"Local Matters" Column in the Richmond Dispatch
Articles from the "Local Matters" column on the front page of the Richmond Dispatch

 The Richmond Dispatch was not published on Sunday.

These articles are transcribed from copies of original newspapers at the Library of Congress and sometimes the type is blurred and all the text can't be deciphered. Every effort is made to type all the words correctly but sometimes that isn't possible and *** is used to indicate when that happens.
