THE OLD AND THE NEW.

The old administration has stepped
down and out and the new admins
tration elected by the people of the
city has assumed charge of h af-
fairs of Roswell. With the old coun-
Gil as a whole the Record mas had no
quarrel, although we cannot say the
same with some of the individual
members.
Judge Richardson, as we look at II,
made a good mayor. He was con
scientious In the discharge of his du-
ties and gave to the city much more
time than could be asked of him.. The
results of his work are known to all,
4 city being in a better sanitary
condition than ever before.
When the old council wen int of
fee two years ago 1t vas saddled
WITH a large debt contracted by the
previous administration. This has
proved a detri-nent to their work all
through the past two years. and has
prevented the contamination of more
han one plan for the betterment of
the city. This debt was reduced to
a certain extent, notwithstanding
that many extraordinary calls were
made upon the public purse.
The new council goes into Office
under very Divers circumstances.
IL shoulders a debt of over five thou
sand dollars and has three months to

considerably swell that debt. They
will also have to do without the sa-
loon license moaey during h next
two years.
All this means that every dollar
will have to be used to the utmost
advantage and that expenses will
have to be cut to h lowest possible
point until the city is once more on
a sound financial basis. This the Rec
ord believes the present mayor and
city council will do.
To the new administration We e
tend our congratulations at the hon
ors conferred upon he various ofic-
ers by the people of the city. We
believe they will succeed in not only
carrying out the platform upon which
they were elected, but in making Ros
well a better and cleaner place In
which to live. both morally and ma
.erially.

Then manifest you appreciation of

day in the year that which she is SO
fond of doing every day.
There is no authority of law for is

THE INTERESTING WORD "ITs."

THE INTERESTING WORD ITS"
Did YOU eve notice, says TIE Path
finder. That you never find the word
its" in the Bible? There is no use
looking for il, for it isn't there. The
King James version of the English
Bible was issued just 300 a ago,
and as the word Its" was a new word
at that time il was not considered
proper to go into the Scriptures. Ev-
en- Shakespeare USED il in all his
works oaly three times. The first
piece of literature in which il appears
is a BOOK issued in 1898. OF only IL
years before the King James Bible.
Its" at that time was considered
a slang or vulgar word: it was against
the rules OF grammar, but such a word
was so much needed that when it
was introduced it soon came into ac-
cepted use. ut" was tne neuter form
of the personal pronoun "ae": the
~possessive form of it was his" not
its" In the 11tn verse of the LIST
chapter of the Bible we find the ex-
preston: { fruit rec yielding fruit
after mis- kind" This illustrates the
correct usage of that day.
In most other languages neuter
words are regarded as being mascu-
line or feminine: in German, for in
stance. h sun is feminine and moon
is masculine. while in French these
genders are reversed. The English
mind seemed to rebel at this notion
of such things having e X and so they
readily took to using its" instead of
his" as the ~possessive of the neute
proroun.
1t is very interesting to study how
the words we nov have come into
use. Many great scholars have de-
voted their lives to this science of
philology Greek meaning, love OF
words'). as il is called. Even now our
language Is constantly changing and
growing: hundreds of new words are
adopted each yea DR.. Johnson's die
tionary contained less than 10000
words. while the supplement alone to
Webster's dictionary, covering new
words adopted in the last 25 years,
includes Q 5000 words.

MODEL BALLOTS.
Registrar Woodward Designs Cards as
 Cbiect Lesson for Voters.

A. P. Woodward, one of the republi- can registrars of voters for the town of killingly, has arranged an interest ing and instructive display of cards in the show windows of a local drug store showing how to properly use the new Australian ballot at the coming town election
 The cards are outlined as the ballots will be, the form being followed ac- curately. Any voter with tangled idea relative to the use of this form of ballot can be put straight in his mind by a few minutes study of the display. Different cards are employed to show how to vote a straight repub- lican ticket and others indicating how it is possible and proper to indulge the popular taste for casting split tickets and so doing without making the ballot null and void, which is also an easy matter.
 The names of the candida tes nomi- mated at the Killingly caucuses are written in on these sample cards so it will be easy for voter to study out just how he wants to use his opportu- mites early in October
