when mixed up with lot of figures,
made judgment rendered against
Mn. T, E. Wikerson read, when pub
lishcd in the Beacon, twelve thous-
and, eight hundred dollars, instead
Of one hundred and twenty eight
dollars. Under ordinary, normal
conditions this would not have been
so bad, but during these strenuous
times, the difference cuts quite a fig
ure, as Mr.. Wilkerson, as well as the
balance Of US, need all the credit we
can get, without it being jeopardized
by little thing as a period. The
