In the list of deaths for 1905 in

horrified after the paper was out
and our attention called to it, to
fiod that the word "colored" had
in some unaccountable way be
come tangled up with the name
Emma K. Jones. It is not to be
wondered at that her friends
were indignant, and no one feels
more keenly the humiliation for
such a blunder than the editor.
It was purely an accident and
under the circumstances, as like
ly to have hit any other name in
the list as that of Miss Jones, and
tender to her family this apology.
