A Correction
In justice to the parties concern¬
ed, we wish to state that the an¬
nouncement in Wednesday’s paper
of the marriage of Mr. C. M.
Owens and Mrs. 8. C. Cook, was
an error, as no such alliance has
been contracted. The Leader re¬
grets the occurrence exceedingly
and we were perfectly innocent in
publishing it, as our information
came from what we considered an
authoritative source.
