Remember 1t is not tomorrow that you

tomorrow are mysteries which only
tomorrow will unfold. Next week will

New Registration Ordered

The Board of Supervisors at their
last meeting ordered new registration
of the qualified voters of the county
and the registrar directed to secure new
books for that purpose. There has
been no new registration since 1902 in
the county and the books are filled
with many names where parties have
become disqualified. The election com
missioners use all possible diligence to
keep such parties names off the book
but so many changes occur annually
it is impossible to keep UP with them.
The order of the board fixes the time
to begin the new registration at Febru-
ary 1st, 1906 when an entirely new reg
istration will begin.
