We ask forbearance for the limited amount of reading matter on this page,
but the advertisements must appear. We are not running this paper exactly
for glory, anyway.



Mr. Alex McNair, of Brookhaven, was in town this and last week to and from
Williamsburg, where he went to attend Court. He was dissapointed, however,
as there was no Court in Covington - time changed.

Those who have the prohibition petitions we sent them, asking the
Legislature to pass an act prohibiting the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors in the entire State, will please send them to the
editor of this paper by the 20th. Women can sign as well as men. So let
every mand woman to whom the petition is presented sign, and those that don'
t have one presented to them can most certainly have an opportunity of
registering themselves against the "speret's" by calling at this office. If
you are a friend to prohibition you'll sign it.
