Excerpted from the Beacon Flashes column:

In speaking of the arrest made in this town on Thursday evening of last week by Mr. T.M. REDDICK, we said that he was the Sheriff of Perquimans county, but since we learn that such is not true.  Said REDDICK holds no office, and in justice to the Sheriff of Perquimans we make this correction.
