Single Copy 5 Cents Correction Apology. : We are exceedingly sorry that, in our noting on Wednesday that Dr. Young had taken two of his patients to the hospital at Phila delphia, we used phraseology that might be construed as neg lect on the part of the parents of the unfortunate little Louis Swink. We simply wrote im pressions we had gotten that the limb had become stiff from some lack of application of joint exer cise that is a part of the most skilful treatment of an injured joint, without for a moment in tending our words to bear a con struction other than that of pure misfortune without fault. Our chagrin is the deeper from the fact that Mrs. Swink, whose "wifely ministrations had stood for months between her afflicted husband and the grave and that when she had seen her devotions bearing the nch fruits of resto ration this very grievous acci dent to little Louis came as a second cloud over her home, tax ing again her strength and ,hor spirits we say that our chagrin is the deeper that she should feel that our statement might lead a single' reader to doubt her due care of her child. Such " was furthest from our purpose, as it was furthest from our convic tions. TheJBakery Pays Homage. Mr. Will Johnson, proprietor of the Concord bakery, had in his show window Wednesday evening a beautiful piece of work: as a tribute to the States ville Concord baseball .game. It. was a fine cake, on the top of which were the words, "Baseball, Con cord 18. Statesville 3," also bear ing the date. The baseball as sociation here admired tit so much that they purchased it and will probably present it to their de feated opponents. So Court Yet, This is the fourth morning that, Sheriff Peck has opened court and adjourned it until next morning on account of Judge Robinson being detained at Asheboro on the big railroad case.

A two-months-old baby born with teeth was brought to the office of Dentist Mapp, in Brook lyn, recently to have its front teeth extracted so that the mother, Mrs. Christopher Quinn, of No. 444 Bushwick avenue, could nurse the child with more personal comfort to herself. Dr. Hasbrouck, a prominent dentist; says that such cases, while, rare, are not so uncommon as to cause much of a stir. ; 'Teeth in' children at birth'," said he, are usually due to some constitutional trouble of the parents. Measles and scarlet fever often cause teeth to come in an irregular way They are usually the milk teeth. Of, course, they cause the mother much annoyance, but they are easily extracted."
