Farmers in the vicinity of Alma have
for some time been talking of grist
mill for custom work. The talk cul-
minated in "a meeting at the Ely

favor of a stock company and mill of

Andrew F. Nestle, of Arcadia, who
unfortunately is cousin of the w. II.
Nestle mentioned In last week S
RECORD, called at the Office last Satur-
day and protested against being
brought in the matter. The item was
somewhat indefinite last week in that
respect and it is no more than justice
to A. f. Nestle to say that we have no
information as TO his knowing any
thing about the matter. We did not
intend that anyone should think lie
was posted.
Many laughable incidents occurred at
the polls Monday under the new
election law. In spite of the efforts O
the instructors, voters would get con
fused and then the fun began At pre-
cinct No. one level headed business
man of Alma, whose name it won't do
to mention, received his ticket and
walked into the booth TO vote. After
studying and marking for some time he
came out and walking up to the inr
structor asked if it was all right. He
was informed that he had lost his
chance and amid the laughing Of his
friends had to step back. In No.
young farmer took his ballot and
after marking it came out and wanted
another saying he had marked the
wrong ticket. A new ticket was ex-
changed for the marked che and after
marking it was voted. Not long after
he discovered that the latter was en-
tirely wrong and the rest of the day
was spent in bewailing his mistake.

State street, Saturday, January %,
