Nothing beats the speed of gossip, and apparently the Virginia Gazette on this day had plenty of it to share.

A few of the stories were quite serious, relating to events in both Virginia and Massachusetts. They closed out with a local story that had a more humorous edge to it…though it’s likely that the people involved had a hard time seeing the humor in it all.

PS Why is there a picture of a fish in today’s cover art? Well…mullet over a little and see if it comes to you.
