0hcistiangted, St. Greix,
Wednesday, 26th February, 1908.

The Government has some time ago made
known by an official publication in these CO.
Iumns and later by placards in various places,
that the old colonial money, hitherto in cir
culatlon in the Danish West Indies, will cease
to Ee legal tender after the 3Ist March.
AS most Of us are apt to overlook such
matters, it may perhaps be worth while to
remind our readers that the time is not far
off when the old silver coins GO cents, 10
cents, 5 cents and three cents) as we'll as the
old copper cent pieces, will no longer be of
any use.
It would be a kindness to persons who do
not, or cannot, read the news, if their more
enlightened friends would tell them about
this, so that they may not later find them
selves embarrassed by the possession of some
of these coins, which may now be changed
for their full value at the National Bank, but
after the 31st of March will, be refused.
His Excellency Governor Cold left per the
SIS. st. Thomas for Denmark on Friday after
noon. The Vice Governor and Mrs. Limp
RIGHT arrived here from st. Thomas by the
Viking yesterday evening.
Mrs. Cold and family will spend some
weeks i'll st. Croix before leaving for Den
mark.

is due at Frederiksted at 6 o'clock to-mor-.
row morning the 9th inst, not calling at

The S. s. Parma will leave New York on
