OF BALLOTS
WAGES HOT TODAY
Americas Is Promised Very Lively
Election.
CAMPAIGN wARMEsT KNOWN.
Mayor, Three Aldermen and Clerk
Must Be Chosen and the Contest For
the Offices Will Be Spirited With
Result in Doubt Until Announced.

Today the ''battle of ballots" will be
fought to finish at the polls, and the
democratic voters will thus determine
the selection of mayor, three aldermen
and clerk for the next two years.
For weeks past the campaign has
been warmly waged, and interest now
is at highest tension, Eleven good
citizens have offered for positions of
honor and trust in the administration
of affairs municipal, and it is to be re-
GREETED that there Is not room for all
these aspirants.
The high position of mayor is to fill
ed for the full term of two years, while
three members of the council and city
clerk and treasurer are likewise to be
chosen for like term of years.
For the Office of mayor there are three
entries, Messrs. John B. Fielder, W.
F. Clarke and w. P. Wallis. ALI are
we'll known, upright and honorable
men, and whoever may be honored by
the democratic voters today the inter
ests of Americas are safeguarded and
the people satisfied.
They have each made an active and
aggressive campaign and are equally
confident that success will be theirs at
at the polls.
Next in interest comes the seven
sided aldermanic contest, and the man
who can predict the result in this race
is entitled to the Presidency or any
other Office he may desire.
The entries here are Messrs. W. e.
Brown, &. w. Glover, A. t. Oliver,
Lynn Fort, J. E. Cameron, E. A. Lock
EFT and B. Fl. Mayo. That's the list
seven of 'em-and the voter who can
not pick three good men from this
number would indeed be hard to please.
Good men they are.
But only three can be chosen of the
seven who were 'tcalled."
City Clerk Davis has the only real
snap, and being the only pebble on
that beach is sure to go in. He we'll
deserves unanimous vote.
The polls Will be opened at 0 o'clock
and closed at p. m. Justice Graham
will preside, with Messrs. W. D..
Haynes, F. A. Hooper and j. T. Cot
ney as managers, and Messrs, E. A.
Nisbet, E. L.. Query and e. J. Nc
Math as clerks.
Now go to the polls and help the
voters pick the winners in this race.

BARRELS OF HUMoR PROMISED.
In the Presentation Here of Hoyt's
Milk White Flag.

mAAA w AAtC 4 lag
Americas theatre-goers anticipate
with greatest pleasure the coming of
the splendid Hoyt company on We'd
nesday night next, 28th, and the pres
entation of the greatest of successes.
Hovt's "a Milk White Flag" is prob
ably the strongest in point of satire of
all his plays. Every element which
goes to make up the dramatic and pic
torial fabrication of a successful play
is we'll represented in the cynical and
musical comedy. Satire and special
ties iostle each other in the undercur-
rent of we'll developed plot. While
the shafts tinged with Hoyt's irony
are mainly directed against the militia,
yet, however, few vagrant arrows
are reserved for, and strikes home
with unerring accuracy, the little
weaknesses of widows, undertakers,
contractors, and others who are char
acterized IN the play.

Sore threats quickly cured by Lung kuro.

Farmers who have been making
study of the matter say that the out
look for good hay crop is much bet
ter than was anticipated. 1t was
thought. earlier in the year, that the
ice would kill off the grass and that
the crop. this year, would be smaller
than usual. Now that the grass has
fairly started in different parts of the
county the reports come in that there
is good prospect. and. with heavy
rains. which seem almost inevitable.
there Is apparently no reason why the
yield should not compare favorably
with that Of the past two or three
wears. People coming in from differ
ant parts of the county say that the
bav barns are almost emptied Of hay
and some of the farmers are begin
ming to buy hay to keep their stock
over until the time when the cattle
can be put out to pasture.
