Grafton Republicans nominate Col Stallings for legislature
Tucker county Republicans have nominated Col. Bob Stallings for the lower house, after his prior bid for the state senatorship in the fourteenth district ended in a hot Preston county campaign. Stallings is popular locally and expected to be a leading member of the next legislature. The paper also notes weak interest in a post office site, with bids unlikely and prices for suitable land far above ten thousand dollars, urging farmers to sell ground outside city limits. Also listed are fruit wagon arrivals at the Old Depot and two small house listings with cash-friendly prices.
