The General Commanding has directed the
Boards Of Registration to allow citizens who have
not heretofore registered, to register at time to
be fixed before the election No one is entitled to
vote who has not registered. The Reconstruction
Laws of Congress have recently been so amended
that the "do-nothing' policy, heretofore adopted,
of staying away from the polls on election days,
will no longer prevail to accomplish the objects in
tended It, therefore, becomes the duty Of all who
respect their private interests or the public welfare
to participate in the approaching elections.
