Readers of this paper have been made
aware of the law and it's conditions
passed by the last session of the legisla-
ture requiring every voter who would
cast ballot at the next election, to
register. County Clerk Waters informs
us that he received the supplies for this
purpose last Monday and will be pre-
pared to begin registration after January
1st. The law provides that voters may
register between the dates of January Let
and May 18th, but January LIST of 1900
will be New Years day, and therefore a
legal holiday and no registering viii be
done. There are 1900 voters in this
county. There are actually 135 days
from January 1sL To Nav 18th inclusive.
