WALLING FORD EVENTS,


  And Now Comes the Annual Borough
 observation-disclosures That Have Not Ma terialized A Straight Republican Ticket
 This Year.
 The annual borough election will be held week from next Saturday, No vember 21, when warden, three bur gesses, clerk, collector, treasurer, water commissioner, bailiff and auditor will be elected When the present warden and three burgesses were elected a year ago great results were expected, but as yet they have failed to material ize. There were many reforms promis- ed and the affairs of the borough were to be conducted in an economical man ner hitherto unknown in the borough government. One of the strong points was economy in the expense for legal services, improved roads and other needed reforms. One bill already paid for legal services was $650, and still there are others that will appear ir the annual report to be issued next week The improvements in the roads have not as yet shown up except, perhaps, on Ward street near the Warden's prop erty, and where the great reforms have cropped out does not as yet appear. There has been more money borrowed to meet expenses in any year since the borough was established, and talk ing it altogether the administration has not been what might be called a blooming success" The much talked of investigation of the accounts of the borough was rather expensive, and failed to be of any profit to the | borough. The action taken by the war den and borough attorney on the Pat !. ten case has not yet been forgotten, and will not be right away A year ago a citizens ticket was nominated and defeated by the, straight demo- crats. This year straight republican ticket will be nominated, and elected, As yet the probable nominees have not been to any extent talked up. H. B. 1 Hall, for warden, is one of the possi- | bilities. The present clerk. Fraray | Hale, will undoubtedly be nominated | by both parties without opposition, as all realize that he is the right man in | the right place. During the next two weeks the borough affairs will receive more attention, for of late all the 4ner- | gies have been devoted to the National affairs, where the opposition has been | routed and literally showed under, and 1t is proposed to continue the good l work
 | Yalesville had a jollifieation over the great republican victory Saturday, and made a good showing. There were many fine illuminations. Senator J. W. Mix was not forgotten by the arad- | CTS
 The election figures show that about | 300 sound money democrats in this town voted for Mckinley and the same are deserving of much credit for tkeir show of patriotism and sound good sense. It is to be hoped that they will continue in their good work

 An addition is being built to the annealing room at R. Wallace & Sons works to make more room for the largely improving business. l Do not forget to make your returns to the town clerk for expenses at the recent election before Saturday of this week. As yet, only few of the can didates, mostly justices of the peace | have made their sworn statements, and thus far all report no money invested.
