Notice 10 inspectors of Election.

Notice TO inspectors of Election.
TO the inspectors of Election ia the several Dis
tricts Of the Kingdom:
Inquiries having been made whether persons
who are exempt from the payment Of personal
taxes by reason OF being clergymen, teachers,
pupils In High Schools, hremen, etc, or by reason
OF being over the age of sixty years, or whose
taxes have been excused by the Assessor on ac-
count Of infrmity or poverty, are allowed by law
10 vote u the election for Representatives.
tits my opinion that all such persons are enti-
tied to vote. The Tax Collector should issue to
each such person tax receipt with the words
"Qualified to Vote" upon it, which he must sign,
and in place of the amount Of taxes he must
write exempt" or Excused" On the presenta-
ton Of this Tax Receipt to the Inspectors of Eec-
ton at their sessions previous the election, the
name of the voter must be put the list Of voters
and the receipt returned TO the voter.
At the General Election to be held on the Sd OF
February, 1886, the votes OF such persons must be
received, unless challenged for other reasons

The Lime Liln Club Premium

Waydown Bebee begged leave to
annouce his willingness to PERSONAL
ly offer premium for the best song
on the close of the year, and on mo-
tion of Samuel Shin il was decided
that the club should once more try
the experiment Of encouraging color
ed poets to come to the front. It
was resolved to offer premium Of
$40 in cash for the best poem receiv-
ed up to Jan. l, and to limit all con-
testants to three verses and chorus.
With each poem sent in must be an
affidavit that the writer is colored,
and tha1he nor she did not copy any
portion of the said poem from any
published work, The points to be
considered are:
1st--Color of ink.
2st--Chirography.
3rd-Whether postage was paid
in full or not.
4th--Rhythm and meter.
As soon as the details were set
tied Whalebone Howker sent to the
secretary's desk and entered the fol-
lowing as number one:
