XEBTIA cmZBNS PROTEST
We, fellow citlaens ot Xenia, good Republican and Democratic voters of Clay county, feel that our bootleg- xers for tbe same offenses are not getting a square deal In tbe courts ot Clay county. Citisens trom Flora and otber parts of the county get off with a Uttle flne, while our friends have to pay a flne and serve from six  months to a year  In   the
cations of streets, community organ¬ isations, churches, schools, officials, ets.    Also a  business  directory.
Wa trust the people of Flora will appreciate tbe book. We printed enough to supply the demand and if you have not ordered yours, coms In, look over the directory, and If you like it, buy one.
We are Indebted to many sources for information and thank thoae who thus assisted in helping make the directory as near perfect as It is.
The business men wbo advertised made the publication possible, tor we could not have paid expenses and relied alone oo the sale of tbe books. Tbose whose ads appear In- the direc¬ tory are as follows:
