Only four days more remain in which to

use of the remaining hours, and enter
their names upon the Town Clerks books.
In the Town of Lincoln the registration
has been very good, the total number al
most equalling that of last year. Notwith-
standing this fact there are number who
have not taken the trouble to register, and
who, when the time comes to vote, will
regret the fact.
In Cumberland Town Clerk Clark has
done everything in his power to assist the
registry voters, but many have not seen
fit to take advantage Of this fact. The
offices of both the Town Clerk of Cumber-

be open until 8 o'clock the remaining
evenings Of this year, and 1t is hoped that
advantage will be taken of this fact to
swell up the registry vote.
