Correspondence Of The Ro1esonian.
The result of the town cleo
ton yesterday was an overwhelm
ing victory for Mr.. J. G. Parish
for mayor and the old board of
commits sioners, which is compos-
ed of Il. O. Evans, Mckay Nc
Kinnon, A. B. Groom and W. H.
Harding. These gentlemen all
favor water works and it is quite
probable that the work will be
begun in the very near future.
Some have set the date at the
fifteenth of this month.
Preparations are being made
to entertain the delegates to the
conference that will meet We'd
nesday. 1t is supposed that all
of the conference and the lay
mems movement will be well rep
resented. The doors of Maxton
will be thrown open and every
thing possible will be done to en-
terrain this body in the proper
manner.
