OFFICE OF BOARD OF REGISTRATION, !

To the Voters Of Ohio County:
The undersigned having been APP
pointed the Board of Registration for
Ohio county, under an act entitled an
Act to regulate the registration of
voters, passed by the Legislature OF
this State mt its last session, being de-
sirous of carrying out the law faithful
ly and impartially, and of giving to
every citizen who is qualified voter
under the existing laws, an opportunt-
ty of having his name registered, deem
Il to
voters of the county.
a Registrar for each Township has
been appointed and commissioned to
register the qualified voters of his
Township, which registration must be
completed by the 10th day of May next.
1t must be apparent to all that the
time is short, and that without the CO.
operation of the voters, il will be al
most impossible to complete the regis
tration within the time prescribed by
law. We ask, therefore, for thel Regis
trars assistance and cooperation OF all
good citizens without regard to party,
SO that the work may not be retarded.
AS soon after the LIST of April as pos
sible, the Registrars will enter upon
the discharge of their duties, by calling
on the citizens Mt their homes or places
of business, or by meeting them by APP
pointment Mt some given place in the
Township, notice ofwhich will be given,
or, by both, as the Registrars may deem
best suited for the convenience of the
voters. Ha
That citizens may know tOhO are quail
flied UoterS and that persons desiring to
be registered may be prepared to salts
fy the Registrar without delay, we
submit the following:
All white male citizens of the State
except persons of unsound mind, pau
pers, and persons under conviction of
treason, felony, or bribery in an cleo
tion-who have been residents of tho
State for one year, and of the county
thirty daySsneXt preceding the election
to be held on the 24th day of May next,
and are residents of the township, and
who have attained the age of twenty
one years, or shall attain such age at
the time of holding such election; and
if foreign-born have been naturalized,
are entitled to be registered; Provided
however that they shall take and sub
scribe to the affidavit contained in the
third section of the act referred to if
required to do so by the Registrar; but
persons presenting an honorable dis
charge from the United States military
service are not required to take and
subscribe such affidavit.
Foreign-born citizens qualified as
aforesaid, must produce and exhibit to
the Registrar their naturalization pa
perS for his examination, to be endorsed
BY him with the date of their exhibit
ton, or, in case their papers have been
lost or mislaid, they will be required
to prove to his satisfaction that they
have been naturalized, the best evidence
being the certificate of the court issu-
ing the papers, which can be obtained
in short time upon proper applica-
ton.
Any person feeling aggrieved or dis
satisfied with the action or decision OF
any Registrar, may appeal to the Board,
and have the action or decision of such
