By an act Of the General Assem-
bly,, passed at its last session, it is
made the duty of the County Court
of each county, at the term before the
August election of this year. to ap-
point tellers in each election district
to ascertain and report the number OF
qualified voters at that election. The
information thus furnished is to be
used in determining the result of the
voting on the question Of calling a
Constitutional Convention, and 1t is,
therefore. very important matter,
and one which should not be neglected
by any of the officials having duties
to perform in connection with it. AS
the term at which the appointment Of
tellers is required to be made will be
held next month, we deem it not i'm
pertinent nor amiss TO call the atten'
ton of County Judges to this matter,
though it is but just TO say that the
Judge of our county needs no such
reminder, it being his purpose to COM
ply with the law at the proper time.

The soft peach on her cheeks
That blue-bells looking at her eyes
Would hang their heads for weeks.
But she-she only laughs and says:
"Ah, that was long ago!
Ny hair nothing need envy now
Except the drifting snow.
The peach blossoms and the blue-bells
Have long since smiled away
The silly fear they may have had
In some past summer day."
And II think her lovelier
Than any flower that grows;
And when look into her eyes
Ifancy that she knows
Her ssweet age is more beautiful
Than fairest youth could be,
Though when tell her what think,
She only laughs at me.
