Correction
A story in last week's edition of the Bertie Ledger-Advance
contained an error. In the story "Sheriff Holley certified as
primary victor" the name of the person challenging Adian
Bowen's candidacy was incorrectly listed. Bertie citizen
Vivian Clark contested the candidacy. The Bertie Ledger-
Advance regrets the error.
