Monday March Sth is village election
One of the very important events OF
every town, as a mistake in electinp
men who have not the interest of the
village at heart is a step backward
Alma is now in condition when il
managed well it is sure TO take stride
in the right direction and consequently
our affairs should be managed by care
full, earnest, hustling business men. A
man who manages his own business
well is usually safe man to place the
affairs of the village in. Great care
should be taken in nominations and a
good ticket put up and elected. There
will undoubtedly be two tickets in the
field this year and friendly contest
made. The republican caucus is called
for Saturday evening at eight O'Clock
standard time at Adams Hall. A good
representation will be present.

they pass into disuse the better. The
sentiment of the custom has been lost.

them has transformed them into mis-
