The widow who advertised in the same column took replies through a box at the Union. J. B. Coleman signed his name, gave his street address, and invited women to write or to come and see him. Three months later, the same paper carried J. J. Reid’s search for the party who rode to the depot on a New Era motorcycle, also signed with a full name.

Transcribed from the page image and checked against the original; spelling and punctuation are as printed, and words broken across lines are rejoined. Capital letters are also as printed: papers set the first line of each ad in capitals, so the capitals stop wherever that line ended, sometimes in the middle of a word.
