Page 4 The Danbury Reporter PEPPER BROS., EDITOKS AND PI'BUBHEK*. Subscription : 3 mo., 25c.; 6 mo.) 50c; one year, SI.OO WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1910. = SSSSS=SSSS=SSS-S——BBa=i J! - J NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.—In ordering changes in address, don't forget to give former address, as well as the address to which you wish the paper sent. This will insure a prompt change. An Explanation. The Reporter regrets that in the hurry of going to press with the last issue of the paper, the report of the Walnut Cove fire should have been printed grossly but unintentionally inaccurate. Our in formation was furnished over the phone at our request by a friend in Walnut Cove, and purported to be an estimate of the losses and the insurance. The phone service being very defective, it was hard to enunciate distinctly or to understand on the wire. However, catching disconnected words and sentences, we are sure that the j information Was given us as follows : j That Joyce & Bowles' insurance was $5,000. That Davis & Whitten's insurance was SSOO. We understood our informant to say at first that the insurance on | the Joyce & Bowles building had expired, but later he added that ! some one said it had not and that it could probably be collected, i Acting on this supposition . we stated that the building was in sured for $1,500. . J The greatest error seems to be in the amount of the Joyce & Bowles stock. We asked our informant the valuation of the stock, and understood him to say $4,500. While our correspondent prob ably misunderstood our question, we are quite sure he said $4,500. | We do not for a moment believe that our informant wilfully mis stated the facts, but evidently he misunderstood us or we him. We asked him the amount of the Fulton insurance, but could not understand his reply. We only conjectured that it was covered by insurance. We did not ask our informant the Davis & Whitten losses on the i ' building. He told us that they saved all but the building, and that the insurance on building and contents was SSOO. Our statement that the building was probablv worth $200.00 was only a rough guess, as we did not recall the value of the building, and were under the impression that it was worth about $200.00, which it was. and more. The Reporter regrets that the errors occurred. We try to get 1 the facts straight before printing a news article, but it is difficult to always do this, especially when an unsatisfactory phone line is used, and when there is excitement or hurry. We trust that the blunders have been amended, and that the peculiar circumstances are understood all around. Elsewhere is j published a corrected report of the matter. All the parties concerned in the matter are valued friends and i patrons of this paper, and not only by reason of our high estima-' tion of their good will and esteem, but to set the true facts straight to our readers, this explanation was considered necessary. Mr. John C. Bailey, of Walnut Cove, was here yesterday. j Mr. Latimer B. Neal, of Ger- j manton Route 1, has entered j the A. & M. College at Raleigh. Rev. R. W. George, of Fran cisco, who is pastor of the j Presbyterian churches in the north-western part of the coun- > ty, is attending court. Mr. John Simpson, of Brown's j Warehouse, Winston, and Mr. Pete Gorrell, of Farmers', were | in town this week shaking hands! with their many farmer friends, i and talking of the new crop. The Reporter this week re ceived a pleasant call from Mr. \ J. C. Tillotson, a leading farmer j and good citizen of the King; Route 2 section. Mr. Tillotson; is one of those who try to make j at home all the produce neces sary for home use. The brick work on the bank building here, which was all finished except the parapets, was suspended Saturday until' the masons could return to • Mount Airy to look after an' urgent job there. They will; return next Monday and finish j up. In the meantime, the roof is being tinned, and the car-j penters' work will proceed. It is hoped to get back into the build ing the latter part of next week for business. 0 Dress Goods. Boyles Mercan tile Co. ' Ladies Sweaters. Boyles Mer cantile Co.
