A NEW PAPER 

No Clue Has Been Secured to the Franklin Postoffice Robbery. 

  FRANKLIN, VA., May 5. - Special - The Graphic, a weekly three-column 
newspaper, managed by W.A. Magee, made its first appearance on May 4th. 
It is a small sheet, but well-gotten up, and contains much that is of 
local interest. 

  Nothing has been heard of the postoffice robbers.  Three suspicious 
characters were seen the morning at the robbery hurrying towards Suffolk, 
and it is supposed they took the Norfolk and Western "Cannon Ball" for 
Norfolk.


"The Times" (Richmond, VA), Vol. 15, No. 74, May 6, 1900, p. 5, col. 5 

Additional information: 

"The Graphic" was the forerunner of "The Tidewater News." 

Founder Jeremiah Peter HOLLAND, III, d. 4 Nov 1957, Norfolk, age 90.
