| are:
No person can vote unless regis
| tered.
Each person offering to register
must give his name, the street and
| number of his residence, his ward
and such other Information necessary
to establish his right to registration.
| If his residence lie not numbered he
| must describe it so it can be located.
Such designation as "rOck quarry"
wont go.
All that the county commissioners
have to do Is to appoint registrar,
who shall hold his office for two years,
supply him with an Office, books, etc :,
ard pay him for his services at the
rate of s cents for each certificate
issued. The registrar attends TO rest
of the business of registration as d.
rected in the law.
The registrar has power to op.
point all the deputies ne may require,
and he must. If demanded, appoint
one from each political party.
Every male person, 81 years old,
and q qualified elector, and bona
fite citizen OF the city can register.

ticular the law is quite complete.
Following the registration pro.
visions the method of voting is pro-
vided for, resem Dling in most partic.
ulsrs the so.called Australian ballot
law. To carry out this part Of the
law the county JUICE, sheriff and eoun-
ty clerk are constituted q board to
provide the voting booths and guard
rails for the polls. The judges and
clerks of election do the rest of the
business.
The form Of the tickets seems to be
the only indefinite thing in the law.
All ballots used by the voters must
be furnished by the officers of the
election. In other words the voter
gets his ticket from the judge Of cleo
ton, and can't bring one in his pocket
already fixed up by Mr.. Election
Boss. The ticket must have the
names of all the candidates on it, ar
rsog ed according to the respective
parties. This, 1t Is contended, means
that each ticket will have three or
more headings.
Should the ticket be arranged so as
to contain each party ticket by itself
it will help the voters who Will be
instructed by the bosses how to vote.
The form of ticket must be decided
on.

Thank sgiying Day.



The gifts of God to our people during the
past year have been abundant and so spec
ial that the spirit of deyout Thanksgiving
awaits, not a call. but only the appointment
of day when it may have IA common express
sion. He has stayed the pestilence at our
door: He has given us more love for the free
civil institutions in the creation of which His
directing providence vas so conspicuous;
He has awakened n deeper reverence for law;
He has wdened our philanthropy by call to
succor the distress in other lands He has
blessed our schools and is bringing forward
patriotic and God-fearing generation to exc
cute II is great and benevolent designs for
car country; He has given us great increase
in material wealth and in the diffusion Of
eontentment and comfort in the homes OF
our people, He has given His grace to the
sorrowing.
Wherefore, /, Benjamin Harrison, President
of the United States, do call upon all our peo-
pie to observe, as we have been wont, Thurs
day, the oath day of this month of November,
as a day of Thanksgiving to God for his mer-
cies, and of suppication for His continued
care and grace
In testimony whereof l have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal OF the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this fourth
day of November, one thousand eight hun
dred and ninety-two, and of the independ-
ence of the United States the one hundred

The Old Meeting House.

of the building of the Baptist Meeting

esting that it occurred to me that some
further notes might be acceptable.

from personal knowledge or what heard

corrected his mistake as to tile location
Of the old wooden building. but il must be
Il wonder to many why it should have been
located where it was. When the church

miles below the village, leaving only one,
Meribah Ireland, who lived on the middle
road. Nine years later. When the house
Was built, there were others from the
back roads. hut tie location probably
suited the majority, and especially the
members from the adjoining town. The
building committee pushed the work
with vigor: some OF the lumber WAS
hauled from Newport, aS none could be
found nearer, they said. that WAS we'll
seasoned. At the time the house WAS re-
moved Il large majority Of the church
and congregation lived in the southwest
part of the town. 1t was moved in win
ter when the ground WAS frozen, but
there was very little snoW; it took near

afternoon. IL the fall of 1871. believe.
How it happened was mystery, but il

acknowledgement to God of our gratitude for
His Infinite goodness and mercy. The present

literature is how 4 citizen of this republic
may spend $4,000 year on his family. 1t
isn't destined to wide circulation.-BostOn

annual living expenses down to SIS, ,952-SL

WARD MCALLIsTER has figured out how to
live on only SlS3, ,952 year. Now, if Ward
will figure out how to acquire about $lS3, 600
of that, most of us could hustle up the other
s952.-AHanta Journal.
WARD McALLIsTER figures up that gentle
man can live decently, in New York and
keep a family on sls3, 952 year. Now, if Mr..
McAllister will try his hand at showing how
q man can honestly earn enough to live on
"decently," he will be doing the country a
real SERVICE Chicago Inter Ocean.
Ina recent issue of New York paper
Ward McAllister gives full directions for
living in New York at Sl90, 900 year. 1t is
expected that he will contribute supple
mentary letter explaining why anybody
with so comfortable an income should wish
to live in New York Chicago Times.
WARD McALLIsTER, the recognized social
leader in New York City, tells reporter that
the reason why our society is limited to 400
is that few people are rich enough to keep
up with the procession. Well, Mr.. McAllis-
ter seems to be at the head of it, and he is
neither rich, handsome, blue-blooded nor
intelligent. But then, he is only society's
butler.-NeU York -Adpertiser.

morning asked by reporter what he
thought of the sub-treasury idea. II think
Mississippi might as well as undertake to
build railroad to the moon," replied the
distinguished Kentuckian. "Did you OBJ
serve the Senatorial campaign through
which Mississippi has just passed." was
asked. 81 did, j." he replied. 81 was amazed
at the attitude of ex-Congressman Barks-
dale. He is gentleman for whom all my
life have entertained not only greatest re-
spect but sincerest affection. l cannot
divine how he could have given himself
over to a scheme so visionary and 1mposSl-
BILE as the sub-treasury. OF all the schemes
of which we ever dreamed the sub-treasury
scheme is the most undemocratic: 1t is SO
unworthy of consideration that wonder
atany sane and sensible man should ell
tertain it for a moment"
81 am just as anxious as any Farmers Al
lance man can be to secure n circulating
medium adequate to the vast expanding
needs of the country. am not willing to
get this by any process that means an 1nf1a-
tion of currency. Cheap money is bad
money. We had it in abundance in the Con-
federacy. l want no more of it, Mr.. Wat
terson was asked for an expression OF opin-
ion regarding the career in the Supreme
Court of Justice Lamar, who is Mississip-
plan. In reply he said: 81 place him at the
head of all thinkers and orators OF the
South since the war, and although nave
known him during the last 25 years all the
great men of the world, including Gladstone
and Gambetta, would unhesitatingly place
Mr.. Lamar first of them all.''
