Alexandra, Va, July H.-Hard times
are ahead for those persons hereafter
convicted Of violating the State pro-
hibition laws. Heretofore such per-
sons were fined $50 and given a months
jan sentence. The fine, however. was
never collected. when they served the
Jail sentence. Now such persons will
either have to pay the fine or spend
three additional months in jail, which
would make four months for viola
tion. This, therefore. would mean that
such persons would be subject 10 the
State road force.
Such persons may also have to give
a bond Of 500 for their future good
behavior for a year.
