Our road commissioner, O. a.
Blanchard. is the citizen party can

shall not be surprised if he has large
number of Democratic votes after the
first ballot on Freeman S meeting day.

as good highway for any and all
true reforms as he makes highways
for his townsmen to travel over the
chances for an early dawn of the mil
lennium would be better than they
are now.

of the Republican party, here, he GER
tainly deserves we'll of his fellow Re-
publicans next week.
