THE ELECTION.

One Of the hottest contested
municipal fights in the history of
Franklin came off Monday in a
victory for the the present Mayor
and Council. The election
throughout the day was harmo-
NOUS aud the best Of feeling pre-
vailed and those of the opposition
feel that they were fairly and
squarely beaten. We believe that
the Council elected will do every
thing in their power for the best
interests Of the town of Franklin,
and if they have made any errors
in the past two years they will
profit by their mistakes and be
more careful in their deliberations
during their next two years of
the control Of the affairs of the
town. One of the first steps we
think the Council should do to.
wards the welfare of the town is
to get a new charter and some
steps towards this end should be
taken at their next regular meet
ing Tuesday night and presented
to the Legislature which convenes
on Monday next. Gentlemen OF
the Council, this is All important
question that has been confronting
us for some time and you should
at once take some action in the
for Franklin is sadly in
need OF IA new charter.

Dear Sir: Suppose you are going to paint

How many will use the same paint?
They' generally, will compound their own
paints.
Ihere are no two alike. And this is the
END OF the notion that painters know
how to paint
They know how to put paint on; and
that Is their business.
They ought to know what to buy. How
many or them know what to buy?
A blacksmith buys nails, because better
shoes and nails than he can make are
made for less than he can make them
