The Wilkinson County
History
Bi The unexpectedly large number of
family sketches arranged for at the
last minute has delayed the closing of
FRIDAY, JAN 24. 1930
the work on the history but practically
till is now in the hands of the
publisher, and the book will be ready
within the next few weeks,
Due to the heavy cost of publica
tion a limited number of copies
probably only enough to supply the
advance orders will be published.
For this reason the committee asks
that every person wanting a copy to
write the committee at once stating
that they want a copy, whether any
advance payment is made or not.
Whenever this is done a copy will be
provided. Unless tin advance order
is given the committee cannot
guarantee delivery.
The price to those who make an
advance payment of $1 00 will be
$4.00 per copy, and for those who
make no down payment the price
will be $5.00. All who want to
save SI.OO in the purchase should
take advantage of this offer.
