Yes, the News did make mistake;
it rather misunderstood a bit of in
formation concerning meeting of
the Ladies Aid Society. This socie-
ty did not meet two weeks ago, as
reported. The News frequently
makes mistakes; it is built that way.
That it should make one concern
ing meeting of this society it great
" regrets. But, the editor is not a
member of the Ladies Aid, and per-
haps his mistake can be overlooked
by all those members of the society
not VIGOROUSLY such for mereenary
purposes.
