In the last issue of the Enter

der the title of Corruption Al
legged" The allegations were
made with reference to VIM
parish, whereas, by a slip of the
pen the name of Grant parish
appeared therein. Now, the Off
Gals of Grant parish were right
ly very indignant over the mat
ter, and made the long distance
telephone red hot about it. We
do not blame them one bit for
getting hot in the collar, and we
hasten to make the amende hon.
orable by correcting the matter
at once, as the charges did not
apply to Grant parish in any
sense of the word. We make
the most humble salaam to all
the exemption board at Colfax,
and assure them that we feel as
bad over the grave mistake as
they possibly. can because of the
totally unfounded charge. Err
rors will occur and we are not
infallible,. and all that we can
do is to make a sincere apology
to all of them, and ask that they
overlook an unintentional and
much regretted error. Mansfield

The Old Chronicle Office DismantIed

This issue of the Colfax Chron-
icle is printed under a consider
able handicap, in that the editor
and printers have had to move
out of the office with everything
except the engine and presses.
They have taken possession OF
the editors parlor, hallway, two
back rooms, and the biggest parl
of the front and back galleries OF
the adjoining residence where
the matter for this issue was
prepared.
On Monday. Mr.. ]. C. Taylor
with a force of workmen started
in to tear down the Office, and in
about three days tiIle had it all
dismantled except about one
fourth of the floor space, which
was left as a platform for the
newspaper and job presses, the
Office safe and paper knife. Over
the presses. etc., on this platform
a cloth tent, kindly loaned us by
Mr.. j. H. McNeely, was erected,
and the edition for this week
was printed by hand power, the
gasoline engine and all shafting
being disconnected.
1t is probable that next weeks
Chronicle will also have to be
printed with this arrangement.
In the meanwhile the foundation
for the new Chronicle office has
been laid in the middle of the
same block on which it has stood
so long, fronting on the same
street, and Contractor Taylor has
promised to have our new office
sufficiently completed for US to
move into it in a week or ten
days.
The old Chronicle Office was
completed and we moved into it
on Saturday. June "a, 1882. For
a little more than 35 years, it has
been this editors sanctum, and
it is rather upsetting to have tc
give it up for new headquarters
at this time.
However. it is a case of neces.
sity, and the move has to b.
made in self defense, in order
to escape the high rate Of
insurance caused by the close
proximity of the office and its
gasoline engine to our residence
The expense is very trying in
these hard times, and we hope

 Gov. Brough has approved the 1 wire fence act, and it has become a law.

 Now. l want the farmers who were opposed to this law to show their IoY- atty to our country and her laws, and our real manhood. to at once obey her laws, for I am sure it is best to suffer wrong than do q wrong.
 We wrote the Governor in order that Little River County might feed herself and plant large food crop that he by proclamation as war measure ask the friends of the bill and officers of the county not to enforce this law until January l. 1918 so that the farmers would not have to plant an excessive cotton crop to buy meat for another year and I hope he will see some way by which he can give us relief. In any event let us obey the law and do the friends of this bill no harm. Yours truly.
