VANN MISTAKEN ** IN MITCHELL HOME In our last week's issue, an article appeared stating that the home of C. H. Mitchell was being moved from its present location, to make room for a handsome new residence. Mr: T. E. Vann, of Como, in his sfrticle to the HERALD this week laments the moving of the old home, which he has mistaken for the old Doctor J. H. Mitchell home, across the street. For the information of Mr. 'Vann, we take this opportunity to correct the impression he has gained. It is not the J. H. Mitchell home that is being moved; it is his son's residence. The HERALD also thanks Mr. Vann for his words of appreciation, and assures him that those in charge expect to continualy strive to make it a real county newspaper.
