publications-the Yearbook of the De-

illustrations in the text, which eliminates
considerable handWork in the binding di-

working OF recent resolution the issue
has been printed in several editions. and

The Hearbooks are sewed on machines,
to complete which 9,GOU,UOO yards OF
thread are required, while the book cloth

DAY
LAST TUESDAY
Big Attendance and Some ES-
CIlsmsnt-Cy HoSkIns Re-
EIGCktGd BY Reduced Vote

Last Tuesday was one OF the few days
in the yeer when Bingyilles whole en-
tire populashion turns out en- masse. as
you might say, the occasion being the
annual spring eleekshion. The weather
was fine and there was a large vote
polled-the largest for several years. The
ballots was cast In the Town Han. and
several settees was removed to give
plenty of room for the voters to stem
up and cast their ballots. Them who
lives outside the town, but stin in the
/ oourough, either come into town 20 vote
4, on horse back or in various vehickcles
or walked. Hen weathersby. prop. of
I our general store. sold out all his cheese
before l o'clock and only had erbout 2
Tbs. Of crackers left when he closed up
Tuesday night.
Votin begin early. Hod Slocomb was the
| first man to cast a vote into the box
and afterwards shuk hands with everv-
buddy as they passed erlong to gift their
ballots. Hod was q candidate for men,
Der Of the Board Of Trade and he voted
for hisself. He dropt in his vote at ad-
zactly 2 minites after 6 A. N. by his
own watch.
Every thing went OF right peaeeable
considerin. Bale Hawkins who is a Re
publican and Brent Williams who is a
Democrat got TO arguing outside the
Town Hall. after they voted erbout wieh
party had did more lords sending free
seeds from Washington to farmers than
the other. After they had talked while
they begin TO git riied up and bye and
bye Brent called Bale a liar. AS a mat
ter Of fackt Bale will lie II he's put
to It. but he didn't like to have it
throwd up to him before a ssVhole crowd
so he waded in and hit Brent a crack in
the eye which begin to swell up as big
as hens egg immedJit Brent dubbed
Up his fist and waited for Bale to try
Il on again vSich Bale did. but mist, and
before he knowed it Brent drew OF and
hit him belt on the nose. and the way
Bales nose bled was orfuii At that in-
slant Seth Dewberry, our heroick town
constable, srrove on the scene and told
Brent and Bale he would arrest them
both for Arnachism and hurtin each other
under false pretense unless they kept
quiet. They both cooled down some then !
and Bale went to the spring back Of the |
Town Hall ana warshed the blood ofren
his face.
Ike Dooli:tle voted several times be- |

In tiIe afternoon he caught Ike at It and /
refused to allow him 10 vote emmy more /
until next yeer. This made Ike purity I
mad and he thretened TO make It hot for /
the Deacon for tryin to interfere with
the sacred rights Of d American citizen
to vote SIS he pleased. The Deacon riz
