The Journal Per Tour 12 Advanse announces editorials and letters from Major Jas. N. Stubbs and L. C. Gar. It notes a defense to criticism of Mr. Gar and ongoing debates about Judge Kiann. Limited space restricts further discussion this week.
In a partisan call aligned with the Democratic campaign, the editorial endorses J. T. Christian as the best candidate to represent Mathews and Middlesex in the Virginia House of Delegates. It urges every eligible voter to examine the candidates’ abilities and records before casting ballots on the upcoming election day.
A Virginia letter favors Judge William Hodges Mann for governor in the upcoming August primary. The author touts Mann as a true Democrat, Confederate veteran, and reformer of temperance measures, arguing his legislative experience and devotion to Virginians will drive progress and unity. If Mann is not nominated, the writer pledges support to Tucker.

A reader urges space to critique the Mann explanation of his Readjuster era loyalties, arguing the letters and statements from 1880 to 1883 contradict his later stump rhetoric and nomination stance. The letter questions whether Mann truly supported Readjusters or misled them, urging publication of opposing views to balance editorial coverage.
Fragmentary OCR text lists rooms and meals with prices and a local address style notice. It mentions tea rooms and bath services and appears to be a small hotel or boarding house advertisement with sparse readable facts. The readable entities include a town-like fragment and a namesales style line.
