Result Of The Election.

On last Wednesday the 25th, the
special county election was held,
which resulted in locating the court
house on the river front, by a very
small majority of 159 votes. The
official count may make some chang
es. There was 269 rejected ballots
thrown out on the West side and 20
on the East side. The East side
voted nearly 81 per cent OF their
registered voters, while the West
side voted only about 10 per cent.
While the result was surprise to
many, yet it must be accepted; but
we understand that some of the
present siters will contest the legality
of the election. If such course is
taken it will mean delay in begin
ing the work of building a new
court house.
