We thought best to fix the day for
the election SO that the people would
nave ample notice to register and
get ready. Every white man who
wants to have a voice in his town
ship affairs should register on the
first Monday in March and vote in
this election.
If the people do not want a change
then they can let things run along in
the same old way
Next week we will give the appro-
priatlons for the different purposes
IN the county. The commutation
road tax must be expended in the
township where it is paid. We will
kn oil
county at large and will expect each
township to levy the greater part of
the funds for road purposes.
