Old signs, like old portraits, bring back memories of the long ago. Before the present shortage of buildings became so acute In Richmond, old signs, advertising products manufactured years ago, were a common sight, but are few and far between today.
Perhaps the saddest of the few re
maining is the sign of the Minck Brewing company on Main, near the bridge. Former imbibers sigh with regret.
About 50 feet east of Ninth on Sailor street, is a building now oc
cupied by an automobile repair shop. Years ago this was the largest and
most popular blacksmith shop In town.
The sign: "T. B. Butler, Shoeing and Repair Forge," is faintly discernible beneath the coat of gray paint that was used to painti the building. Peter Johnson formerly was one of the leading hardware dealers In town, being located on Main street In rooms now occupied by a photography shop and cigar store. With the building of the large bank on the corner of Eighth and Main streets, Johnson moved his place of business to a room now occupied by, a flower shop. He continued in business at this location for a few " years, recently retiring.
Large letters, advertising his mechan-
dise, are still painted on the building.-;
Westcott Sign Seen. -. On the outside wall of a building
occupied by the Davis Motor company, at Twelfth and North E streets, a
sign in large letters advertising West
cott carriages, buggies and phaetons, is still discemable, although the pres
ent owners have their name printed on top.
At the . corner of Ninth and Main streets, on the side of the building
now occupied by the Light, Heat and Power company, a sign advertising a
People s Store, can be read, although covered with black paint.
On South Eighth street, on the side
of a building now occupied by a bar
ber shop, at the top of the three-story
building, can be read the following advertisement, H. H. Fetta, Real Estate and Money Loaned. H. H. Fetta has been dead for a number of years, yet the monument to his memory is easily discerned. Signs are scattered throughout the country advertising the Railroad Store. This firm went out of business last spring. Advertisements of patent medicines, cigars, chewing tobacco and gum, hair restorers and other products popular years ago, but which have ceased to exist, are plentiful along the roads of Wayne county.
An order against the defendant for $30 attorney fees, $15 of which Is to
be paid before Jan. 17, and the balance before Jan. 24th was made in the divorce suit of Iva White against Roy White. Final naturalization papers were granted Harry Wlesehahn and Liugi Paollni by the court. MARRIAGE LICENSES I Charles D. Scott, postal clerk, Dublin, to Elva M. Wllkins. at home, Dublin. Glen R.

Campbell Morgan, pastor of Westminster chapel, London, now visiting in Syracuse. . "Whenever a great country banishes strong drink it must prepare for a

Whenever London goes dry, her east end will arise." Commenting on prohibition in the United States, Dr. Morgan said: "It will be wonderful when the country is entirely dry and adjusteTto it, but it will be
some time before you get settled down." . '
