheerfully amend the wroD~ impress
sion gained by our previous item.
