TO his house early in the evening, taking
him completely by surprise and almost
overwhelming him with the commit

many returns of the same. We need
not say that Mr.. Collins was more than
pleased with this expression of good

1t is SAID that n some towns in this county
il has been the practice in the past to hold the
annual town meetings or elections in the pre-
ciucts provided by the county board for gen
eral elections. II so, this practice should be
discontinued, as elections thus held are null
aud void. The proper way TO do when add
tional ballot boxes are needed Is TO get a
proper order from tue county board. Other
wise the town election should be held IN only
one place, and that should be the place fixed
by tie electors ut the annual town meeting.
Mucn OF the misunderstanding IN reference
to this matter arises from failure to distin-
guish the difference between town meeting
and general election. \ town meeting Is
for the purpose of electing town officers and
the transaction of town business, while the
general election is for the purpose OF electlng
county and state officers and members of con
gress. 4 town meeting is presided over by a
moderator, selected by the electors, while 4
general election Is held by the judges OF cleo
