We direct the attention of our
readers to the call for meeting Of the
citizens of this town to nominate
ticket for intendant and wardens to
govern the town of Manning for the
ensuing two years. This is a very
important matter, and should not be
treated with indifference. Every per-
son that lives in the town ought or
should feel an interest in its welfare;
therefore every citizen ought TO re.
spond to this call, so that all may be
represented, and leave no room, for
persons to say that they had nothing
to do with the making up of the
ticket, and will not be bound by the
nomination. We want to see good
ticket in the field, set of men who
Will take hold Of the reins of govern
ment and conduct its affairs for th,
advancement of the town. A live
council can make a live town: 80 turn
out Friday and nominate good
ticket.
