ALBANY WILL
PLAY LOCALS
In Basket Ball Game Friday
Night

At last Americas and Albany are 20
meet on the basket ball court in a
game Friday night, after many post
ponements, delays and other interior
ences had led many to believe that
there would be no game at all this
season between the two teams.
This game will take place in AL
bany, all arrangements for the game
having already been completed by the
Albany movement 1t will be called
promptly at 1880 o'clock in order TO
allow all who wish to see the game
an opportunity to see the show after
wards.
According to reports, the Albany
team has played only one game this
season, having defeated the Moultrie
team easily. They are practicing for
a hard game. The locals on the other
hand, had practically disbanded for
the season when this challenge was
accepted, so that the game should
prove hummer from start to finish.

Honestly! Nothing would please me
more than to have you pick out the
right sort of girl and settle down in

lot system of voting that has been
receiving the consideration of the law
makers without much accomplishment.
So many fail to understand how to
prepare their ballots when there are
more than one candidate running for
the same office, in case they desire to
vote certain ticket yet desire to
vote for one or more on some other
ticket. The method is simple, how
ever, and is this. When you have
written in at the top the name OF
the ticket you wish to vote, then seek
on that ticket the names of those for
whom you do not wish to vote. Hav-
ing found them, draw line through
each of them then seek elsewhere the
names of those you wish to vote for
in the place of those you have drawn
line through, and opposite each of
said names of the substitute candi-
dates mark cross (x). In other
words when you wish to vote for a
person not on your ticket, you must
draw line through the name on your
ticket you wish to vote against and
place cross opposite the name of
the person on some other ticket you
wish to vote for. For instance in the
election to be held in Durango next
Tuesday there are twenty-one candi-
dates running on each ticket for the
same office, that of delegate to the
charter convention. Should any one,
who has written in the blank space
above the name of his ticket, mark a
cross opposite the name of some per
son on the other ticket without draw
ing line through the name Of some
one on his ticket he has voted for
twenty-five persons instead of twenty
one. Such ballot has been held by
tie judges to be spoiled ballot,
