three-day variety-that's bad enough
for any one.

Through some inadvertence the To-
cal ad service for the American Ca
feteria was left out yesterday. 1t was
an error on the part of The Leader,
for which we hereby apologize. The
American Cafeteria has proved an in
novation to this city and should be en-
couraged like all good movements. 1t
fills long felt want. It's service has
been better than is usual in this line
and the management is highly deserv-
ing of the fattering patronage it is
receiving. Remember the American
Cafeteria when you are hungry.

Some misunderstanding seems to
have been the result of a request on
the part of W. c. Epps, the express
agent here, that the patrons of the
company do their shipping as early as
possible. The idea seems to have been
acquired that the time of shipment is
limited. This, however, is not the
case. 1t is only desired that ship
ments come in as early as possible in
order to avoid possible congestion and
consequent delay. The express office
will be open for the reception of goods
at all times during business hours.
There is no embargo on goods and the
express people are prepared to handle
a bigger business than ever before.

j. Il. Sheldon, general manager for
the Anclote Shipbuilding company, re-
turned last night from PHILADELPHIA.
where he had been in the interest of
his company. He reports good trip
and is encouraged over the local out
look for the company. In this con-
nection, Mr.. Sheldon feels that he was
done an injustice in yesterdays men
ton of the affairs and prospects of
the company in The Leader. This ar
tlcle carried with it the thought that
the the company, as it's personnel now
stands, has no member who would be
able to figure, from specifications, the
cost OF building ship. The statement
as made in The Leader was taken as
given US By Mr.. Noblit. We are GER
tain, however, that no reflection on
Mr.. Sheldon or anyone else was in
tended by Mr.. Noblit, and we are sure
1t was not the intention of the paper.
1t came from the president of the
company and was supposed to be au-.
thentic. Besides, we had not thought
of Mr.. Sheldon as stockholder, but
as paid manager working on salary.
The Leader is glad to make any cor
rection either for itself o. for Mr..
Noblit. We consider Nr. Sheldon fully
competent for any position he may
hold with this or any other company.
