4 new weekly paper published by
us, edited by J. Durham Wat
- son, will be more than a local
paper. In the Progressive Democrat
the Hon. ThOs. E. Watson and his son
will deal with State topics. Each
week Mr.. Watson will contribute
articles on the political situa-
ton in the State, and in this way the
Progressive Democrat will become the
State organ of The Jeffersonians,
while The JeffersOnian itself will be
the national organ. All of Mr.. Wat
sons articles in The JeffersOnian
will deal with subjects of national
interest. The subscription price of
the Progressive Democrat is only so
cents year. 1t will be the liveliest,
most up-to-date paper in the Stat.

himself at the warden's table.
Doyle came close to the old man.
There's one thing you want to do,
Bill, above everything else-keep out

Avery hesitated. He glanced from
the detective across to the warden.

He sent out word that''-the question

Avery drew back involuntarily.
"He didn't give ME any message"

and became directed to the floor.

detective.
Tke released criminal brushed aside
the invitation. He rose stiftly from
his chair.
