General satisfaction was expressed
by our citizens last Monday afternoon
when the news came over the wire

unanimous choice of the people of all
the candidates that were in the field.

but finally the people were victorious.
Hurrah for Roach, the peoples choice.
Don't forget to pick out the best
man in your township who is clerically
fitted to be your township clerk. Also

election, and because they are expert
enced are likely to give better satisfac-
ton than new ones. This is particu-
larly true of the clerk and assessor.

call with pleasant memories the ball
given by the boys last year on the an
niversary of Washington's birthday,
and this time they give it out that the
coming event will be of II grander ma
ture even than its predecessor.
