applied to Mayor Peay for information

Mayor Peay very quickly disposed of
her case. He sent her 10 the Driver House
and te'egraphed 10 one or two points TO
lind where Mrs. keyser lives. He will
send her on 10 Raleigh in the morning
She is a good woman, no doubt, and
Mayor Pcay did the proper, kind and
just thing.
