Error Corrected
Thirteen cents is the price of
Druid L. L Sheeting at the well
filled store of Mr. B H. Fudge:
but in setting hie “ad’ the typ*
setter picked up a 2 instead of a 1;
and both this week and last, the
price quoted in the “ad” was 23cts,
when it should have read 13cte.
The popular merchant regrets
this mistake, since this useful ma
terial was to be sold ai actual cost;
but he doesn’t regret the error as
much as The Liberal force does,
because it was in the office oi the
paper that it occurred.
