We have much pleasure in stating that, following upon the interesting serial story "A Forgotten Past," we have succeeded in secur- ing the rights to publish a specially powerful new work of exciting interest, entitled THE ROGUES' SYNDICATE. The story is from the fertile pen of MR. TOM GALLON, an author whose works are already much sought after by the reading public. They include such books as "The Dead Ingleby," "DickyMonteith," "Tatterley," The Lady of the Cameo," &c. His latest and best production, THE THE ROGUES' SYNDICATE, shews, however, that the author has by no means exhausted his menage on his previous books, for our new serial is a work that will be sure to make an impression and teach a lesson to all who peruse it. We can heartily recommend our readers to read the opening chapters of THE ROGUES' SYNDICATE, which appear in the columns of the CHESHIRE OBSERVER," TO-DAY. THE ROGUES' SYNDICATE, BY MR. TOM GALLON, is a story of to-day. It is sprightly in tone, the situations of its characters are most exciting, the dialogue is strong and interesting, and on the whole our new serial story will be found most entertaining. The opening chapters of THE ROGUES' SYNDICATE, BY MR. TOM GALLON, appear in these columns TO-DAY. THE NESTON & PARKGATE HYGIENIC LAUNDRY & CLEANING COMPANY, LIMITED. LAUNDRYMKN, DI-KILS.
