CABLE, April 16-Our village election
took place Tuesday, and everything went
off quietly The following is the result:
Citizens Ticket; For trustees, c.
Schwarz, SO, Thos. Mills, 81, Peter Nc
Gomyle, Al police magistrate, Ben Higgs,
81; town clerk, w. W. Williamson, GO.
Anti License: For trustees, John Eos
ter, 6S. A. L. Wray, 50, W. Schroeder, 80 !;
police magistrate, P. NJ. Brown, Ga; town
clerk, Jas. Sexton, So.
The men who supported the citizens
ticket were sadly disappointed to see how
our Young men voted. Much credit is due
the young men of our village, as to the
noble work done, hoping they will see III
near future the good results.
A few of our citizens were somewhat
vexed at statistics which were procured
village during six months, with saloons,
and showing the same without saloons.
This was not done to have any bitter
feeling on either side, but merely to show
to those who know nothing of the guam
tity shipped, the difference of having
saloons or no saloons. As the statistics
were shown l will just state here the
amount of beer shipped the first six
months of 1888, without saloons, and the
amount shipped the last six month with
saloons:
