COTTAGE GROVE LEADER.
Several prominent citizens have
called on the Leader lately and
pledged from $1 to $5 on our re
ward offer for evidence which will
lead to conviction of violators of
the local option law in this city.
| We hope to lie able to increase
this reward from $25 to $50 iu a
short time.
iug them to greater efforts aud
achievements in the upbuilding of
Cottage Grove and community.
