is devoid of alcohol or any harmful

ATTENTION, JUDGES0 OF ELECTION

The State papers and interested
parties are always anxious for re-
turns as soon as vote is counted
and the judges or clerks at each
precinct are requested to call the
central office at Monterey as soon
as vote is counted and give the
total vote for each candidate. Not
the maiority, but tfe vote for each
man. ;
This will require but little
time, and the public will appreciate
it. ]. A. Whitelaw,

Did The Right Thing

The Supervisors at their meeting
on Monday, did the right and ex
pected thing by ordering a cemen
walk around the Court square
Their action ought to be crafty
ing to public-spirited enterprlslnE
citizens both of the town and
county, and for reasons too self-ev'
ident to need elucidation. ]. M.
Colaw, Mayor of the town, was
authorized to contract for the work
and Mr.. Pope, who is now laying
walk forsthe town, will probobly
do the court house square early
in September. His present con-
tract with the town, as we'll as those
with private individuals here, will
soon be completed, and it is under
stood that he will have to 60 else
where to fill an engagement before
this additional contract can be
taken up.
It is noteworthy fact that the
spirit of permanent improvement
is contagious, and, as the line OF
walk was laid up Main, private cit
liens could not resist the tempta-
ton to have walk-ways from gate
to residence, hence the North side
of Main presents an attractive ap-
pearauce.
The Methodist Sunday School lat
the last morning session, raised the
needed money for a crossing in
front of the church, and it will be
put down next week. The new
line of walk from Franklin road to
Lunsford's store is now complete
and the men are working on the
space between the c. W. Trimble
store and the First National Bank,
also an extension from Y. B. Bish-
ops corner out Spruce street toward
the Presbyterian church.
Another pleasing feature of the
present improvement era is the
perfect concord and cooperation OF
all citizens. In spite of the fact
that, in securing proper grades and
locations, some have been encroach-
ed upon and their street frontage
somewhat marred and damaged,
there has been no friction or con-
tention of a serious character. No
presumption, no condemning, no
assessing everything has moved
along tremendously, showing a
united people in the matters of
chief Importance.

Several Montereyans went down
to Mcdowell Saturday to see the
Bullpasture river 60 dry, and, Incl
dentally to pick up a few hundred
fish. The occasion was the filling
of the new dam just completed,
and the theory was that, during a
space of three hours, the entire
flow would 60 into the dam and
leave q dry bed below. But it
didn't. The plank used in the. con-
construction of the big reservoir
were not yet swollen and enough
water poured through the crevices
to spoil the fun. Some fishing was
done. however, and a few suckers
were brought home.
Since then the big dam has filled
nicely, and those who have seen it
are of opinion that the finest sort
of water power has been secured.
So mote it be!
