A Correction.
In our issue of last week we
had the name of Walter Floyd
as one of the boys who had fail
ed to appear for military ser
vice.
Mr. Floyd’s name had been
certified by the district board
for military duty through an er
ror. He had been examined by
the board here and exempted
from service on account of be
ing a married man with a fam
ily, and that’s the cause for the
same appearing as it did in the
News.
It is our desire to print the
News correctly, but when er
rors occur as they did in the
case of Mr. Floyd we take
pleasure in correcting them.

Sheriff Merritt and his force

Monday night, containing in the
aggregate eighty galolns more

booze, made from corn, meal,
sugar, or some other product
known to mankind.
The contents of the kegs, etc
captured in the raid, were pour
ed out on the streetsofCumming
Tuesday in the presence of a
good size concourse of sorrow
ing friends. It was a heavy
smelling variety, and furnished
a scent for the town that will
last for a few days.
We don’t know whether this
pouring out had anything to do
with it or not, but the Board of
Education was in session at the
time and adjourned in a very
few minutes thereafter. Gus
Kennemore and Silas Pruitt
said that it had nothing to do
with it, but that the Board
completed its work and ad
journed.
