AS is usually the case, the national
election last Tuesday called out small
or number of voters than the state cleo
ton in September, no special effort be-
ing made to get them out, and many be-
ing negligent about going TO the polls,
as they feel that il will have no effect
upon the result. The total number of
voters who passed through the booths
was 65T, against SIC at the state election
in September In spite OF the very SIM
pie form of the ballot, six had to be
thrown out as defective, a portion OF
them not being marked at ALL One was
defective from the printer, the face OF u
being blank, but the man who got it did
not come back to the clerks with it, but
put il in the box. The result, which Is
given in another column, shows that, as
compared with the September election,
rather more Democrats than Republi-
cans stayed at home.

ner of that street and River Street; and
to move the arc light near the b. P. AID
kins house on High Street to the eorne

addition to these, there is added an

voted down at the last meeting, givins
the assessors authority to change thu
location and kind of lights according Il
their Judgment, IL such change does no
involve any increased expense for light
