BRADFORD ELENTION CONTEST
ED .-The Republican party in this
town contest the election OF Barron
Hay, for Town Representative, ana
of the Justices of the Peace. MI
Hay had only one majority, ana
there were only two scattering votes.
We claim that there was iliegality
in the making up of the check list,
bv which half n dozen republican
voters we're denied the privilege of
voting, and think if a fair registra
ton of the voters in this town had
been made, Mr.. Stevens would have
been elected as Representative by
more than one majority. The ties
timony is to be taken at the Town
Hall on Friday of this week.
The Republicans of Corinth also
contest the election in that town.
The testimony will be taken on Fri
day.

Ga scholars in atterdance, i of

We are gratiiied to know that the

ance of scholars. and with pros
pect of being very profitable and
successful. We hope that, under
the management Of the new Prin-
cipal, Mr.. J. w. Palmer, the school
may be soprosperouS as to silence
all opposition to Che graded schQ0l
system.
