Darnell's Work.

The new election booths which the
County Commissioners have contracted for
from Calvin Darnell are completed and
ready TO be turned over TO the county.
They were inspected yesterday morning
by the county officials and others. and
were highly praised in their working. The
county will purchase 21S of the booths. at
a cost of 81. 100. Since making the contract
with the county Mr.. Darnell has invented
a registering device which counts the votes
as cast. These are attached TO the booths,
but do not go with the contract. Darnell
says he is anxious TO have them upon the
new booths in order that they will give
the greatest possible satisfaction. which
