The vote on the refunding of the
county bonds was very light, 14l for re-
funding and IL against, but of course
settles the question just as effectively
as though there had been full vote.
The light vote however shows how care
less voters are when it comes to
matters that are often of much greater
Importance to the people than the ques-
tion as to which party ticket shall be
successful on election day. At the gem
eral election, the full vote of the county
was cast but, when it came to voting on
the question of putting the county in
debtedness into such shape as to avoid
an enormously heavy tax on the tax
payers for the next 3 or years, only
1853 voters were enough concerned in
the result to take the trouble Of going
to the polls. OF course some one will
say that there was no danger Of the re-
funding proposition failing, but this is
not good excuse. When there Is ms
much at stake as there was in this e.
lection, it is not safe to stay away from
the polls because there is apparently no
danger Of the result Of the election be-
ing unsatisfactory, for It is sometimes
the case that over-conadence defeats
even party candidates and much more
frequently the case that 1t defeats an
important proposition such as was pre-
sented to the voters Of this county.

at the same time all the gayer forms
Of social intercourse. She confined
herself thereafter to the mild and
