The compositor leaving out the word “not” from the item in last week’s Democrat relating to the Roeelawn-Thayer-Shelby-N e w s - Review, changed the entire meaning of the article.

Glazebrook was in town Monday, for the first time in ten weeks or since the accident in the overturning of a load of hay and the breaking of his right ankle and dislocating his left shoulder.
