Many damsels were candidates for

of them being Republicans. they have
won and will settle down in their own
sweet way to the service OF the tax
payers.
Several have been elected as registers
or deeds, several as superintendent OF
instructions, and some otiier offices will
be turned over to the girls, and there
can be no doubt that the work Will be
well done.

schoolhousas To rant for q few hours.
She retained her customary dignity
and womanliness from the beginning,
reasoning that the people knew that
she wanted their votes. If they would
not vote for her they could go to
