Remove the table from the publication, then drop it.

Have a look at this thread:- http://www.dbtalk.net/microsoft-public-sqlserver-replication/orphaned-entries-sys-objects-after-286901.html
It mentions using the following procedure after the table has been removed from replication:-
EXEC sp_MSunmarkreplinfo 'YOUR TABLE NAME';
GO

Thanks for quick response.
This table already dropped from the publication
I think this table did not dropped clearly.

This is not working for 2012
Do you know any sp for 2012

Are you still getting the same error once the table was removed from replication and the stored procedure executed?

Drop its subscription and article and re-run snapshot:
exec <your_db>.dbo.sp_dropsubscription
@publication = <publication_name>,
@article = <article_name>,
@subscriber = 'all',
@destination_db = 'all'
go
exec <your_db>.dbo.sp_droparticle
@publication = <publication_name>,
@article = <article_name>,
@force_invalidate_snapshot = 1
go
exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job 'repl_snapshot_job_name'
go
