            TIMES SKIPS ISSUES WITHOUT NOTICE

By Edwy ap Edwin, Staff Writer
      RINDGE  - In  an unprecedented action,  the TMS  Times
failed to  print  five  issues, Saturday,  Nov.  4,  through
Thursday, Nov, 9.   In the  past, the Times  has not  missed
more than  three  issues at  a  time without  informing  its
readers in advance.
       One Times official  said the  paper's management  was
seriously contemplating bankruptcy, especially after hearing
rumors of a phone  bill of over $20  for one of the  paper's
reporters.  However, when the  phone bill was found, it  was
only $2.85, and the paper  is now planning to publish  daily
(except Sundays) until the end of the trimester.

        VIRGINIA ELECTS FIRST BLACK GOVERNOR IN U.S.
           Republican candidate calls for recount

By I.M. Cydyng, Staff Writer
       According  to the  unofficial results  of  Virginia's
recent  gubernatorial  elections,  Democratic  candidate  L.
Douglas Wilder won the race by about 5,500 votes.
     Coleman,  the Republican incumbent, refuses to  concede
the race.   In  a  recent press  conference, he  said,  "The
people are entitled to a complete and accurate tally  before
a winner is declared."   This process could last until  some
time in December.   According to  George Gastil, a  recount,
even in a large state  like Virginia, could not account  for
as many  as  5,000 votes,  and  Wilder will  still  win  the
election.
