REGISTRATION NoTEs.-There is provis-
ion IN the new election law which allows the
Board of Election Supervisors to issue re
moval certificates to persons who changed
their places OF residence or propose doing SO
before the registration. This is done to save
time, as only two days are allowed for regis
tering this year. Amy voter who has moved
or will do so before the 22d Of September,
can apply to the supervisors and get GER
tificate, which handed to the registrar IN his
new district will enable him to register.
Application must be made before the 22nd
inst, as after that the books will be in the
hands of the registrars, who cannot give
transfers except on the two days of sitting.
This is an important matter, and should be
given consideration.

of voters in this county this year, Tuesday,
