East Sumner.

Memorial Day always brings remi-
uiscences Of the past, some sad, some
cheerful. In q few more years other
hands besides the veteran soldier will
place the emblem of our nationality
upon the graves OF our c0untry's de-
tenders. Few II any country towns of
less than 800 residents can show more
soldier graves than the little, but loyal,
town Of Sumner. The Relief Corps,
which outuumbers the G. A. r. Post.
ordered 1873 metal markers for soldiers
graves in town, and even this number
was not sufficient. OF the number of
soldiers wives married in town before
the civil war, the only widows OF such
soldiers that We can now call to mind
living to-day In Sumner are, Mrs. Sarah
D., widow Of Isaac Bonney, and Mrs.
Eliza A., widow of Capt. L. B. Bisbee
Charles B. Bonney and Sharon Robinson
were each married few years before
the war and their families still remain
intact. II any reader Of these lines can
call to mind others that come within this
scope and report, We will gladly correct.
In the new and old cemeteries at East
Sumner are 3S flags to mark the soldiers
graves. OF these there are six of the
war of the Revolution, ten of the war of
1919, and twenty-five of the civil war.
In another Issue, If space will permit, We
will give the names.

Names First Primary Next Week.

Names first test of it's primary cleo
ton law, adopted by vote of the people
under the initiative, will be made on
Monday of next week, when candidates
for United States senator, governor, state
auditor, representatives in congress, and
all county officers and members OF the
legislature, will be nominated by all
parties.
The details of the law have been gone
over quite extensively by the papers, and
should be more or less familiar to the
readers. The formslities will be quite
similar TO those of the September cleo
ton. The ballot, however, and the
marking of it, are entirely different.
Instead of making one cross, as at the
September election, il will be necessary
in this case for the voter TO make cross
at the right of each name for which he
wishes to vote.
The polls open at ~ o'clock, noon, on
Monday, June II, and will remain open
until o'clock in towns of less than
three thousand inhabitants. In all but
three towns in Oxford County the polls
will close at o'clock. In three towns,
Norway, Paris and Rumford, they will
remain open until 8 o'clock.
A scarcity OF contests locally makes
conditions not the best for satisfactory
trial Of the system, still there are, on
the Republican ticket, sufficient num-
her of candidates for the first two offices
at the head of the list to create an
interest.
Many times the remark has been
heard, "What do we have to say about
the choice Of candidates? That's all
fixed up for us" Well, now's the chance
for every voter to cast his ballot directly
for the man he wants for every office on
the list. You're not confined to the
printed list. Vote for yourself if you
want to. But vote.
