and voters should see that the super

carefully scratched from their tickets,
else the ballot may be thrown out.
The contest i'm some of the districts,
between the candidates for district
offices, has been spirited, but rs a mat
ter of course, the chief interest centres
in the fight between MeSsrS. COrcOran
and Hook. for the County Clerkship.
Each OF these candidates has found the
other Il foeman worthy Of his steel, and
both have been working like beavers,
ably assisted by a staff Of earnest
friends. As for Clerk Mitchell, he has
no competitor, and everybody will vote
for him for Circuit Clerk.
The returns will be received at the
Court House this evening, in the base
ment room in the northeast corner, and
il is the earnest request of the County
Committee that the ballot boxes and
tally sheets be sent in promptly on the
Of the count. The boxes and
necessary papers can be had at the Court
House at 10 o'clock this morning.
