All voters in this county who want to partic-
ipate in the general election next year for
State, county, district and beat officers must

Democrats, and be prepared to discharge your
duty as good Democrats.

Scranton State Bank, W M. Csniy, and DeJean
L Mitchell Co., have begun the building Of

II you don't want to be debarred from voting
next year and see your name in the tax delin-
quent list you had better walk up right now and
pay all taxes assessed against you. A word
to the wise is sufficient.
