Cit 10
One might imagine oy reading an item
in last weeks BEE that the members of
the A. o. U. W. needed an officer of the
law about, as the paragraph noted that
DR. Curtiss of Cornwall Bridge, "district
sheriff paid an fficial visit to New Mil
ford LODGE" etc. But such is not the
case. The members of the A. 0. U. W.
are peaceable and a good set of fellows,
and DR. Curtiss, popular physician OF
Cornwall, has not become sheriff yet.
So THE BEE regrets the typographical
error and hopes the A. o. u. W. will 60
on and prosper.
