A Correction Corrected.
The statement in the Cambridge correspondence to the effect that James Stroud had died at the Guernsey county infirmary at Lore City, was a grevious error. Mr. Stroud died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Clinger, at Byesville, and the funeral was held at that place.--Times Recorder.
I reported the death of James Stroud myself and want to say that it was reported correct and kindly ask you to correct it again, for I don't care to have any editor to think I would report a falsehood. James Stroud was admitted to this institution Dec. 29, 1908, was taken out by his sister April 26, 1909, and was brought back again June 5, 1909, and died July 24 at 3 o'clock a. m. at the Guernsey county infirmary and was taken to Byesville by myself with the infirmary team, also the county infirmary furnished the casket in which he was buried. This is a correct statement taken from the official record on file in my office. You will please print this with my signature attached.
A. M. MERRY, Supt.
Guernsey County Infirmary,
Lore City, O., July 29, 1909.

One unusual feature occurred yesterday when two actions filed last October by a mother and a daughter were tried, the mother securing her divorce, while the daughter's case was continued. The mother was Lillie M. Phelps, and she charged Morgan M. Phelps with gross neglect of duty. She was given a decree and the custody of the children, and also alimony in the sum of $250. The costs were adjudged against the defendant. Emma J. Stroud, the daughter, sued James Stroud on the grounds of gross neglect. Attorney I. P. Humphrey represented both plaintiffs.
