Mistake Corrected.

One day last week man came into
this Office and gave the information
as to the mule and buggy stolen from
Supervisor Chappell, mentioned IN last
issue. AS the informant is always re-
liable in the news he gives it was sup
posed he was correct as usual, but
it seems there was some mistake about
it. The Herald and News got a phone
message to correct the mistake and
to be sure to let the public know
that the mule was not caught between
the county home and the city, but that
it was caught right in the yard, and
that the spokes of only one wheel
were broken? For it is very important
wheels. The Herald and News takes
pleasure in correcting the mistake and
setting the matter straight, as there
is nothing like having everything ex
actly right. Who told Mr.. W. G. Peter
son (who told the reporter) that the
mule was caught between the city and
the home? And that all the spokes
were broken? For it very important to
to know that only one wheel was
smashed and that the mule was caught
in the yard and not in the road bet
ween the two places mentioned. 1t is
most important to the mule
to reflect that it was not in
the old and unfriendly road
that he was caught, but right
in the yard which he was not running
away from. And it is a good thing
that only one wheel suffered the awful
fate of having all spokes broken
There are all kinds of mistakes be-
