CORRECTION
It appears from our report of the drawing that Will Day drew the wagon.
George Crayford subscribed for the REVIEW for his brother-in-law Day
and paid the subscription himself but forgot to have his own name put on
the premium list and until better informed we supposed Will Day was
entitled to the premium. We have been notified by Mr. Crayford that he
claims the wagon. We know he paid us the dollar for the paper.Typed as written in the paper.
