vote in the city of Staunton. Where q
voter moves from the county of Augusta,
into the city OF Staunton, the three months
residence is not necessary to enable him to
vote. because the city OF StauntOn has no
political representation in the State, sep
arate and apart from the county OF Au-
yusta. The Senator and members OF the
House of Delegates are elected by the joint
yo,e of the city and county. Consequent

cerned. the removal from the county to
the CITY. or from the city to the country,

ton district to another, in the same coun-
ty. Ii Stanton had a separate repreSen.S
tat;on in the General Assembly, the case
would be otherwise.
regret the delay of this answer, but it
was unavoidable. Hope no inconvenience
has resulted or will result from it.

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED BY VOTERS
If you have changed your residence in
city from one ward to another you los
your vote unless you 60 to the register o
your old ward and get your transfer tt
your new ward. See to this, for many vo
ters IN Staunton last fall were disfran
chised through their own neglect of thi
matter. If you have moved from tn
county to the city, or vice versa, get you
transfer. If you came Of age on or sine
the LIST Of February, 1879, you must hun
up your assessor and get him to assess you
so you can pay the capitation tax Of tina
year, or you cannot vote.
