Old newspaper printing

[gingerbit]

This is a copy taken from a 1918 Kilmarnock Standard and would really appreciate the writing in the box made as clear as possible.
Thanks

Tried but no good:

I had a go too but it wasn't worth posting, sorry

Thank you both for trying. 

The writing is fairly clear but faded in the original paper and don't want to cut it out.
Now I will type it out on a modern PC !

Probably the best thing to do . . . and keep a photocopy/scan of the original!

I didn't get very far either but most of the writing is as you say clear.

Unless you've already typed it up, you can copy and paste my 'translation' (but please check it!):

Mike and McGroger, My thanks to you both. I can now put this notice on my family tree and hope

someone will see it and add more information.

Is this any better?  You can 'auto correct' but it makes it not quite so clear.
