The worthy people of the historic
town of Newark, Nottingham, Eng
land, have lately been much exercise.,
in their minds regarding the selection
of a motto to go with the borough
arms. T'ltimately it was decided that
the motto of the town should be the
nisto' ;e remark made by Major Smith
in 1 4, "Trust God and Sally.”
it was in that year when Newark
was surrendered to the Scottish army
after sustaining three sieges during
the civil war. and the remark was
made to Lord Ilellavse when the for
tunes of King Charles I were at the
lowest ebb. The word "sally.” of
course, as used in Newark’s motto,
means to rush forth, leap out, or issue
sudden)^
